Inserted Gallery with no pictures in lightbox.

[borams]

Thank you for the great theme.

I am adding gallery to a post using ‘add media’ button right above the text editor. Gallery was added to the posts but the lightbox didn’t show the pictures in them. Just opaque background with x button on top right corner.

Am I doing something wrong?

I also have experienced this problem today as was just going to post the same question.

Hi,

Your gallery items are linking to their attachment page. You need to edit the gallery and set them to link to the media file, that’s the only way a lightbox will work.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. But could you explain how to link them to media file?

I have tried these  and both gave me the same result. No image in the light box.

I. Add Media -> Create Gallery -> Select Images -> Create a new gallery (button on the right bottom) -> Gallery Settings Links to ‘Media File’ -> Insert gallery

II. Add Media -> Create Gallery -> Select Images -> Create a new gallery (button on the right bottom) -> Gallery Settings Links to ‘Attachment Page’ -> Insert gallery

It should be 1)

Try doing that, update the page and let me know so I can check.

I have tried that and it’s not working.

I updated the page and you can check.. But  it looks like still linking to attachments files even though I used 1 method.

Privately reply with your WP admin login and I’ll personally have a look.

Same problem for me. I can’t event get lightbox to work for single images either, and yes, they are Link to Media File

 

(borams sorry for hijacking your thread)

I think it’s a bug or maybe just my site. It will set as attachment even though I set as media file on initial creation. But if I edit the gallery setting to “attachment file” and save and change back to “media file” and save using edit icon in the gallery. It will show the image in the lightbox.

It will solve the problem for me. If it’s a bug in the theme, it would be nice to get it fixed in next update.

@ritchmedia no problem. Try the above method, it may solve your problem too.

@Cosmin I will privately reply for my login, so you can take a look.

Is there a way to customize the lightbox? I want to add at least the next and previous icon on the lightbox.

@borams Yes, that seems to work. It’s not right though – there must be a bug somewhere

I replaced the existing code with this

“[gallery itemtag="div" link="file" columns="4"]”

That worked for me however users cant move to the next image

Hey guys,

Try using the shortcode as it’s written just above. The theme doesn’t alter anything with regards to the WordPress default gallery, but maybe when you set it to link to the media file, it doesn’t update properly.
