When i pasted a link of a photo in a post, the photo was added and it could open if clicked in a lightbox pop-up.
Now, it doesn't open any more. After the last update (or updates, not sure when it broke).
Anyone knows why ? I have tried a second plugin for lightbox and also it doesn't work.
Ok, pasting a url it is immediately converted and an image is inserted in the post and ANY lightbox doesn't work.
Example:
If you paste the link and then CTRL+Z the image is gone and the url stays and everything works. Example:
So the question is why wpForo coverts the link ?
Hi Anonymous20,
Please note, that this is not converted by wpForo. This is automatically converted by TinyMCE, this was added in recent updates of WordPress. wpForo has no any relation to this change. please read this post:
Thanks Robert, i wasn't aware of that change. d**n Wordpress devs, sometimes they change things without actually understanding the impact.
Since this is crucial to me, i did some tests. The SAME code in Wordpress POST and in a wpForo post behaves differently.
In Wordpress the image link stays a link while in wpForo IS converted as inline images. So wp Foro does something after all.
