 * So I am trying to set up a gallery with a decent lightbox plugin.. I’ve tried
   several of them, but none of them is working.. Even though I follow the documentation
   and setup, it still shows the images just as before – single, plain ugly images.

 * Is there something I have badly configured in my WP settings? I have no idea 
   where to go from here.. Any ideas / suggestions ? Thank you.
 * //edit: just tedted, on my other WP site it works ok. Now I don’t know if it’s
   the WP version issue (the other site is different version of WP, or perhaps the
   custom theme?

 * Try it on a default theme – that should answer the question.

 * ok, so as I was expecting, it is the theme..
    It works on the default one. (and
   I’ve spent an hour going through all the plugins, wondering why they don’t work).
 * Is there a specific file that needs to be included in the theme that is required
   for certain plugins to work ?
