Lightbox not working

[torndownunit]

I am having an odd issue, individual thumbnails (not part of galleries) aren’t enlarging in Lightbox. I have multiple theme licenses, and have set the theme up on sites before and not had this issue. Can you think of any reason why this might be happening?

The only plugins I have installed are Theme BLVD ones, and Gravity Forms.

p.s. site is in maintenance mode so I can’t send a link. I would need to send you a login/pass. If you need one let me know.

Just thought I’d check if you had any general trouble shooting tips first.

Thanks

Hello,

Yeah, you’d need to send me a link to for me to tell you anything, as whatever the issue is has something to do with your specific setup. I’m not really sure what to go off from the information you’ve given me.

You can send login info through My Account > Send Private Info here on this website.

Ok info is sent, thanks a lot.

Ok, I just checked out your site, but all you have is images linking to images. You haven’t set them to link to a lightbox. Follow this video: https://vimeo.com/32560047

You need to add rel attribute themeblvd_lightbox to the anchor tag linking to the enlarged images.

I did the first one of your products for you as an example.

Thanks! I honestly had no idea I needed to manually ad the tags. Good to know!

Something is weird about how you’re pasting this text in or writing it out. The problem is that you’re putting rich-text quotation marks into your HTML, opposed to actual quotation marks that you would get by typing them directly into the keyboard.

So, you have this:

<a href="http://solsidanbar.com/solsidan/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/afterwork.jpg" rel=”themeblvd_lightbox”>

But you need to this:

<a href="http://solsidanbar.com/solsidan/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/afterwork.jpg" rel="themeblvd_lightbox">

Notice how the quotes look around the themeblvd_lightbox part. I think it may be a matter of just how you’re copying and pasting that line from somewhere.

OMG, haha. thanks so much for your help. I just noticed the quotes. It worked very well with your code and the quotes 🙂

Thanks for the great support you have! I just LOVE the theme 😀
