Problem with Wordpress plugin anyone have any solutions??

Hi,

I just installed the wordpress plugin and I'm experiencing the following problem. When I set the captions to display and the link destination is set on Lightbox (so that it loads in the same window superimposed) when ever someone clicks on a thumbnail, the same caption that is written under the photo suddenly appears above the logo of my blog and stays there even after I close the picture.

You can see what I'm talking about here:

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm on a mac and this seems to be a problem with both Firefox and Safari...

Great plugin, this kind of ruins it though. Thanks

Hey Chaim,

I'm not all that familiar with wordpress but I think the problem is that you have an html element with the id=caption in your header box..and my guess is that the lightbox script that is being used is just blindly writing the caption of each photo into an element with the id="caption"

check out the links below to see what I am talking about...

So by changing ...


<div id="caption">
<h1 id="title"><a href="http://www.lifeinrostov.com/">Life in Rostov - Serving the Jewish Community in Rostov-on-Don</a></h1>
<div id="tagline">From Sunny California to Snowy Rostov - American Couple Serving the Jews of Rostov-on-Don</div>
</div>

to something like...


<div id="header-caption">
<h1 id="title"><a href="http://www.lifeinrostov.com/">Life in Rostov - Serving the Jewish Community in Rostov-on-Don</a></h1>
<div id="tagline">From Sunny California to Snowy Rostov - American Couple Serving the Jews of Rostov-on-Don</div>
</div>


Hope this helps.

Cheers,

David

Hi David,

Thanks so much for your help, greatly appreciated... Seems like the problem is indeed the caption attribute.. The problem is when I go into the header.php file and change that to header-caption or something like that I get the navigation bar in the wrong place:

Any other ideas? Would it be easier to change the attribute within the WP plugin perhaps?

Thanks again, and great pictures on your site BTW...
