[Plugin: Lightbox Gallery] plugin image icons absolute paths

  • hello, this plugin sets an absolute path to the images. But, if WordPress is installed in its own directly, the images break. The javascript works, but the paths to your images need to be fixed.

  • Hmm, I have ran into the same problem. How exactly did you fix this? I can’t seem to find where you change the path in the source code?

    I noticed the problem because I was developing offline using xampp. So I didn’t need to solve this for my live website. Three options for you:

    1) Edit the plugin. It should be easy to find the paths and fix them. Be aware that the next time you upgrade the plugin you will need to do this again.

    2) Add an entry to your .htaccess file to redirect things to the correct location. You’ll have to dig around to learn how.

    3) Get the plugin developer to fix this. It’s a simple mistake with a very easy fix. Or start a fork of the plugin and maintain it yourself!!

    Good luck…

    Thanks for the pointers! Much appreciated!

    The maintainer, Hiroaki Miyashita, can correct this by patching lightbox-gallery.php to always set the lightbox_path variable to the Site URL.

    To resolve this, I have removed the if statements around the code which defines this variable in the functions lightbox_gallery_print_path_header() & lightbox_gallery_print_path_footer() and have posted the patch to https://pastebin.com/uZzUtqv8.
