Scrolly thing works, lightbox is deactivated
features gallery
The scrolly thing is actually called the features gallery, which is very cool but unfortunately there’s a conflict with the javascript for lightbox, so for the time being the lightbox feature has been deactivated.
Remember how not so long ago we had to do custom fields in order to show thumbnail images on the first page?
The features gallery chooses images from a set category or tag (so fill in those relevant tags guys!) And we choose which category or tag will be featured– so you have to be ready and do a custom field so that your image (and post) will show up in all it’s glory on the home page of MMM.
Go to your post in edit mode, open your gallery (by clicking on the “Add an image” button next to the words “Upload/Insert”, and going to the gallery tab.) Choose the photo most representative of your post, copy the file path, and close the gallery box (no need to save your changes yet.)
Scroll down to where we add our custom field and choose “Feature Image” from the drop down menu, in the value field paste your file path, and then click the “Add custom field” button, save the changes to your post (”update post” button to the right of the text editor.)
And that is all you need to do.
Remember, all this may seem a little confusing to you now, but after a few posts it’ll be second nature.
