WordPress 2.9x Compatibility Issue

Short URL for this post: http://plp.me/9XWpnt

There is a known bug in the latest version of WP-prettyPhoto that basically prevents it to work as intended. While you wait for an official fix, which will come soon, here is what you can do to make it work:

1. First, identify the problem. Look at the source code of your page, within the prettyPhoto javascript stub, there is a value called "autoplay". If that is not set to true or false, you have the bug.
2. In your admin options, deactivate the plugin then reactivate it.
3. Go in the WP-prettyPhoto options and change the value of "autoplay", you can change it back later.
4. Look at your source again, "autoplay" should be set and your pictures/videos should pop up nicely.

Thanks to Brad Keeling who reported the bug to me (as opposed to bitching on twelve different forums) and confirmed the fix.
