I just released Lightbox Plus 1.6.2 to address issues with jQuery conflicts and implementation or shortcode galleries in templates.  Here are the latest changes.

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 quicklinks to the plugin listing on the plugin page.
• Some minor UI tweaks to the admin page.

I’ve discovered that the great plugin Flickr Mini Gallery conflicts with Lightbox Plus (and probably any other plugins that implement jQuery using the wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); method.

I took a look at the code and have created a hotfix for version 1.0 of Flick Mini Gallery.

Here’s how to fix the issue:

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.

Upgrade 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.
