   I noticed in all the demos that images when clicked open in a light box. I just purchased my theme and can't seem to get any of the images to open in a light box. My image(s)when clicked open to a separate page. How can I make them open to a light box and does this work for multiple images per post or page?

   Thank you.

   Hello,

   I guess you are inserting your images using the Wordpress built-in media manager, right? If you want them to open in a lightbox, you have to use the "Fancy Images" shortcode provided by the theme.

   You can learn how to use the shortcode in this guide: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Fancy_Images

   Thank you for your reply. I was using the built -in media manager you are correct. I just tried your short code. There was an option for the image size. It says to leave black if you don't want your images to be re-sized. I tried with one image and multiple images and they all show in a preview thumbnail and not the full size as the directions suggest. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want thumbnails, I want full images, but when clicked the images load in a light box not a separate page.

   In an article smaller images would be ok, but still not a thumbnail. Please advise.

   Hi,

   In this case, I would suggest you to manually enter the image dimensions in your shortcode. The theme might be resizing your images to a default value.

   Try that and let us know the results.
