 * Is there some way to prevent Lightbox 2 from loading on a frontpage?
    I have 
   jCarousel Lite working on the frontpage and Lightbox 2 kills all functionality
   in the slideshow. What I don’t have on the frontpage is images in need of Lightbox.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Here is how I managed to solve this problem. Note that the example below only
   disables Lightbox on one post/page. To do so on multiple posts, you’ll have to
   mess around with the code a bit. Just replace “$pid = 240” with the post ID of
   your home page.
 * In functions.php in your active theme directory, add the following:
 *     ```
       // Remove lightbox action
       //wp_deregister_script('lightbox');
       function mytheme_remove_lightbox_js() {
         $pid = 240; // This is the post/page id you would like to disable lightbox on
         global $wp_query; // Call page query object
         if ($wp_query->post->ID == $pid) {
           // Remove lightbox scripts
           wp_deregister_script('lightbox');
           remove_action('wp_head', 'lightbox_styles');
         }
       }
       add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'mytheme_remove_lightbox_js', 100 );
       ```
