Big Feature 1.3.5.2 + Wordpress 3: no lightbox-plugins work with gallery

Hi,

I nearly go mad ... I've tried now about 10 lightbox-plugins (Lightbox, Lightbox2, Lightbox plus, Slimbox, Highslide ...), but none of them causes the "lightbox effect" on the images in the BigFeature gallery like at your demo site.

Then I activated the standard theme "Twentyten" of Wordpress 3: now all lightbox plugins are working.

Where could the problem in BigFeature theme be, so that there are obviously conflicts with lightbox plugins?

I used wp-prettyphoto-plugin with your BigFeature theme version 1.3.5.1 and Wordpress 2.9.2 - that worked fine.

But using Big Feature 1.3.5.2 + Wordpress 3 let all lightbox plugins fail.

What can I do?

Tesed some lightbox plugins and all worked though. Deactivate all your plugins to see if there's a conflict..

Yes, that's the problem:

I have deactivated really all plugins instead of Nextgen-Gallery and "Lightbox2" (for example) or my favorite "wp-prettyphoto".

Then with Bigfeature the lightbox effect in my gallery page does not work.

Then I used the standard theme "twentyten" instead ... then the effect work.

I don't know ... perhaps the jquery, that bigfeature uses in the header ... can it cause a conflict with lightbox-plugins, that uses jquery, too?

I use the newest BFnav-childtheme ... may it be this?

Please let me know if you find one that works - looks like under WP3 NO lightbox will work with this theme.

I'm a pro photographer and this will waste my entire week when I should be out taking pictures.

I'm not sure what you guys are struggling with, but they all work for me, both in multisite and not. Here's proof (BigFeature 1.3.5.2 and WP3.0 multisite): Lightbox2, Shadowbox, Highslide, Slimbox.

I don't know, I haven't get a solution with the plugins.

I have now embedded this code from prettyphoto:

But attention: it is not a plugin (the plugin "wp-prettyphoto" does not work for me with WP 3 and BF 1.3.5.2, although it worked with WP 2.9.2 and older BF versions), but the code is very easy to put in the themes files ... and: it worked absolute perfect :-)

Here is, what to add exactly where:

http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/documentation/

The first part at "Script needed" has to be placed in the header.php of the bigfeature theme.

The second part at below this code has to be placed in the footer.php as mentioned there before the body end tag.

It works perfect at my site (WP 3.0, Bigfeature 1.3.5.2, BFNav 1.0.2) and this code looks very stylish for me in opposite to many other plugins I have tried:

Sorry for my bad English :-(
