Title: Issue when no lightbox plugin selected Last modified: January 24, 2019 --- # Issue when no lightbox plugin selected * [jurij_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurij_c/) * (@jurij_c) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/) * Hello, * I have noticed issue: * I am using already magnific on website, so I don’t need it extra and select none in settings. I want to show pictures from album. * But plugin outputs a link ahref [https://photos.google.com/lr/album/ALs5n1kwXP7MDwMfkA2XHyI2YydRx9Ee9tCPZw0IXpCE9b3a6MZZwJoZSHJL4Pe0e4BwgZ32_ES9/photo/ALs5n1mnDv6K3TLDGOcNF1UZp993vsdnA4ZFKvjWFTRGtAd3G_HIxpR2IVSCkZ4O709T0x-SU2oPK5fS-Uwg21Y1YOtK3EQWNA](https://photos.google.com/lr/album/ALs5n1kwXP7MDwMfkA2XHyI2YydRx9Ee9tCPZw0IXpCE9b3a6MZZwJoZSHJL4Pe0e4BwgZ32_ES9/photo/ALs5n1mnDv6K3TLDGOcNF1UZp993vsdnA4ZFKvjWFTRGtAd3G_HIxpR2IVSCkZ4O709T0x-SU2oPK5fS-Uwg21Y1YOtK3EQWNA) naturally this link doesn’t work (says you don’t have permission to access) Thumbnails are loaded fine and have different workable link. * When I select in options to add lightbox code in settings, it works fine. It ads good link to ahref. I’m using gutenberg if that changes something. - This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [jurij_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurij_c/).

That way you would only require one plugin, not two. * Also, is your Magnific plugin trying to open this URL in a lightbox? If the other plugin is trying to open this in a lightbox then there is no way you can make this work, even if I give you code to take out the URL – basically when you click on an album thumbnail using Photonic, Photonic automatically pulls all the photos in the album and displays them. If the other plugin cannot do this, you will not be able to see your photos. * To summarize, there are two types of JS actions in Photonic: 1. The first is to show a lightbox on images on pages … 2. … But the second filters out specific types of elements (like album thumbnails) and does additional processing for them * If the other plugin is adding a lightbox link to an album thumbnail, you will never be able to do point #2 above. So that would be an issue with the other plugin, not Photonic. Can you filter out specific CSS classes with the other plugin (so that they don’t get the Magnific popup)? If yes, then you can add the filter for the class on the album thumbnail (all albums get a CSS class ` photonic-level-2-thumb`), and those will not be associated with the Magnific plugin and you don’t need to do anything for Photonic either. * Thread Starter [jurij_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurij_c/) * (@jurij_c) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11129884) * 1) I’m not using any lightbox from option, because I have already optimized solution for the whole site. No need to rely on inclusion from plugin. 2) No there are no other plugin interfering. 3) I did’t get into the code, but it was obvious that when “none” option is selected it generates wrong code for gallery, a hrefs are wrong. When switched to “Magnific”, it worked. So obviously none option is with problem * 4) There is no problem with js, only html code that is outputted is wrong. The value of a href is wrong, img is alright. I turned off js execution, and html output is still wrong. * I hope you see what I mean. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11130379) * > 3) I did’t get into the code, but it was obvious that when “none” option is > selected it generates wrong code for gallery, a hrefs are wrong. When switched > to “Magnific”, it worked. So obviously none option is with problem * The only difference between “none” and a lightbox is that Photonic adds some additional CSS classes for a lightbox. There is no difference in the rest of the markup. The href is the same in both cases. * If you are seeing a different href in each case, can you provide me with the ` a` tag data in both the cases, one with “none” and one with “Magnific”? Please provide the whole structure of one `a` tag, including the nested `img` tag. * It would also help if you can provide me with a URL. As far as I can see in the code there is no difference in the href attributes in both cases, but I may be wrong. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11131205) * My previous response was typed from my phone, so I couldn’t give you some more information. * If you still feel that different markup is being generated in the `none` vs. ` magnific` cases (or that the markup for `none` is incorrect), you can try changing one particular line of code: - Go to wp-content/plugins/photonic/extensions/Photonic_Google_Photos_Processor. php, [line 541](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/photonic/trunk/extensions/Photonic_Google_Photos_Processor.php#L541). You should see this: `$object['main_page'] = $album->productUrl;` - Change it to: `$object['main_page'] = '#';` - Save the file * If my understanding is correct, this is not going to help you in any way with your current setup. True, you are not going to go to an invalid URL … but you are also not going to see any photos in the album if you do this. See the demo page for the [default behaviour by clicking on one of the album thumbnails](https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/google-photos/albums/#all-albums). The photos in the album either open up in a lightbox directly, or an overlaid popup shows up with the photos, which you can click to open the lightbox (see the last example on the demo page). Hence my comment about your other plugin interfering with this behaviour. * If, however, with this clicking on an album thumbnail shows you all the photos within an album, can you share the link of your page with me? I would like to investigate what is happening. - This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/). * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11144570) * Hi – following up here. Did you need more inputs for this? Did changing the URL help? * Thread Starter [jurij_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurij_c/) * (@jurij_c) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11152524) * Hi, sorry for late answer. * Change to ‘#’ didn’t make any change. * To compare: markup (first picture, not full markup) for none: * ```

If you don’t want to use the lightbox bundled with photonic, you have to specifically exclude the album thumbnails from your own lightbox code. * This is really a problem with your other plugin, but I can help you with that. You will have to tell me what code is being used to trigger the lightbox with your other plugin and I can tell you how to modify it. * Thread Starter [jurij_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurij_c/) * (@jurij_c) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11161429) * Hello, the markup is different. `` * `` * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-when-no-lightbox-plugin-selected/#post-11163753) * Please provide me with a URL so that I may investigate.
