Hey guys. I have a weird issue here:
I’m trying to get Gallerys or images i posted in a custom content field to open with a lightbox. It works only for the default content box in the post. The one i created with custom fields doesn’t have the required rel=”lightbox” in its anchor tag.
How do i add this functionality?
You can check out an example here:

(i know the code is very messy, but it’s still in development)
Hi Flowbob,
Did you try using something like this in your custom theme page, I used fancybox:
<a class="fancybox" rel="group" href="<?php the_field('name_custom_field'); ?>"><img src="<?php the_field('name_custom_field'); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>"/></a>
The problem is that i’m not only getting image URLs, i’ve got a field with a WYSIWYG editor which gives me all kinds of content, so i can’t hardcode it in my template :/
Hi @flowbob
It is most likely that you have a plugin which is adding the lightbox effect to WYSIWYG galleries. Is this correct?
if so, all you will need to do is pass the ACF value through the the_content filter – this is how a plugin would modify the_content value.
<?php
$wysiwyg = get_field('field_name', false, false);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $wysiwyg);
?>
Please note the extra false, false parameters are to prevent ACF from formatting the value because the_content will also do this.
Thanks

I dont really understand what it does, but this seems to solve the issue 😉
Thanks Elliot, You’re awesome!
Am i right that it kind of marks the field as a “the_content” output for plugins i installed?
Hi @flowbob
Kind of, you can read more about this filter on the WP codex.
Thanks

hi
thank you for this suggestion, but it doesn´t work for me
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php
wp_link_pages( array(
'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'pictorico' ),
'after' => '</div>',
) );
?>
<?php if(get_field('spalten')): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('spalten')): ?>
<div class="columns">
<div class="col-left"><?php
$wysiwyg = the_sub_field('linke_spalte', false, false);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $wysiwyg);
?></div>
<div class="col-right"><?php
$wysiwyg = the_sub_field('rechte_spalte', false, false);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $wysiwyg);
?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

@michaeldegraaf This fix problem for me 🙂 Thank you!
Hi @elliot, this solution didn’t work in my situation, unfortunately.
<?PHP
$content = get_field('wysiwyg', false, false);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $content);
?>
It destroys the output of the wysiwyg, displaying nothing.
I have the plugin Simple Lightbox installed, which I want to use for the gallery’s lightbox.
Previously, I was using:
<?PHP
the_sub_field('wysiwyg');
?>
To output the wysiwyg normally.
Help appreciated.
Steve
