Lightview Plus is a wordpress plug-in which integrates Lightview into your wordpress blog and automatically changes all image links, so the images will open with lightview. Now, it is possible to show videos from YouTube and Vimeo with lightview.

- Download Lightview javascript and decompress it
- Copy the directories „css“, „images“ and „js“ of the decompressed folder to /wp-content/plugins/lightview-plus/
- Activate the plug-in in the plug-in menu
- That’s it!
Update
To backup the lightview javascript on update, it is possible to activate a backup function in the options menu.

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.
Current Version
The actual version is v2.5.3.2. Now, it supports YouTube, blip.tv and Vimeo videos.

Ok I fixed that one, but still have some funny shaoes when loading canvas for image or video.
Re-Upload the whole lightview javascript directories…
Just did it. As you can see, same effect
As well, is it possible to be able align it on right or left to have txt on the side just like with images?
Ok, well the idea is this… rel=‚gallery[mygallery]‘ and rel=‚set[myset]‘ appear to have no bearing on how images are displayed. I wanted to make a specific gallery but that lightview function seems to be being ignored. So I guess my question is has this plugin disabled the gallery or set function?
What I would like to do is create a gallery where the images can be shown in a slideshow. That works by default on any post. However, there are some images that i do not want to appear in the slideshow and those ones just appear anyhow. I thought creating a gallery or set would fix this, then found out that galleries and sets appear to make no difference at all.
And unfortunately rel=‚iframe‘ also doesn’t appear to work either by the way.
The plugin creates for linked images own gallery sets. So, if you change links to images manually, it won’t work.
Sorry Thorsten, I don’t quite understand? So you can’t create different sets or galleries then?
The Plugin creates of each post a gallery set. If you use the plugin, you can’t create own sets.
Oh, that’s a shame. Oh well, thanks anyway. It’s still an elegant plugin.
Maybe overiding that might be an idea for an update in the future? Just a suggestion
I know that the is in my template, and I don’t have any other installed plugins apart from a spam filter. It still doesn’t work
this is the html:
([caption id=““ align=„alignnone“ width=„1200“ caption=„Still Batman“][/caption])
When I click on the image it just takes me through the image link, no lightview stuff.
Please help ASAP
oh, html doesnt work…
Point is I followed the steps right ( I think ) and it doesnt work
You havn’t installed the lightview javascript, as described above.
I added the link as per the instructions but get this when I update my wordpress page:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /nfs/c05/h01/mnt/70077/domains/littlegettysburgmusic.com/html/wp-content/plugins/lightview-plus/simplexml.class.php on line 273

Oh, ok! Thanks a lot
Hey John, you see the answer in the error message. Contact your webhosting provider. He has to activate the option to get files from remote servers in the php.ini.
