Just Installed/ Not Working

  • Hello. First of all, I really love the support and friendliness that the author provides here. That’s one of the reasons I’ve decided to use this plugin. So, thanks very much for that.

    The other thing is, I just installed it and I can’t get lighbox to fire on images. I’m quite certain my theme uses wp_head(), wp_footer(), and the_content().

    I chose to deactivate Jetpack’s Carousel functionality because lightbox, to me, provides a much more pleasant user experience.

    No, thank you for sticking with this the whole time.

    I’m concerned about changing the perms for the directory structure. I’ve never had any issues, and this plugin is the first that has not worked?

    Why would this be a permissions issue on my end? How is everything I currently have, working without any issues?

    Thank you again.

    It depends on your plugins. If you do not have any other plugins that need to read files (e.g. a layout file in SLB’s case), then you would likely not have encountered this issue previously.

    I’m quite certain one of these reads files:

    Akismet
    EWWW Image Optimizer
    Google XML Sitemaps
    iframe
    Jetpack by WordPress.com
    JM Twitter Cards
    Limit Login Attempts
    Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions
    Simple Lightbox
    TablePress
    Uji Countdown
    Use Google Libraries
    W3 Total Cache
    WordPress SEO

    It’s definitely possible, though the only one I can speak to is SLB.

    The 403 response code in the debug output confirms that the issue is related to the server’s configuration. SLB uses WordPress’ own wp_safe_remote_get(), so any other functionality that uses this function (include WordPress itself) will fail if the server configuration is blocking access to the file.

    My recommendation is to check your folder directories for any overly-aggressive directory/file permissions to determine whether that is the issue.

    If the permissions are not restricting access to SLB’s files, then the issue may be related to a lower-level configuration, which your website’s hosting provider may need to look into.
