FAQ
Nothing is opened with lightview?
In you theme the <?php wp_head(); ?> is missing. Please, add it.
Images are still not opened with lightview!
Maybe an other plug-in uses jQuery or an older version of prototype oder scriptaculous. Deactivate the plug-ins or let me know if you found an alternative.
I added images to my text, but they are not clickable and they are not shown with lightview.
You have to create a link to the image. E. g. create a link from the image to the same image or a bigger one.
Is there a jQuery version of lightview?
I am not the author of lightview. I have done a wrapper for wordpress. Please, ask the author of lightview and let me know about the alternative.
Lightview does not work in browser xy on OS yz. / How do I change the display of lightview?
I have no look into the lightview javascript code. Please, ask the author of lightview.

Hm, do Nick Stakenburg charge us for a license for Lightview now??
It seems so! But I think $3 is worth for his good script!
I agree with you, Thorsten. I bough the $3 license last night!
Yes, you have to pay for it now.
So did I. The Euro is 1.5 Dollar right now, so I don’t mind at all!
@Phil
OK, if you want to donate a little bit more, don’t hesitate to press my donate button, too
I bought the license today and just waiting for the javascript, I am hoping this will reduce my amount of queries by disabling lightbox and a script I use to auto add the rel tag.
thank you
@JamesT
You have to download the lightview-javascript on the website of the author. You do not get anything per email.
The Plugin doesn’t read the title!
Wordpress write the tags in this way:
In this case you doesn’t see the title.
If you change it to:
you see the title on the picture.
Can you have a look at it?
That is not true! The standard wordpress installation does not write the title-tag to the a-href-tag. Today, you have to do it manually.
I have a look, what I can to in one of the next version.
It’s nice but it will be very slow down when your visitor using internet explorer under 7.0
hmmm I have 2 installation of a german wordpress and both put the title tag behind the img tag and not behind the a tag.
its the installation form the german wordpress site. Is here anyone who can give me a hint where I can change this?
In the mean time I will change it in html-text.
@catur
Please contact Nick Stakenburg — the author of the lightview-javascript (url is in the text above). I did only the integration of the javascript into wordpress
@klausing
thank you for your idea you wrote my by email…
Hi!
I’ve already updated lightview throught my wordpress automatically and the plugin doesn’t work anymore…
Do i need anything to install o anything to be written in HTML code ?
Thanks
Please read the installation instructions above. You have to copy the lightview-javascript into the plugin directory manually.
I am having an issue after i installed this plugin, the text editor is not showing properly. Have any idea why could that be? :O
