  • Hi, Easy FancyBox is incompatible with any theme from Elegant Themes as they all include their own version of FancyBox. Sorry.

    About the wrapping title, it can probably be solved with some CSS patching.

    I do not see that happening on your site. Did you solve it already? If not, which browser are you using?

    Ravan, Thanks for your response. I found a savvy programmer in Canada who was able to modify my theme to accomplish what I wanted. Before that, I discovered that the fancybox “inside” title would be the way to go as the titles were wrapping just fine on the thumbnails. But ideally, I wanted the thumbnails to only have a few words and entice the visitor to click on the image to read the rest of the caption. This required some serious skills, which the programmer was able to do for me. I’m surprised that Elegant Themes does not offer more customizability with the plugin technology they use in their themes. Certainly choices such as outside or inside titles and title font size/line-height should be easier to access than ferreting out the et-ptemplates-frontend.js file and changing the title attribute! Of course, it took some clever coding to do the intro captions.

    One little annoyance remains, though. Tool Tips pop up over each thumbnail with the same text as the short caption. This seems to be a problem with Firefox as Chrome ignores them. I haven’t tested it out in IE as I don’t really use that browser.

    If you can get your Canadian Custom Coder ?? to do one more thing for you, you can have the tooltip thing solved too. Tooltips are usually taken by the browser from the title attribute. In this example from your page you can see where it comes from:

    <a title="Dick van Dyke..." rel="et_gallery" href="https://thetasound.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/JL-and-Dick-van-Dyke-600.jpg" class="fancybox" fullcaption="Dick van Dyke and Jim Latham hangin’ out during Dick’s “Rapper” session for Viacom Television at Theta Sound Studio.">
       <img src="https://thetasound.com/wp-content/uploads/et_temp/JL-and-Dick-van-Dyke-600-188420_170x170.jpg" width="170" height="170">   <span class="gallery_image_overlay"></span>
    </a>

    If that title attribute would be converted to an img tag, like so:

    <a rel="et_gallery" href="https://thetasound.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/JL-and-Dick-van-Dyke-600.jpg" class="fancybox" fullcaption="Dick van Dyke and Jim Latham hangin’ out during Dick’s “Rapper” session for Viacom Television at Theta Sound Studio.">
       <img alt="Dick van Dyke..." src="https://thetasound.com/wp-content/uploads/et_temp/JL-and-Dick-van-Dyke-600-188420_170x170.jpg" width="170" height="170">   <span class="gallery_image_overlay"></span>
    </a>

    … then there would be no tooltip anymore ??
