I’m afraid I can’t help you much. But just in case you can’t get it to work, I use a different Lightbox plugin that can be found here: http://www.m3nt0r.de/blog/lightbox-wordpress-plugin/
It works really well for me. Plus it adds the rel=”lightbox” to images automatically.
You don’t need to put (e.g.) rel="lightbox[Spring Flowers]" in the <img> tag for the thumbnail, that’s just for the full-sized image.
Also, did you add the three Javascript files into your header and append the Lightbox CSS file to your stylesheet?

@jabecker: thank you, I may need to try this.
@breakingball: no, I didn’t do any of that…the readme didn’t include any of that info. Thanks…well, that seems to be my problem.
Thanks!
I also have a problem with lightbox and i’m wondering what Breakingball means by “the 3 javascript fils into your header” and “append the lightbox ccs”
does anybody know?
my website: http://www.eediete.nl/keuken
(I have downloaded and installed lightbox 2.02, version 0.6.3)
or what else to do?
Your problem is with this…
<!– Lightbox 0.6 Plugin: THERE WAS AN ERROR FINDING YOUR PLUGIN DIRECTORY –>
<!– I checked at: /home/httpd/vhosts/eediete.nl/httpdocs/keuken/httpdocs/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/ –>
<!– and also at: /home/httpd/vhosts/eediete.nl/httpdocs/keuken/httpdocs/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/ –>
<!– Go to ‘Administration > Options > General’ and try to fix the URL settings. –>
If you check your settings and are still having problems, let me know and we can set the path manually in the plugin itself.
Doeiii 🙂
Ha JamesICT,
Thank you for your quick reply, but i don’t understand what you’ve tried and what i should change.
The URL-settings i found are: http://www.eediete.nl/keuken
for both wordpress and my blog.
what next?

You have:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightbox2.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
This should be:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
You have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/js/effects.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightboxjs.php?path=http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/"></script>
This should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox/js/effects.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/wp-content/plugins/lightbox/js/lightbox.js"></script>
The Lightbox folder inside your plugins folder should be called “lightbox,” not “lightbox-plugin.”
Also, where you have:
<a href="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/pics/gebakken%20asperges.jpg"title="Caption on image" rel="lightbox[Name]" ><img title="gebakken asperges" alt="gebakken asperges" src="http://www.eediete.nl/keuken/pics/gebakken%20asperges.jpg" /></a>
you don’t need rel=”lightbox [name]” where [name] is only necessary for images in a gallery context. Also, the second part of the image tag above should contain a link to a thumbnail image.
