    I’m a big fan of responsive lightbox since it’s devoid of the “bloat” commonly associated with wordpress plugins.

    I updated recently and everything works well except I can’t give the “FancyBox” option a go. Looking at the front.js code, it seems there’s an “Uncaught Type Error” according to Chrome on line 36. Perhaps this could be the issue. I only use a social graph plugin beside this one and the other two script options work fine, so I don’t think it’s something on my end.

    Let me know what you all think. Thanks and keep it up.

    Can you post a link to your site? I think it might not be the FancyBox, but some script on your site that’s causing that.

    I have FancyBox enabled now. My custom scripts are embedded in the footer.

    Thank you for taking the time.

    I figured it out.

    According to this Stackoverflow article, FancyBox has an issue with newer versions of jQuery. I rolled back to version 1.8.3 to test and FancyBox works beautifully now. There’s also some code in that article to patch jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.js to work with newer versions of jQuery.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Jonathan, we did our own modification for FancyBox to make it work under recent versions of jQuery, and it worked in our tests.

    But htere’s something I see on your site:

    Error: TypeError: document.getElementById(…) is null

    Line: 2

    Are you deregistering the jquery version shipping with WP?

    I was deregistering WordPress’s jQuery and registering Google’s jQuery CDN instead, but now I’m letting wordpress use its own and everything’s working fine. Don’t quite understand why that was the issue. Thanks!
