== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Lightbox Plus ColorBox doesn't work =
Well, yes, it does. It's used by thousands of websites and if it doesn't work for you that because there is some problem with how it interacts with your site.
The most common cause for it not working is a jQuery conflict cause by a theme or a plugin that either does not properly instantiate jQuery or instantiate s avery old version of jQuery.
Here are things to try in order to see what the problem is.
1. Check jQuery version and make sure you are using the lastest included in WordPress
* If it's an older version or not enqueued correctly it will cause problems
* It may be in your theme or another plugin
2. You may be lacking wp_footer() function in your footer.php of your WordPress theme.
* Look at the default theme to see how it is implemented and add it into your theme.
3. Try deactivating all plugins one at a time besides lightbox plus and see if if it starts working
* If it does work after deactivating on then there's a plugin conflict
4. If deactivating plugins doesn't work then there might be a conflict with your theme
* To isolate you can try an different theme and see if it works
5. Try changing to a different lightbox style/theme and see if that makes a difference
* There may be a style conflict of some sort
6. Try deleting the plugin and reinstalling - it may have not completely updated correctly.
* You'll have to reset your settings so you might want to write them down.
= It works for some images and not others, why not? =
The problem may be with your WordPress theme, mangling image display properties. Try using another theme, that doesn't interfere with posted images.
It also seems that some more recent version of WordPress (or perhaps the plugin is causing this in some way I am not aware of) do not automatically add the link to the full size image. You must also make sure that when you are adding an image from the WordPress media dialog control you must make sure there is a link to the image in the Link URL field. The easiest way to get the correct link is to click on the link to image button beneath the field. Visual depiction of what is required when adding images in order for lightbox to function correctly.
= Lightbox Plus ColorBox doesn't work properly in browser X, Y, or Z (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Explorer 6, 7, etc.)? =
Yes it probably does, the problems may be the same as above or there may be a conflict with another plugin or a style conflict. It has been tested in Chrome, IE 7+, Firefox 2+, Chrome, Safari 3+, Opera 8+ since development began.
= Does Lightbox Plus ColorBox work with PHP 4? If not, why not? =
No it doesn't. PHP 4 reached end of life on August 8th 2008 (almost years ago.) WordPress no longer supports PHP 4 and all plugin developers are encourage to follow. The best solution at this time is to ask your host provider to upgrade to PHP 5.
You will know that Lightbox Plus ColorBox is not working because of PHP if you receive the following error:
Plugin couldn't be activated because of fatal error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /path/to/plugin/classes/filters.class.php on line 81
= Can I use this plugin and Lightview Plus, Lightbox 2 (either one), jQuery Colorbox, WP lightbox JS Plugin, Fancybox etc at the same time? =
Maybe, but probably not as they will most likely interfere with each other as they usually modify the image URLs. Other image overlay plugins may possibly be compatible.
= Can I add my own styles and images for the overlay? =
Yes, you can easily create additional styles by checking the use custom styles checkbox. It will copy the existing styles to wp-content/lbp-css and you can modify any of the existing styles. You can all adding a new folder to that directory and using the existing styles as examples create your completely custom styles.
= How does Lightbox Plus ColorBox differ from other Lightbox plugins for WordPress? =
Performance wise the ColorBox jQuery plugin is smaller and generally faster and has more options than most lightbox JavaScript plugins. The regular expressions that handle the text are more robust handling a wider variety of characters and in addition it will also grab the image title from the image to use for the overlay image caption.
= Does Lightbox Plus ColorBox work with WordPress' built in gallery =
Yes it does. There are few simple requirements however. You must set Link thumbnails to: Image File or use [gallery link="file" for the gallery options. You must check Use For WP Gallery box under Other Lightbox Plus ColorBox Settings
= When resetting/re-initializing LBP the setting do not appear correctly when the page reloads, what gives? =
This problem is only apparent in Chrome and Opera. It seems to works fine in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. There are some browser related issues and I am investigating the problem at this time. For Chrome the settings are being saved but not displayed immediately, click on the Lightbox Plus ColorBox link under appearance and you will see the current settings. Opera for whatever reason is completely failing to save re-initialization settings, you must manually set and save them or use another browser. And, no, it doesn't make sense since it's server side activity.
= Additional FAQs from Colorbox =
For addtional information please see ColorBox FAQ for information about the jQuery plugin used by Lightbox Plus ColorBox.
= Other Problems =
If your problem isn't covered in this FAQ, your best bet would be to post your question to the WordPress support forums.
Please do not contact Jack Moore the author of ColorBox for issues with Lightbox Plus ColorBox.
If you have read and tried the above and you are still having problems, and require more in-depth support or if you need extra help you may place a service request using the form on the Plugin Support Request page. Due to the volume of questions, I cannot may not be able to offer individual support though in an effort to resolve the issue I may contact you. The issue may be resolved by a new release of Lightbox Plus ColorBox but it does help me get a better understanding of the issue.
= Known Problems =
* Does not work correctly with W3 Total Cache if you are using automatic minify settings. You can manually set up minify to work correctly bypassing Lightbox Plus ColorBox (jquery-colorbox.min.js)
* No support for iPad (if someone wants to donate an iPad to me I will guarantee support)
* It generally seems to work though I just don't support it as I don't have an iPad.
* In some instances performance may be slow in older versions IE - this may be due to plugin conflicts or slow JavaScript performance in IE.
* Lightboxed video does not seem to work in IE on locally installed sites, for example viewing in IE 7.0 while running XAMPP, this seems to be a Windows only issue.
= Plugin Conflicts =
* Jetpack Carousel - When carousel is activate it take precedence over Lightbox Plus ColorBox for image use as of LBP 2.x
* Flickr Mini Gallery - Verified. Download hot fix for Flickr Mini Gallery (includes instructions) as of LBP 1.6.3
* Tabbed Widgets - Verified as of LBP 1.6.3
* DMSGuestbook - Un-verified as of LBP 1.6.3
* Gengo - Un-verified as of LBP 1.6.3
Note: Some of these conflicts were with very old versions of Lightbox Plus ColorBox and may be mitigated

