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.
Installation
- Copy the lightview-plus directory to the wordpress plug-in directory under /wp-content/
- 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.

- All the rest is done from lightview-plus automatically

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.

Hi Thorsten,
I also disable the script that adds the rel lightbox tag, I will enable the plugin and post the HTML tag you ask.
thank you
< a title=„Louie Vignette“ rel=„nofollow“ >< /a >
hope this helps
James, send me a link to an IMAGE, please. Not a normal link.
As I can see on you webpage, you have lightbox enabled and not lightview.
I think I know what your problem is. All imagelink have two rel= „lightbox“ tags and a class=„thickbox“. With both, it will not work!
I have enabled it thorsten and any of the front page photos are now lightview
As described above, all your your links to the images have a rel=„lightbox“-tag and a class=„thickbox“-tag. And you have also lightbox-2 enabled.
So, you know where you have to work on and what is causing your problem!
thorsten thank you that is exactly what is causing the issue .…. I now have to manually remove the thickbox class and it works
Thorsten. all ok apart from one major issue concerning IE 7.0 5730.13 when your plugin is activated it timesout the browser and nobody can connect. The error is server timedout check that your connected to the internet. I disabled your plugin and it clears .…
Any help greatly appreciated.
check, if all links on your webpage don’t throw a 404-error or edit the lightview.js file and set preloadHover to false.
the add-ons doesn’t work on my site…in fact it doesn’t work anymore after i update the wordpress..help..
Have you read the installation notes above on this site? You have to copy the lightview javascript manually to the plugin directory due to license things.
Hi Thorsten,
I have no 404’s on my main page and I have changed the preload to false and I still have the IE browser crashing.…
firefox and safari are fine btw
You can click on all pictures on your site and all of them are ok? If so, please ask the author of the lightview javascript.
Man, I fiddled with this for quite a while before switching the theme back to wordpress default. Apparently, the theme I was using hardcoded something that prevented the effects from working.
I can’t seem to get this working. I have done exactly what this says, how do I get it where when they click the image it works?
