New Lightbox plugin for WordPress (updated: bugfix)
Full details and the plugin are available on the new Lightbox page. (updated: bugfix!)
I’ve modified the Lightbox 2.2 plugin for WordPress blogs… If you’ve had trouble getting Lightbox to work with your site, because eg: you’ve installed wordpress in /wordpress/ instead of /, give this plugin a try!
- This version works when wordpress is installed in non-standard locations, ie: /wordpress/ instead of /, whereas similar plugins break.
- This version uses the arrow keys as well as P, N, and X to navigate images. Other plugins do not.
- Minor cosmetic changes.
Lightbox javascript opens images within the current page, while dimming the screen. Click the thumbnails below for a demonstration.
Implementing lightbox on your site is easy: just add rel=”lightbox” to your images’ “href” tags or rel=”lightbox[groupname]“ to a group of related photos. If you use WordPress and have photos on Flickr.com, try the Hemingway-Flickr plugin for wordpress, which has full Lightbox integration.
will this work on any image on your site as long as it has a href? does rel=lightbox work on img src? I love this plugin but am hoping to use it without hemingway or flickr – I store all my own photos on my server and call them with img src.
Ineed, this plugin works fine all by itself. Just add the rel=”somephotogroupname” to your a href links and the Lightbox scripts do the rest.
It does not work on (img src) only on (a href) so post thumbnails that link to fullsized images.
ok, I installed and everything seems to work perfectly. Kudos on a job well done. Quick question though, can you show the info on the file like you have on your pictures, if you do not use Flikr? If is some editble tag somewhere that’s easy enough, I’m just not sure where to look.
Not to my knowledge, but I’ll keep this in mind as a feature when I finish school and can get around to it.
I installed, but when I use it, I just get a black screen where the lightbox screen should be.

Actually, you’re not linking to anything, so “nothing” is showing up in lightbox. Try uploading a picture, and linking to it.
