 * Hi, it appears that the theme may be set to refresh the page when the browser’s
   history state is changed. SLB enables navigation through previously-viewed images
   with the browser’s back button which makes use of the browser’s history state.
 * Please test SLB on your site with one of WordPress’ default themes to confirm
   whether the issue is specific to the theme you are using. If the issues is isolated
   to that theme, I would recommend contacting the theme’s developers for support
   on their theme. If the issue is still present when using a default theme, please
   let me know so that I can evaluate the site with a default theme activated.
