  1. Bonjour,
    J’ai elementor pro, et j’ai bien activé la lightbox.
    Malgré tout elle ne se déclenche pas au clic!
    Est-ce que le thème peut parasiter elementor?

    1. It depends, but I don’t think the theme can block a popup. First you need to check if you encounter any JS error on the page where the popup is loaded

  2. Wiesz może dlaczego Lightbox wyświetla u mnie podpisy pod zdjęciami w lewym dolnym rogu? Nie mogę tego zmienić w żaden sposób
