Light Box not working and Lock ups

[Brian Lambert]

Dear Webbuilder,

My club's web sites most recent Blog pages are formed using "Layout Grid" with each years Blog having a separate grid for each month. Each month has each weeks text and associated images inserted in date order. All was fine with Blog 2021, but Blog 2022 has a problem using the update V17.1.3
Images are uploaded using Picture Gallery then I use options... Gallery Mode = Light Box Gallery and Type = prettyPhoto. When viewed, the Blog 2021 images all load as expected and you can view them all as per the gallery. But the Blog 2022 images, which I'm sure have exactly the same settings, can only be viewed singerly? Is there something I've missed or has the Pretty Photo option been turned off in the last update?

Hope this link to a Demo upload works? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RAEPat ... sp=sharing


Also something else I hope you can advise me on which is driving me mad.... is the continual locking up of Webbuilder on my desktop PC. I continually get "Not Responding" errors
My PC is running Windows 10 and has 8Gb of RAM and has a Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400T CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz Storage is shown as 65.7 Gb free. Its only Webbuilder that locks up all other programmes run fine?
Lockup images....



Thank you for your anticipated assistance.

prettyPhoto is an old (third party) script so it may not be compatible with thee latest jQuery.
You can select an older version of jQuery in the page properites.

Maybe you have enabled auto backup? This may take some time if you have a larger project.
Tools -> Options -> backup.

Spot on Sir on both accounts!

JQuery was at latest version for Blog 2022 but set to 1.12.4 for Blog 2021. Set page Blog 2022 to 1.12.4 and it now loads as all previous pages. Is there a replacement for LightBox/prettyPhoto?

Auto Backup set for every 5 minutes Now set for 30 minutes

Thank you so much for you help. Its really appreciated.
BTW wonder why latest version of JQuery (showed version 3.6.0) isn't backwardly compatible with older versions? I see this latest version was part of the V17.1.2 upgrade package. Hence the problem occurred when opening a new page for 2022.

There are many alternative lightbox scrips available:

jQuery is a third party script library. https://jquery.com/
Unfortunately it is not always backwards compatible. This is unrelated to WWB.
