Disable theme’s FancyBox via child theme by overriding JS function “activate_fancybox”

Hey Guys, first off great theme! I love your theme but just need one thing tweaked. I have added a different lightbox plugin and I know your theme by default opens images with Fancybox. How can I stop this? Right now all of my images are opening in two lightboxes.

Thanks, Jared

Hi Jared,

Thank you very much! All are themes are like that ;)

To deactivate fancyBox you need to do it in 2 steps:

1. Disable it on “single” pages:

Define an empty function in your child theme’s “functions.php” file:

function ishyoboy_activate_fancybox_on_blog_single() {
	// Stops the FancyBox on single posts
}

function ishyoboy_activate_fancybox_on_blog_single() {

// Stops the FancyBox on single posts

}

2. Disable it on portfolio and other parts

You need to override a JavaScript function that we use to activate the fancybox. And so “ish.activate_fancybox”

See this reply to a similar question:

Overriding default JS functions with child-theme (Skills animation duration and delay)

Again, make it empty:

ish.activate_fancybox = function (){
	// Disable the default Theme FancyBox functionality
}

ish.activate_fancybox = function (){

// Disable the default Theme FancyBox functionality

}

Cheers
