Simple lightbox doesn’t work

Simple Lightbox stopped working on my sight when I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress … dashboard shows this plugin as “not tested” with version 5.0.3

Simple Lightbox does works for me if remember to set each new WP Gallery link setting!

The default in WP 5 changed to “none” and to use Lightbox the value must be changed to “Media File” for each new gallery.

I am unable to change the default setting using instructions to set via the dashboard Settings –> Options image-link value: it makes no difference if set to “file” or “Media File” nothing changes).

Hi @hectorruiz, it appears that cURL is not enabled and/or properly configured for your site. Please see SLB’s documentation for more information on cURL support.

@sstowell: That unfortunately appears to be a bug in WordPress’ new block editor, which they’ll hopefully resolve soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed re: being able to set the image link default value!!!

@sstowell: Here’s the ticket for the Block editor’s link URL bug that you can subscribe to stay updated on its progress.

Actually I think links to this bug, (your link is to a possibly related bug dealing with thumbnails linking to the lower resolution files in the media library):

@sstowell: Right you are ??
