I think between the image resizer and Smushit I'll be able to make the images load faster. Thank you and James for all your help again.

Tools like <a href="http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/light-image-resizer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/light-image-resizer/</a> help you to batch resize or adjust the quality. I'd suggest up to 1000px width - everything else can cause problems (I'd even recommend 800px only...) pom99 on "How to get Lightbox to display Images in Sidebar Gallery" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-get-lightbox-to-display-images-in-sidebar-gallery#post-18362 Tue, 03 May 2011 20:21:51 +0000 pom99 18362@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi Dude, That did it! Although I must say I I can't believe it was that simple, hahaha. On another note, what would image resolution do you recommend for pictures in Lightbox in general? I've been noticing that pictures take a while to display right now and but I'm 100% sure it has to do with image resolution. Thanks again to the both of you.

I'm sure it's relatively straight forward to make the images appear in a lightbox but want to see 1st hand how it displays to better help you.

I am pretty sure someone already asked about Image Galleries in the sidebar and was directed to a Gallery plugin instead, but I couldn't find the thread. So far, I'm able to display the images just fine, but I don't know how to force Lightbox to trap them and display them: <pre><code><div class="image-gallery"> <?php $image_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=6&orderby=rand&cat=-23,-25'); $imageArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail_name' ); $imageURL = $imageArray[0]; while ($image_query->have_posts()) : $image_query->the_post(); ?> <div class="imagebox"><a title="<?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php echo $imageURL; ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(61,61), array ('class' => 'rounded3')); ?></a></div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> </div></code></pre> I also tried to integrate the preview_image variable contained in single.php file into the above code but I was unsuccessful. It would be desirable if all 6 pictures could be browsed from Lightbox as well. Thanks for your help.
