# [Plugin: FancyBox for WordPress] How does it work?

 * I just installed this plugin and was wondering how to get ti to work. For example,
   I have an image linked to a couple words in a sentence that used to open a pop
   up of that image with FancyZoom, but it doesn’t work with FancyBox.
 * You can see what I mean on this page [here](http://dougdraws.com/brush-with-death/).
   The words “woman’s eye” in the paragraph has a link wrapped around it to the 
   image of the ‘women’s eye’ on my server. When I was using FancyZoom clicking 
   on this link would open a pop up of the image. I was assuming that FancyBox operated
   the same way.
 * Perhaps I’m not understanding how this plugin works? Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * Ah, nevermind, I just read this on the developer’s site: “The FancyBox effect
   won’t be applied to text link though, only images linking to images.”
 * Bummer. Well, back to the search…

 * Well, after much deliberation I decided I had to have this plugin. So I changed
   my plan and made a page for my personal work using FancyBox. I like it so much
   that I even provided a link back (to your home page). You can check out my new
   personal work page [here](http://dougdraws.com/personal-work/).
 * Awesome work. Thanks, Jose 🙂
