 * Hi!
 * SLB seems to stop functioning if the Wordpres Jetpack plugin is enabled. I’m 
   trying to run it on my site [http://www.evanandrachel.com](http://www.evanandrachel.com).
 * It did not function at all after I installed it. I was going to deactivate it,
   then reactivate it and try again – but I accidentally deactivated Jetpack! Out
   of curiosity, I checked to see if the lightboxes were functioning after Jetpack
   was disabled (I had wondered if the Photon part of Jetpack was causing a problem)..
   and they were!
 * So, with Jetpack completely off, SLB functions correctly. With Jetpack activated,
   SLB doesn’t work at all. Unfortunately, I can’t see a way to disable just the
   Photon part of Jetpack to see if that’s indeed the culprit.
 * Any ideas? I love the simple look of the plugin when it’s working. Theme is Graphene.
 * **Edit! It seems to trigger the lightbox correctly if I link to the ‘media page’
   instead of the jpg directly! Even with Jetpack still activated. I’ll use it this
   way for now, but I’d like to know what the deal is with linking direct to jpgs!**

 * Hi, yes Photon modifies image links _after_ SLB activates them, breaking the 
   connection between SLB and the links.
 * See here for more information: [https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/issues/96](https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/issues/96)
 * Photon will be supported via an add-on: [https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/issues/33](https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/issues/33)
 * Here are instructions from Jetpack’s official documentation on disabling specific
   modules (such as Photon): [http://jetpack.me/support/activate-and-deactivate-modules/](http://jetpack.me/support/activate-and-deactivate-modules/)
