    I have seen a post where you are recommending photo-gallery plugin for galleries, but its free version does not suffice my needs.

    I am using 2 plugging “jQuery Masonry Image Gallery” and “simple lightbox” for my needs.

    But oneTone does not display the slideshow feature of “simple lightbox”. When clicked on an image it displays just that image and does not display the next and previous buttons.

    If I change the theme to any other theme other than oneTone everything works fine, so it seems like oneTone specific issue. Can you please fix it?

    Never mind, I found a very good plugin “simple lightbox gallery”. Free, has masonry layout, very easy to use and update the galleries, simple lightbox. Thanks.

    Hi, author of Simple Lightbox here. It looks like the Onetone theme loads its own copy of PrettyPhoto, a different lightbox script which overrides other lightboxes. Removing this would allow other lightbox plugins (including Simple Lightbox) to function properly.

    Unfortunately, the theme does not appear to provide an option to do this from the admin settings. Manually editing the theme to remove PrettyPhoto is also not ideal because you’ll need to make sure you remove all references in multiple files to prevent new issues from occurring and any changes will be overwritten by any future theme updates anyway.

    Also, OneTone appears to be using an outdated version of PrettyPhoto (v3.1.5 – 3+ years old) that may put your site at risk to XSS attacks. As a result, switching to another theme is recommended at least until this issue is resolved.
