 * I’m having a problem with the gallery. The hover effect (zoom in or zoom out)
   isn’t working, even though I’ve selected it. Everything else (including the lightbox)
   is working fine. What could be the problem?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhover-effect-missing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey [@spontis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spontis/)! 👋
 * Looking at your page content, it seems the img elements from the gallery have
   had their “hover” styling _stripped_. So I wouldn’t be surprised if not only 
   the zoom-in or zoom-out effects aren’t working, but possibly none of the intended
   animations are.
 * This behavior likely stems from a third-party plugin — possibly related to image
   optimization or caching — that dynamically processes media and inadvertently 
   removes essential data required for styling to function properly.
 * Hope this helps!

 * I apologize for bothering you again. I do not have an image optimization plugin
   or a caching plugin activated. As a test, I disabled a number of other plugins,
   but this did not have any effect. Surprisingly, the caption effect (caption on
   hover) from the meow gallery plugin works perfectly. If your assumption is correct,
   shouldn’t that be missing as well?
 * Update: I transferred everything to a staging environment, deactivated all plugins(
   except the Meow plugins), and installed a standard theme. The plugin’s hover 
   effects still don’t work.
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * Hi,
 * I’ve got the exact same problem. None of the hover effects are working, also 
   in a vanilla environment.