* Added property "data" to specify GET or POST data when using Ajax. ColorBox's ajax functionality is handled by jQuery's .load() method, so the data property works the same way as it does with .load().
* Added property "fixed" which can provide fixed positioning for ColorBox, rather than absolute positioning.

* In IE6, closing an iframe when using HTTPS no longer generates a security warning.
* Changed the index.html example files to use YouTube's new embedded link format.
* By default, ColorBox returns focus to the element it was launched from once it closes. This can now be disabled by setting the 'returnFocus' property to false. Focus was causing problems for some users who had their anchor elements inside animated containers.

* Some functionality better encapsulated & minor performance improvements.
= 2.2 =
* Fixed "Object id #", "Object", "Object #" errors with PHP 5.1.x.
* Problem was due to circular memory leak in PHP 5.1 and 5.2 and HTML DOM object not being cleaned up.
* Altered way the content is returned to allow for closure and cleaning of object sooner eliminating memory leak.
* Due to overwhelming demand I added PHP 4 functionality back in but it is not officially supported.
* If you were seeing an error that looked something like `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /path/to/plugins/lightbox-plus/classes/shd.class.php on line 86` you have PHP 4.
* Option is automatically set to use legacy method if you have PHP 4
* You will have to manually select the option to use the PHP 4 Auto Lightbox Method if you are using PHP 5.X and wish to use legacy method.
* Fix for images with upper case file extension not being auto-lightboxed.
* Probable fix for `XML Parsing Error: no element found` likely caused by memory leak
* Unable to reproduce error but research indicates memory leak is a likely cause.
= 2.1 =

* Do Not Display Image Title using `display_titles` to `no_display_titles` to accurately reflect its use.
* Use Class Method using `class_method` to `use_class_method` to accurately reflect it's use.
* If you use any of these settings you will need to re-check them and save your settings.
* Reduced size of inline JavaScript and converted all to jQuery.
* Reduced size of some scripts using old toggle method for help.
= 2.0.2 =
* Add quick fix/hack for a big interface issue on the admin panel. See roadmap for long term solution.
* jQuery UI themes were overloading other plugins that were using the jQuery UI
* Lightbox Plus specific themes and scripts should only load on Lightbox Plus panel

* Fixed a bug in IE7 that existed with some iframed websites that use JS to reposition the viewport caused ColorBox to move out of position.
* Abstracted the identifiers (HTML ids & classes, and JS plugin name, method, and events) so that the plugin can be easily rebranded.
* Small changes to improve either code readability or compression.
= 1.7 =
* Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.7
* $.colorbox can now be used for direct calls and accessing public methods. Example: $.colorbox.close();
* Resize now accepts 'width', 'innerWidth', 'height' and 'innerHeight'. Example: $.colorbox.resize({width:"100%"})
* Added option (loop:false) to disable looping in a group.
* Added options (escKey:false, arrowKey:false) to disable esc-key and arrow-key bindings.
* Added method for removing ColorBox from a document: $.colorbox.remove();
* Fixed a bug where iframed URLs would be truncated if they contained an unencoded apostrophe.
* Now uses the exact href specified on an anchor, rather than the version returned by 'this.href'. This was causing "#example" to be normalized to "http://domain/#example" which interfered with how some users were setting up links to inline content.
= 1.6.9.7 =
* Fixed auto-lightbox breaking links that contained manually created `rel="lightbox[]"` attributes.
= 1.6.9.6 =

