 * I tried to follow all the steps, it’s so hard to understand and i am a webdesigner.
   After finally figuring out what i am meant to do, i clicked on the image – and…
   no lightbox.

 * And you’re not making any easy to help you out… can you provide a sample link
   from your page for me to test? What browser and operating system are you using?

 * Hi, the plugin is not working on my site either, but I’m really not that experienced
   in these things so I might be missing something 🙁 Would you mind taking a look?
   My site is [http://www.mineobjetos.com.ar](http://www.mineobjetos.com.ar)
    I 
   have the recent posts on my front page, I click on any of them, then click on
   the image, and it just opens like a regular link instead of popping up in a box.
   Coult it be because they’re Featured Images instead of regular images? Thank 
   you in advanced!

 * In order to get the lightbox effect to work, you have to add:
 * `rel="lightbox"`
 * to the anchor element which refers to the larger image.
 * Peace…
