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:
- 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.
- In your admin options, deactivate the plugin then reactivate it.
- Go in the WP-prettyPhoto options and change the value of “autoplay”, you can change it back later.
- 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.

Still doesn’t work. I think I’ll go manually set it in the code.

Hmmm… I manually changed it in the code and confirmed that it’s set properly on the page… and WP-prettyPhoto still doesn’t work.
Well, thanks to both of you for your efforts. I wish I could get it to work.

I’ve tried this as well and it’s not working. Hope to see the issue worked out soon.

On a hunch, I went back, played some more with the solution and can confirm it works on 2.9.1.
I found the trick to be:
1. Install wp-prettyPhoto to WP’s plugin directory.
2. Activate it in WP’s Dashbaord.
3. Confirm a page/post with a link to an image is not launching wp-prettyPhoto.
4. Go back to WP’s Dashboard, to wp-prettyPhoto’s settings and select the following box: “True to Autoplay, False not to”
5. Go to the WP Dashboard Plugins area and deactivate wp-prettyPhoto.
6. Now enable it.
7. Do NOT change the “True to Autoplay, False not to” setting until a new version/fix comes along. If you do, like I did, you’ll have to deactivate the plugin and start from step 2 again.
*** It’s most important to follow steps 4,5, 6 exactly as I’ve described them (which is the downfall of the post above… it wasn’t exactly clear what to click, when).
Anyhoo, enjoy!

8. You will notice wp-prettyPhoto now works, because wp-prettyPhoto’s javascript settings will change from this:
“ autoplay: , ”
to this:
” autoplay: 1, “

I’ve tried this as well both ways checked… deactivate-activate and unchecked… deactivate-activate. Neither of these work for me. I’m using wpmu latest version for the record.

line 436 of wp-prettyphoto.php
autoplay: {$wppp_autoplay},
should be:
autoplay: ‘{$wppp_autoplay}’,
change that and you should be good to go!

I have a different problem – the images do not load completely. Have a look here for an example: http://weblang.pl/draft-page-2/
Any help would be appreciated. It’s a great plugin and it’s a real shame I can’t get it working

@ Andrew
Unfortunately for me this is still a no go…
Anticipating a fix =)

did the plugin work on the wp galleries images that link to the file?
it is not working now and i am not sure if this is going to be solved in a upcoming fix or it was never meant to do that.
it works if its a image inserted in a post just not on images inserted with the gallery function of wp.
thanks
