 * I have tried to cure this issue this with all the known fixes, but nothing seems
   to work for me. The gallery images just don’t want to open in a lightbox anymore.
   I’m not exactly sure when it started, but it was recent.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * [@thinmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinmann/) – I suspect this is
   a theme related issue, have you tried temporarily switching to a default WordPress
   Twenty series theme to see if the issue happens there?

 * I have the same issue. And theme change is not helping.
 * Also I don’t have the possibility to choose any lightbox effects anymore…they
   are all literally just blanks under the dropdown menu in gallery’s other options
   > Lightbox Effects. Have no idea where to start looking for the problem. Almost
   like all the effects had vanished from the plugin all of a sudden. I have NextGen
   v.2.0.66 and WP 3.9.1.
 * Any ideas where to start digging? Thanks!!

 * [@loisto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loisto/) – As you issue is drastically
   different than the OP your best best would be starting with your own topic as
   per the forum rules: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post)
 * It’s much easier to deal with individual issues than it is to deal with multiple
   disparate issues in the same topic thread.
 * Thanks!
