Simple lightbox doesn't work with new posts.

I am having the same issue.
I upgraded to WP 4.4 and Simple Lightbox stopped working on all new posts following upgrade. It still works on posts created prior to upgrade to WP 4.4.

My site is https://www.thebeardenpack.com/ if that makes a difference to detect issues.

Solution: I had the same problem. It’s because of the new update. It’s simple though. The new photos are not being automatically linked to the media file. So after adding the image, click on it and click the edit pen icon. On the left side, where it says “link to” select the drop down and link to “media file”. Voila.

Thanks, that is a temporary solution that I can work with. I appreciate it. When I do it though, it resets my original sizing of the imaging. So I have to go back and re-enter those numbers, but at least it works.

Yeah – I had the same issue. There’s probably a universal settings fix for this but I’m not sure where. The owner of this plugin will probably know.

@booka800 Thank you for the workaround. ??
I was able to go back and manually update my posts. Hopefully, this is a setting that can be fixed in an update by the plugin owner.

Hi, image linking is a function of WordPress itself. If you have not set a link when inserting an image from the media library, there is nothing for visitors to click on to launch the lightbox.
