 * When using the lightbox, I like to have a thumbnail image that links to the image
   in the lightbox, which works fine. However, if the link in the thumbnail is an
   https:// link, it does not work. I have to make sure my links are http:// instead,
   which is less secure (but probably not the biggest issue). This shouldn’t have
   been a problem.

 * Nevermind. This was an issue with how I had the links set up.
 * If you’re having this issue, remove the root directory link and just have the
   root directory path for the link:
    [https://www.exampleurl.com/wp-content/uploads/whatever](https://www.exampleurl.com/wp-content/uploads/whatever)
   vs. /wp-content/uploads/whatever
