Lightbox Plus is updated to version 2.4.5 which include compatibility with WordPress 3.3 and also updated Colorbox to version 1.3.19. This is an interim release to bring Lightbox Plus up to compatibility with version 3.3 or WordPress. I am currently in the process of preparing a beta release of version 2.5 which has a major interface overhaul as well as the addition of numerous options such as the ability to position the lightbox in a specific location on a page, the ability to set the position of the lightbox to stay in the viewport even when the page is scrolled, per page usage of Lightbox Plus and the ability to auto-launch the lightbox on page load.

I’m looking for some folks to beta test the upcoming version of Lightbox Plus (v.2.5). It’s undergone some major changes and I’d like to do a little extra testing with it. I’m also looking for some people who might be willing to translate Lightbox Plus into other languages.
Please contact me using one of the following links to let me know if you are interested in beta-testing or translating or both.
See after the jump for details of the new changes.
I have a number of new features in the works for Lightbox Plus for WordPress and I thought I’d go ahead and mention some of them here now. I was hoping to release the version today or tomorrow but it looks like it’s probably going to be later in the week. In any event I have the following items planned.
An option to set fixed positioning that will keep the lightobox centered in the visitor’s viewport while scrolling the page. Also the option to specify the horizontal and vertical position of the lightbox on the page.
Option to turn on or off grouping labels, and a fix for the grouping labels not always saving when changed. Option to turn of scroll bars even if content overflows the lightbox. And finally and option to open the lightbox immediately when a visitor lands on the page.
Ability to set additional option for them such as Overlay Opacity, Overlay Close, Transition Type and Resize Speed.
I intend to reorganize some of the elements of the WordPress admin interface to provide a more consistent experience for users and make it easier to find settings.
Lightbox Plus 2.4 has been released. I have completely removed support for PHP 4 at this point. PHP 4 reached end of life as of August 8th 2008 and WordPress no longer supports it going forward. Do not upgrade if you are using PHP 4. I also added a small patch to the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser to check for the existence of the mbstring library which was causing issues for some folks. Milan Petrovic pointed out a minor bug that was causing syntax highlighter using Alex Gorbatchev JavaScript SyntaxHighlighter to not work. This was traced back to the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser stripping out return. Currently this is set to leave returns in but will be added as an option soon.

Lightbox Plus 2.3.1 has been released. This release includes an update of the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser from version 1.1 to version 1.5 which should correct some bugs and enhance functionality and speed. I also modified the way the jquery-colorbox.min.js script is en-queued to reduce the chance of conflict with other plugins and updated some styles that were out of date.
This was a quick release prior to the upcoming 2.4 release which will remove PHP 4 support completely.

After a long, long wait I have released Lightbox Plus to version 2.3. It should show up in updates pretty soon if not already. Unfortunately it’s a relatively minor update though it does add some additional functionality both on the WordPress side (up to 100 inline lightboxes are available) but also a variety of changes with ColorBox.
This update includes ColorBox version 1.3.17. I also fixed some minor internal bugs and some incorrect text. And finally I verified compatibility with WordPress 3.2.x.
