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.

Hello,
Is it possible to disable the white play button overlay?
Thanks,
Roger
Yes. You have to change the styles.css in the plugin directory
Many thanks!!
Hi All,
Please help me. How can i overwrite loading icon with some other loading icon in lightview?
Thanks,
Priya
You have to edit the styles.css in the plugin directory
So I can not figure out how to get the shadow box to come up? I also do not have a x tab on the screen and no play button like the one on http://www.jonsi.com Any ideas?
Petersen, first, copy the lightview javascript, the css and image-folder again in the plugin-directory.
And jonsi.com doesn’t use lightview-plus
Hi,
since I said yes to your plugin update, lightview is not working anymore. I deactivated it and deleted it, I install it again and it’s still not working ! can I know where I could download the previous version of it which was working pretty good ? I really miss it, it’s the best plugin I found in the lightbox style ! I’m sure nothing is missing, because it’s really since I click on the update that it stopped to work
Nice to hear, that you like my plugin. I changed only some small things at the plugin and I’m sure, that this never broke the plugin.
First, check, that the lightview javascript is still in the lightview-plus plugin directory. If you do an update and the option to backup the javascript files, they will be deleted.
Second, I see you run your website with some plugins, that uses jQuery. jQuery is an JavaScript Framework. Lightview uses the prototype javascript framework and some plugins that uses jQuery breaks lightview.
Hi,
The plugin is great but I am having problems with the it. When I tried to add videos from Vimeo, it is not generating a preview pic like Youtube. It’s just show up blank. Is there a way i can fix this problem?
I think, you hosting provider has disabled the php function fopen()
I love this plugin, but i have a problem with the header and footer when im clicking on an image or video, the body is fading out but not the header and footer. Any ideas? You can check my blog to see the problem.
There is no clickable image, so I can’t test it.
Check the videos.
