 * I installed the plugin and no matter what settings I use, the plugin has no affect
   at all.
 * Lightbox Plus Colorbox works just fine, but it is not responsive so I am looking
   for alternatives. I disabled LPC before activating Responsive Lightbox.

 * You probalby have JS errors on your site or your theme is using it’s own solutions
   for image display (that have nothing todo with WordPrass native functions.)
 * Please post a link to your site.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your reply. At the moment my test site is on a server only available
   on my local network.
 * How can I troubleshoot this further?

 * I am using Genesis with Dynamik child theme… However I also switched to Twenty
   Fourteen and Responsive Lightbox still does nothing. So it is not the theme.

 * Okay… It is not a plugin issue as such
 * I used Types to create a repeating custom field for images that attach to a post.
   CRED for a front end form for users to upload posts with images via that custom
   field. Views to display the content.
 * If I make a test and insert 2 images into a post in the back-end, then Responsive
   Lightbox works with them.
 * Any suggestion how to make Responsive Lightbox work with my setup?

 * Okay… after further experimentation, I figured out that adding rel=”lightbox”
   to all images when they are displayed makes Responsive Lightbox function. Here
   are my findings.
 * prettyPhoto doesn’t work correctly. It does not treat all the images on the post
   as a group so if I click on an image, it opens in the lightbox but there is no
   navigation to the other images. Each image is separate.
 * SwipeBox works correctly.
 * FancyBox also works correctly.
 * Nivo Lightbox also does not work correctly. It does the same thing as prettyPhoto.
   Each image is separate.

 * Use rel=”lightbox[gallery-1]” for a gallery. If you need more galleries in a 
   page assign rel=”lightbox[gallery-2]” and so on for each set of images.

 * Okay, now prettyPhoto works by adding rel=”lightbox[gallery-1]”
 * Nivo Lightbox still does not make a gallery.
 * Also, when prettyPhoto is active for a small phone sized screen, the images are
   really tiny and do not fill the screen

 * From what we tested Nivo lightbox creates a gallery as intended.
 * If you’re not satisfied with prettyphoto display on mobile just use some basic
   CSS to modify the display or search the forums for a code snippet.

 * I am having a similar issue. Everything was working fine, after I assigned the
   correct `rel` to the Responsive Lightbox Plug-in prettyPhoto, yet it is not working
   properly.
 * Do you have any recommendations?
 * I have already tried updating the plugin and deactivating it, etc.
 * Please see the following for an example [http://www.ascentcontemporary.com/browse-artworks/wasted-youth/](http://www.ascentcontemporary.com/browse-artworks/wasted-youth/)
 * Many thanks!

 * [@ascent_ascent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascent_ascent/) there are
   multiple Javascript errors on your site. Fix that and the plugin will work as
   intended.