* Fixed invalid function call that would prevent older versions of IE (7 or less) from rendering lightbox at all.
* Fixed issue that if admin was being accessed via SSL you could not save settings.
* Fixed some skipping of images being auto-lightboxed. May not resolve all issues - please let me know at Hi
"});` * Changed `$.fn.colorbox.element()` to return a jQuery object rather the DOM element. * jQuery.colorbox-min.js is compressed with Google's Closure Compiler rather than YUI Compressor. * Added `'innerWidth'` and `'innerHeight'` options to allow people to easily set the size dimensions for ColorBox, without having to anticipate the size of the borders and buttons. * Renamed `'scrollbars'` option to `'scrolling'` to be in keeping with the existing HTML attribute. The option now also applies to iframes. * Bug fix: In Safari, positioning occassionally incorrect when using '100%' dimensions. * Bug fix: In IE6, the background overlay is briefly not full size when first viewing. * Bug fix: In Firefox, opening ColorBox causes a split second shift with a small minority of webpage layouts. * Simplified code in a few areas. * Special thanks for navjotjsingh for the include, excude fix for WordPress built in gallery = 1.6.3 = * Eliminated conflict with Featured Content plug-in * Removed `jQuery.noConflict()` due to poor implementation on my part. * Kept `$lbp` jQuery variable. * jQuery conflicts should all be resolved - hopefully. * Minor modification to `wp_enqueue_script` function cal to include colorbox version. * Now works with WordPress Mu if `rel=lightbox[]` is added manually. * Working on solving auto lightboxing issues with WordPress Mu = 1.6.2 = * Added `jQuery.noConflict()` to the initiator to hopefully eliminate issues with other jQuery libraries loading and causing conflicts. * Changed jQuery `$` variable to `$lbp` to give a unique constructor. * Added replacement shortcode gallery method to allow Lightbox Plus to work with shortcode galleries called via the `echo do_shortcode('[gallery link="file" size="thumbnail"]');` method in templates. * Replacement shortcode gallery function automatically adds `rel="lightbox"` or `class="cboxModal"` as selected in options. * Added code to automatically cleanup doubled title tags from shortcode galleries. * Added quick links to the plugin listing on the plugin page. * Some minor UI tweaks to the admin page. = 1.6.1 = * Fixed IE display issues for elegant and shadowed themes. * Should now correctly grab path to images for IE 6/7/8 * Re-added additional simple styles blue, green, grey, purple, red, teal, yellow in addition to black and white * Fixed prev/next buttons in simple styles to only display when cursor hovers over left or right of image. = 1.6 = * Added the much requested feature for Lightbox Plus to work with WordPress' built in gallery * Added checkbox to select whether to use with WP built in gallery. * Updated Lightbox Plus to use new version of ColorBox * Updated ColorBox to version 1.3.1 with the following changes * Removed the IE-only stylesheets and conditional comments. All CSS is handled by a single CSS file for all examples. * Removed user-agent sniffing from the js and replaced it with feature detection.

It was pointing to a non-existent style (shadow instead of shadowed.) = 1.5.3 = * Added class based option. * If options is checked, Lightbox Plus will only lightbox images via class: cpModal attribute. * Using this method you can manually control which images are affected by Lightbox Plus by adding the cpModal class the image link URL and checking the Don't Auto-Lightbox Images option. * Added option to not automatically add attributes required for Lightbox Plus to work. This allows for more manual image control. * Added option not to display image titles. * Updated ColorBox to version 1.2.5 = 1.5.2 = * Reset/re-initialize button on the plugin page will now remove the old files that were not removed during upgrade to 1.5.x from pre 1.5 versions. * Fixed the slideshow timing to display and save correctly - any amount of time over 5000 milliseconds was displaying as 13000 milliseconds. * Miscellaneous cosmetic fixes and text adjustments = 1.5.1 = * Fixed the need to haveclass="imagebox" added to image links
