Hey @beachholiday! 👋

Meow Lightbox is gallery-agnostic, so it does not behave differently depending on which gallery plugin you use, or even if you are not using a gallery at all.

The message “The image cannot be loaded” comes directly from PhotoSwipe, the engine behind the lightbox. This usually indicates that there is an issue with the image source itself. The source may be corrupted or inaccessible, which can sometimes happen because of CDN integrations, JavaScript optimizations, caching processes, or other third-party modifications. Without more details, it is difficult to determine the exact cause.

As for styling, Meow Lightbox does not currently support custom themes. If you would like to make customizations, you can inspect the theme files directly in the plugin folder under app/less/themes. This directory contains all the CSS files used by the current themes, allowing you to modify them directly or identify the classes being used for your own custom CSS.

Hey @vadimm5! 👋

Thank you for your patience!

The previous update added the i18n infrastructure. The upcoming update completes this work by adding JavaScript translation support, which is required for translating lightbox elements such as button labels, aria-labels, EXIF labels, and other interface strings.

Once the update is available, you will be able to:

• Create your translation using the meow-lightbox.pot file located in the languages folder (wp-content/plugins/meow-lightbox/languages).

• Submit your .po file to us, and we’ll generate the required JSON files and include your translation in future releases.

Alternatively, use the Loco Translate plugin, which should handle both the .po and JSON files automatically within WordPress.

We’d be happy to include community translations, so feel free to send us your .po file if you create one, which will help other users who speak the same language.

The update should also include support for common languages.

Hey @kaiyoma!

Thank you for your feedback! We will see what we can do to make the workflow feel more user friendly.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Hey @wickelwutz! 👋

The time format is based on your WordPress general settings. If it does not change after updating your site time format, it might be because the EXIF data is cached. In that case, simply go to the lightbox advanced settings and clear the cache.

Regarding the language, we are currently working on internationalization support. It should be available in a future update. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Hey @folgerj! 👋

This is expected behavior. It is used to dynamically fetch all the EXIF data from your media inside the lightbox.

If you enable caching in the settings, this route will only be called once per page and the results will then be cached, avoiding repeated requests to your server.

You can also completely disable Dynamic Fetch in the settings if:

• Your media are not loaded dynamically
• Or if you are using a compatible gallery such as Meow Gallery

Hey @boosterbast! 👋

While there is no out-of-the-box “update product fields” feature in the chatbot, this is something you can implement using function calling.

This allows you to declare a tool that your chatbot can call, for example an “update product” function, which can then modify product details in real time.

Hey @pierreraby! 👋

The animations are part of the Pro package, so it’s expected that they don’t work in the free version of the plugin.

We’ll make sure this is displayed more clearly in the settings, and we’ll also look into possibly adding some basic animation options to the free version.

Thanks!
