Thanks for the kind review. I appreciate it. I should have an update out soon to address some issues with PHP4 and a few other minor items.

Hey Jimmy,

I've encountered this problem a few times and I tinkered around to get it working in my settings. Make sure you refresh after saving the settings. Or even clear your browser cache before reloading the gallery page. Be sure that you do not have any old conflicting lightbox plugins installed. That would be the best advice I could give you at the moment until I get a chance to mess around in the settings. When I do have a solid solution I'll be sure to post it back on here.

I'm not currently running my portfolio as a gallery. Each individual image is placed separately, which isn't the best practice. I'm actually about to renovate the entire site to keep it more clean.

Additionally – I just looked under the mrfloydcounty website to see how put in the images there. That site is using a gallery within a post.

-Use For WP Gallery: Checked
-Linking Thumbnails to: Image File

Did you try the Support Forum(http://www.23systems.net/bbpress/) at 23Systems? I'm sure its a common problem.

Hi!

Your gallery is working fine but when i use it on my own theme its not working. I changed it to link=”file and checked Use For WP Gallery box under Other Lightbox Plus Settings. But when i click on a image it just pops up in a new window? Do you know what could be the issue?
