# [Plugin: FancyBox for WordPress] Plugin not working

 * After installing the plugin and trying to get it to work, I can’t seem to get
   the gallery to work as a lightbox, the images on click go to a page with just
   the photo itself on it.
 * Even though I am using this:
    [gallery link="file" columns="4"]
 * I have jquery installed in my wordpress, and deactivated all other plugins. Still
   nothing.

 * meganlee1984,
 * Your question was posted a month ago, but just in case you never got it working…
   
   If you edit your gallery in the Visual tab of the Post Editor, there is an option:
   Link thumbnails to: __ Image File __ Attachment Page
 * If you link thumbnails to Attachment Page (the default), the images on click 
   go to a page with just the photo itself on it.
 * If you link thumbnails to Image File, the lightbox JavaScript takes over.
