 * Hi everyone,
 * I’ve been working on a website for my girlfriend for a few months on and off 
   now.
 * I am trying to implement a photo gallery with lightboxes…but no matter which 
   plugin I use, JQuery, JavaScript or HTML none of the lightboxes will work! As
   you can see by going to the link – when you click on one of the images to display
   what should be the lightbox, it instead opens the actual image URL which is not
   what I want.
 * I have tried using several galleries Envira and others as well as pure code galleries.
 * I have also tried going into the editor and Ctrl+Fing all the files for the word“
   gallery” and disabling any gallery elements but even this hasn’t helped.
 * I think that something must be overriding the lightbox somehow?
 * Any help would be appreciated! This is getting really frustrating.
 * Cheers guys.

 * First, disable all plugins except 1 gallery plugin and see if that works. If 
   not, then activate the 2017 theme and see if it works.
 * Also, you should try Jetpack. It has the ability to create the type of gallery
   you have; activate Carousel and Tiled Gallery.
