adding the_content to inline lightbox

For each of my blog posts, I am trying to click a link that opens the post’s content in the lightbox. Seems when I click the link, for all three blogs it displays only the first blog post’s content on each one. Is there a way I can adjust this?
```
<a class="lbp-inline-link-1" href="#">Lyrics</a>
<div style="display: none;">
<div id="lbp-inline-href-1" style="padding: 10px; background: #fff;">

<?php the_content(); ?>

</div>
</div>
```

try replacing the numbers in your loop with <?php the_ID(); ?>

But doing this you will need to estimate how many inline lightboxes you will need, and doing so will probably create a bunch of unnecessary, and unused code. If there is a better solution I would like to know it!
```
<a href="#">Lyrics</a>
<div style="display: none;">
<div id="lbp-inline-href-<?php the_ID(); ?>" style="padding: 10px; background: #fff;">

<?php the_content(); ?>

</div>
</div>
```

Thanks for the reply!
That didn’t work though 🙁
I guess because we need some code to automatically generate a 1, 2 and 3 in that spot

I am only showing 3 blog posts, so I would need it to somehow do that automatically. It has to be one of those augmented php scripts that is over my head.

Still hoping to find an answer!

what did it generate?

Mine generates the post ID and then it just links up with the inline ID. this is my full code: Depending where your using your php it may not work the same as mine.
```
<?php query_posts(array('paged' => get_query_var('page'),'posts_per_page' => 25, 'cat'      => 3,) ); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="#" class="lbp-inline-link-<?php the_ID(); ?>" >
<?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?>
<div>
</div>
</a>
<div style="display: none;">
<div id="lbp-inline-href-<?php the_ID(); ?>" style="padding:10px;">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
```

See I think the problem is, you have to set the number of inline lightboxes. The max is 100. So I set it to 100 and noticed that my post id is 403. So that won’t work right? if my post id was say 28, it would implement inline lightbox #28 that I have set?
Does this make sense? It is possible it may work for others. Is there a way for me to fix it still?

ok i just noticed you can set it to 1000 as the max number of inline lightboxes.

does yours work geblord? i am still getting the same content for all boxes, from post 1. i can’t get it to show each post’s content.

any clue what i’m missing??
thanks for your help!

If you are really desperate maybe use a plugin( http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/ ) to reveal the post id and then just rename the inline light boxes to your corresponding post IDs.

So for #inline-lightbox-1 you could just change your lbp-inline-link- and lbp-inline-href- to the number that matches your post ID. Not very efficient but could possibly work. that would be using my php id code.

that would possibly work, but wouldn’t be automatic so it would be no good for my use. but thanks for the tip
