About
As the name shows, this is just Wordpress’s version of the jQuery Lightbox Plugin written by balupton, perfectly working with Wordpress 2.2 or up, and fully compatible with K2!
Instructions
Just download the plugin, unzip the files to the wp-content\plugins folder and activate the plugin in Wordpress options.
Then, every time you want to use the Lightbox effect, just place a link to the image, and add the rel=”lightbox” attribute to it, in order to activate the effect when the link is clicked. You can also use rel=”lightbox-album” replacing album by a any keyword to group some pictures on an album!
Sample
Click the image bellow!
HTML code sample:
<a href="image.png" title="Image Title" rel="lightbox"><img src="image_thumbnail.png" alt="Image Title" /></a>

Original version of jQuery Lightbox Plugin developed by Balupton.

Hi Pedro. Its Luis Serrano from Spain.
Im trying to uninstall/delete jQuery Lightbox but once its done, effect keep present on my blog. How can i uninstall jQuery Lightbox at all?
Thanks
Just remove the “jquery-lightbox-balupton-edition” that is at “wp-content/plugins/”… if it still persists, it’s cache of you browser!
Hi again Pedro, thanks. Check this…
Ive deactivated the plugin via wp admin panel, and deleted plugin folder (jquery-lightbox-balupton-edition) via ftp. Once the plugin is totally out and deletion confirmed, i do clean all my browers cache at all. But jQuery still there, Working like a ghost!
- Tested in Firefox (With clean cache)
- Tested in Explorer (With clean cache)
- Tested in Chrome (With clean cache)
- And, tested in Safari (First time use,newly installed for this test)
Somehow, jquery files are still working by server side. Even if I delete the folder manually. Checking files via hosting admin panel or ftp, same result: plugin folder deleted.
From here, I dont know what to do. Please, i need some help to fix it.
Thanks again Pedro.
Thanks very much for this excellently coded plugin.
The effect is beautiful.
Muchos Gracias.
Can I use this with text.
like inline?
thanks
Dave
No sorry… only if you change the code for yourself!
When I activate this plugin, my entire site is no longer centered. Can you give me an idea on what would be causing this?
Most likely there is a compatibility problem with the CSS on your theme and the CSS of the plugin… :S
i have the plugin working on my images but i get a link to jQuery Lightbox Plugin (balupton edition)and click to close, hover top interact in the top corner, is this possible to turn off ???
thanks richard
You want to remove the message, is that it? Just check the above comments, there’s one here showing how to achieve this with CSS!
Hi, I have been looking through the comments and can’t find how to get rid of the title at the top right “balupton edition”. Can you link me to the comment that says it?
Thankyou very much
Just add the following to your CSS stylesheet!
#lightbox-overlay-text {
display:none !important;
}
Hi,
Thanks for your nice plugin.
I dont want people to download my images on my wp blog so,
I just want to remove the download link that appear under the image frame, i removed the title tag but there is always a link named “untitled”. Is is possible to remove that link?
You can set a title=”" tag on each of the “a” tags, but that won’t remedy the download part, just the “untitled” part…
First, thank you for this great plugin.
Referring to your response above, does this also mean that the link cannot be disabled? I currently use LightBox 2 on my site which does not allow downloading. Also, I am implementing your plugin on my localhost.
Hi Petro i must say that this is a nicely coded plugin great! Thanks for the plugin.
Hi Pedro!
Thanks for this great plugin, but the there is one problem. Plugin seems to be working well, but only on the main page, if I do “cut” posts, it is not working anymore.
Could you advise something?
Great plugin cheers. When the first image opens up, it is dropped down on the page, then when i click the next ones, they rise back up into their proper position. Then when i click prev, the orginal image is back in the correct position again.
It only happens on the first time you open a gallery.
The link is here http://restyleloft.com/wp/loft-conversions/loft-bedroom/
any ideas?
Cheers
I found that first time ( after loading ) repositioning does wrong, because main thread work fast and second repositioning holds in the reposition_failsafe, but options with true nHeight is lost and the second fire repositionBoxes make wrong calculations.
To fix the issue, option for second call of repositionBoxes should be stored.
I am adding reposition_options as class variable:
reposition_failsafe: false, // failsafe
reposition_options: {}, // saved options
and save the option in the repositionBoxes function:
if ( this.repositioning )
{ // Already here
this.reposition_failsafe = true;
this.reposition_options = options;
return null;
}
this.repositioning = true;
and
if ( $.Lightbox.reposition_failsafe )
{ // Fire again
$.Lightbox.repositioning = $.Lightbox.reposition_failsafe = false;
$.Lightbox.repositionBoxes($.Lightbox.reposition_options);
}
Hi,
When the initial image opens up, it is low on the screen. Then it gets in the correct position again. Can this be fixed so it opens in the correct position.
Cheers,

I have the same problem
Hi — I’m wondering if there is a way to have the info that gets displayed at the bottom of the images appear without having to mouse over the image first. I am using that info to describe each painting in a gallery and I’d like to to load when the image loads and stay up the entire time time the user is clicking thru images in a galllery.
Thanks so much
AJ
