    Is there a deregister function I can use to disable the lightbox completely? I think having a simple checkbox to enable or disable the ligthbox should definitely be a feature. The style of fancybox is very obvious and not easily customized. Plus there are many other lightbox solutions out there. The choice of lightbox should be left to the user if possible.

    If you don’t want the lightbox to be displayed, add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

    remove_action( 'wp_footer', array( Envira_Shortcode_Lite::get_instance(), 'gallery_init' ), 1000 );

    That should prevent it from loading. Would you consider giving the plugin a 5-star review? I’ve just pushed an update to fix numerous things including lifting the gallery creation limit.

    I’m still reviewing it and will definitely take a closer look with the new update.

    That remove_action produces a fatal error if the plugin is not active. Is there a conditional I can throw in there so it doesn’t take down the whole site if I deactivate the plugin for a second?

    Sorry, here’s the Error:
    Fatal error: Class 'Envira_Shortcode_Lite' not found in /path/to/theme/functions.php on line 885

    And it actually produces the error regardless of whether the plugin is activated or not.

    Apologies – here is the proper way to make that happen:

    if ( class_exists( 'Envira_Gallery_Lite' ) ) {
        remove_action( 'wp_footer', array( Envira_Gallery_Shortcode_Lite::get_instance(), 'gallery_init' ), 1000 );
}

    This last option does not (no longer?) work on WP 3.9 – is there another solution?
