I’m happy to say Lightbox Plus now works with WordPress’ built in gallery. This has been the most requested feature by far. There are few simple requirements however. You 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 Settings

I noticed and had pointed out several issue with the latest release of Lightbox Plus. I am planning on releasing another version today that will hopefully recify the issues.
The upgrade was not removing the old unneccesary files from the plugin – the plugin needs re-initialization at least once upon upgrading. This will now remove old Lightbox Plus files assuming you have the correct permissions on you server to do so. Otherwise you must manually remove the following files and directories:
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/images/*.*
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/images/
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/js/lightbox.js
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/css/*.css
This will give you a clean install. You will still want to re-initialize or set and save the settings for Lightbox Plus before proceeding.

I’ve updated all my plugins to be compatible with WordPress 2.8. There are still the lingering bugs that affect some people but not others. Here’s the latest news and updates regarding the plugins.

I know there have been a lot of questions about issues with Lightbox Plus. I’m currently trying to track down the cause for most of them. I’ll try to answer what I can here and hopefully have some resolution for the other issue soon. I’m working on completing a project that is taking up most of my coding time but as I am going to be using Lightbox Plus in this project I will soon be concentrating effort on improving it and hopefully solving the remaining issues.
A bug was pointed out to me recently that may be causing issues with IE – I’m going to correct that and hopefully that will solve some of the problems people have been having.
Issues with the lightbox tags rel=lightbox not showing up is probably due to the Image Title or Image Caption not being set. Images added prior to LB+ installation may or may not have them. Images added in older versions of WordPress (2.3-) probably won’t have them.
I have just released another version that correct a definite IE error with Lightbox Plus so please let me know if this solves your issue. It may also correct the issue with the Loading and Close image paths as well.

I’ve got a whole lot on my plate and development efforts for Lightbox Plus, FLIR for WordPress and Actionable are going to have to go on hold for a bit. I’m going to try to push out another release of Lightbox Plus either tonight or tomorrow then after that I probably won’t even be able to provide much in the way of support for about a week and a half. I’ve got to literally cram a 3-4 week project into 3-4 days. I’m not looking forward to it. Then I’m going out of town for about five days for a much needed escape.
To get the project I need to finish out done by Thursday of next week I’m looking at some frameworks for PHP though I’m not sure they wouldn’t just slow me down. Ideally they shouldn’t and right now I’m trying to decide between CakePHP and Symfony. Both are good but it’s pretty much going to be whichever I can pick up on quickest tomorrow or Sunday night.
After I get back from being away I will still have more to do on the project but I should hopefully be able to put some time into the plugins – at the very least I should be able to do some support. I hope everything doesn’t go to hell in a handbasket while I’m gone.
I just finished version 1.0 of Lightbox Plus. Lightbox Plus is a WordPress plugin that implements Lightbox JS by Lokesh Dhakar. Lightbox Plus is used to create overlay display images on the webpage and to automatically add the correct overlay links to images. Lightbox Plus captures the image title for display.
You can download it and get support on the Lightbox Plus page.
