 * I didn’t create this tutorial, it was created by Philip Gledhill. It’s pretty
   comprehensive and and brilliant and I thought it might be useful to people having
   trouble understanding how to use the plugin.

 * Sadly, the developers rarely help on this forum. When I find a developer who 
   helps and actually responds, I immediately send him some money and let him or
   her know that I will be telling all my friends and everyone on every forum. And
   I do!!
 * THE SECOND that I find a replacement for Lightbox they will not see me for the
   smoke. Their help is nonexistent.

 * think I am missing the point… followed the video but the image is just shown 
   as a regular link to the image, no light box at all. Also could not find where
   lightbox settings are… baffled

 * I have a unique situation and am hoping someone can help. I need to launch several
   different sets of images from a single page. I need these to be on a link the“
   Click here to view…”. I am able to get the lightbox to open up, but it has all
   my images and not just the ones I want for that particular “click here”. Does
   any of this make any sense? What makes all of this so difficult is that I have
   to launch the lightbox from within an html field in a Gravity Forms form. I’ve
   been to [http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/](http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/),
   viewed the source of this page and tried my best to compare the source from his
   page to what’s in my wordpress site. To me, the differences in the css only look
   cosmetic, like different heights and widths and things like that. I compared 
   the js, but am not as adept at js as css. But, still doesn’t look all that different.
   I’ve added `<script type=”text/javascript”>
    $(document).ready(function(){ $(“.
   groupDesigns”).colorbox({rel:’groupDesigns’}); $(“.groupFont3”).colorbox({rel:’
   groupFont3′}); $(“.groupFontT”).colorbox({rel:’groupFontT’}); $(“.groupBreedLogos”).
   colorbox({rel:’groupBreedLogos’}); }); </script>` to the header and that made
   the lighbox work, but picks up all the images and not just the ones I want like
   in the example. URL to the site is [http://dancingbayembroidery.com/store/store/saddle-pads/roma-minquilt-dressage/](http://dancingbayembroidery.com/store/store/saddle-pads/roma-minquilt-dressage/)
   and to get to the area of the form, check Left (Mounting) side and then from 
   Type of Personalization, select either 3 Letter Monogram or Design.
 * Any ideas how to make this work. I know it’s possible because he does it on his
   example pages.

 * I found some great tutorials about Lightbox Plus on youtube. Search Philip Gledhill
   lightbox plus or go to [this link](http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lightbox+plus+gledhill&oq=lightbox+plus+gledhill&gs_l=youtube.12...105615.105615.0.107668.1.1.0.0.0.0.106.106.0j1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.up9HKOMcjyg).
   They are really good and easy to follow. Unfortunately, my situation is unique
   and though they helped me some, didn’t answer all my questions.
