I’ve been using this plug to create landing and squeeze pages because it works the best. It’s clean and it always works as apposed to other devoted pop-up plugins that always have something lacking or buggy.
But ran into the problem on some pages where Lightbox Plus Colorbox (LBP) just wouldn’t work.
After hours of troubleshooting, a last ditch test revealed the issue…
Since I have a JQuery library for handling landing pages for leaving, clicking, scrolling, etc.. Since I use LBP for pop-up forms for lead generation, I didn’t have a link to show the LBP pop-up on the page – just the jQuery triggers. As a final test I put a link to show the pop-up and everything magically works!
So the moral to the story, if LightBox Plus isn’t working with your custom jQuery, you need add a link reference on the page so it will attach the event handlers. Just a small hidden link like this somewhere on the page:
<a class="lbp-inline-link-1" href="#">.</a>
That was easy!

Having been working with WordPress for sometime and experimenting with cache solutions a while ago. We decided to revisit what solutions were available to speed up some heavy themed WordPress websites and find the best WordPress cache plugin for our purposes. The two big contenders are WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache, so naturally we wanted to play with them first. Unfortunately, it was met with dire results. After activating each plugin (independently) and loading the website in an incognito window to make sure there was no existing cache contamination, each plug-in resulted in a Server Error 500 error. That’s not a good sign. We were able to get W3 Total Cache to work by disabling the Page Cache, but what good is that? After spending more time than what it should take to try and figure out what was causing the error, we came across another plugin that was being mentioned more often. …
