# Plugin Activated, but Not Operating

 * I’m using a commercial theme w/ support for ShadowBox-JS. It works (ie. the ShadowBox
   gallery feature is operational), but I’d prefer js-ColorBox’ functionality. I
   deactivated ShadowBox-JS and its support. I installed js-ColorBox and activated,
   but there’s no joy. I enabled:
    - **Automate jQuery Colorbox for all images in pages, posts and galleries**
    - **Add Zoom overlay to pictures**
    - **Add Slideshow to groups**
    -  
       Click thumbnails on a listing page and they display, just not in a ColorBox.
      I have the HTML that’s emitted for that area, if it helps.
    - With ShadowBox, I had to add an attribute (rel=’shadowbox[gallery]‘) to the
      anchor tag in order for that plugin to “know” what to do, whereas I’m led 
      to believe the plugin just figures it all out on its own. I did add a rel=”
      gallery” attribute to the anchor tag and cboxGallery to the class attribute
      of the img tag:
    - `<img class="thumbs cboxElement"`
    - Anyway, I’m completely lost. js-ColorBox simply doesn’t like me….
    - BTW, here’s my site, just click on a Photo Gallery thumb:

 * We can scuttle this request, as I’ve switched to another plugin: LightBox Plus
   Colorbox: [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lightbox-plus](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lightbox-plus).
 * Ciao…
