Lightbox doesn't work with wp galleries

shaynethiessen · September 2022

Look at this page for an example:

Galleries were inserted using the Wordpress block editor.

I tested a different lightbox plugin, they work fine with that, but not with the be-theme.

Here are the relevant settings.

Hello,

Please, turn off all of the plugins, refresh your cache, and check if the problem persists.

Moreover, if you use a child theme, switch to parent, and recheck it.

Thanks

That doesn't solve it. I took a look at the code and I found the problem.

In betheme/js/scripts.js, line 1135, has this line of code:

var link = $('.blocks-gallery-item a', el);

WP block editor inserts a class called .wp-block-image. So I updated that line to this:

var link = $('.wp-block-image a', el);

This fixes lightbox on the Wordpress galleries.

Can the code get updated? I don't want to have to change this every time betheme gets updated.

Thanks for checking it out, and pointing out where this issue lies.

I have passed this to the dev team, and we will add this in the next update.

After the latest update, lightbox is now broken again on Wordpress galleries.

Did you re-edit the scripts.js file with your change? Or you did do something else to fix that?

I have checked your website, and the lightbox is working correctly.

Best regards

PS.

Thanks for the reply. I had updated the script file again.

Phil · October 2022

We have checked that.

The fix will be included in the next update.
