I have the exact same issue with the swipebox option where the image doesn’t display and the UI for closing the lightbox seems inoperable. I was able to narrow down some things for everyone.
In my case, it does seem to be a conflict with one of my plugins. Here is the info:
– When currencyr plugin is activated, Swipebox shows the symptoms mentioned above.
– When reviewing the DOM, I did notice that the element “swipebox-overlay” is being injected into the DOM twice. This doesn’t happen when the currencyr plugin is deactived.
– The second swipebox-overlay DOM element is empty which would explain why swipebox appears empty
I didn’t get a chance to go through the javascript just yet, but it does sound like currencyr is triggering swipebox, possibly through a double bind, to run twice and inserting a second empty lightbox.
