# Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(…).lightbox is not a function

 * I’ve been getting a javascript error with huge it lightbox for some time, but
   only just got round to looking into it.
 * First thing I noticed that my installed version was ‘10.0’. Looking at the change
   log, I saw the latest change was 1.6.8, so I changed the value to that and (of
   course) it immediately said an update was available.
 * Thinking that may solve my problem, I immediately updated to version ‘2.1.0’.
 * Refreshed my page, opened the chrome developer console and unfortunately a new
   javascript error persists:
 *     ```
       Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(...).lightbox is not a function
           at custom.js?ver=1.0:141
           at dispatch (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:3)
           at r.handle (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:3)
       (anonymous) @ custom.js?ver=1.0:141
       dispatch @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:3
       r.handle @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:3
       ```
   
 * I believe the “Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(…).lightbox is not a function” error
   is referring to: wp-content/plugins/lightbox/js/frontend/custom.js
 * Any ideas?

 * Commenting out “jQuery(‘.responsive_lightbox’).lightbox();” from wp-content/plugins/
   lightbox/js/frontend/custom.js removes the error, but I think it’s probably needed…?
