 * Hi, after upgrade WP my lightbox plugin stops working.
    I found some clues about
   the problem. On the wp-lightbox2.php file there is one function above:
 * `function wp_lightbox2_replace($string) {
    $pattern = '/(<a><img)/ie'; $replacement
   = '(strstr("25","rel=") ? "1" : "</a><a><img")'; return preg_replace($pattern,
   $replacement, $string); }"  It seems that this function looks for the string 
   href=” and img on the page and put the code rel=”lightbox” on it.
 * But on WP 2.1 the when i looked at the page code, i found links like: <img src
   =’http:/….>
    As far as i understood the functon looks for <img src=”[http://&#8230](http://&#8230);..
   > So the plugin looks for ” and wp 2.1 uses links with ‘ Can anyone give me a
   help tho solve this issue?

 * Hi, samboll.. I tried the 0.6 and the 0.63 without success.
    Every image that
   i upload to a post the image url goes like <img src=’[http://&#8230](http://&#8230);./
   file.jpg’> whith single cotes on the image url, if i manualy edit the tag changig
   the single for double cotes like <img src=”[http://&#8230](http://&#8230);./file.
   jpg”> makes the lightbox works fine.
 * I’ve just testes right now, created an test post uploaded an image and the url
   was created with single cotes.

 * in this case the plugin not works, bus if i manuly edit the url changing the 
   cotes it will work.
 * How to make the WordPress post using double cotes like in older versions?
