• I recently restored my clients website after being hacked, and now the Lightbox 2 feature for the images isn’t working correctly. However, upon doing several tests the plugin seems to be working correctly, it’s the image link paths that are causing problems.

    After the attack, I did a clean install of WP and reconnected to my original database.

    Originally I installed and used Lightbox-2 plugin
    https://stimuli.ca/lightbox/

    It didn’t work at all after the new install, so I installed a different a different plugin
    WP Lightbox-2
    https://onlinewebapplication.com/wp-lightbox-2/

    Lightbox 2 is set to “Auto-lightbox image links,” meaning it should be used whenever there is an image link.

    When I inspected an example Post, the images link to a Media page, ex:”/2013/04/27/stroll/stroll/”
    instead of the actual media location ex: “/uploads/2013/03/Sunday_Polo-600×580.jpg”

    Is there a way I can bulk update these image Link URL’s to the image path?

    Also, Permalinks were set to Day and Name. Ideally I would like to switch to Post Name as it’s a bit more SEO-friendly, but doing so currently “breaks” the image links (it’s not updating the path to the image as above, it’s using the original Day/Name format)

    thanks for your help
