So this is working for me on a gallery page, but on the “Media Grid” element it does not work. Any ideas?

If you look at my other comment above, I did get it to work when I toggled these two options: “Force gallery lightbox: Try to force lightbox for custom WP gallery replacements, like Jetpack tiled galleries.” and “Custom events: Enable triggering lightbox on custom jQuery events.”

Here is the website I was working on: http://www.jeffriesart.com Click on Galleries.

Hope that helps.

The latest version of RL (1.7 as of today) has a setting to attempt to force RL to override prettyPhoto for pages built with VC. The RL support people say to check the Force box (“Luke, use the force”) and it will work. But it doesn’t. I struggled with this (being a newbie) for a couple of days until I found this page and set the selector to prettyPhoto so RL can grab the call to pp and take over. No need to edit your functions.php file at all.
So the answer to this (for me, so far) is this:
1) Responsive Lightbox settings and enable Force lightbox option.
2) Set “selector” to “prettyPhoto”.
And Bob’s your uncle.
PS: As near as I can figure, nobody likes prettyPhoto.

Thanks so much for this! I’ve been meaning to address prettyPhoto and this was a lot easier than I expected.

I figured out a way to get it to work with Visual Composer version 5.1:
STEP0: Do what the article above says
STEP1: Connect to your FTP via Filezilla or other app of that kind,
STEP2: Download and extract the archive: http://www84.zippyshare.com/v/vRCOfF3W/file.html

STEP3: Place folder “plugins” from the archive within “wp_content” folder on your FTP, it will overwrite one Visual Composer file to enable usage of Responsive Lightbox.
STEP4: Let me know if it worked for you too.

My Responsive Lightbox General Settings include:
– all checkboxes checked (excluding last 2),
– setting loading place to ‘footer’
