  • Include jQuery before all your scripts and After that define $ variable for jQuery functions. – mehrdadep Mar 29 '19 at 14:35

    There's not enough here for us to help. We can only speculate. Please provide more detail about both applications. – isherwood Mar 29 '19 at 15:05

Lightbox2 requires jQuery. Make sure it is loaded ahead of the Lightbox script, or use the lightbox-plus-jquery.js file if you are not currently loading jQuery on your page. This file is located in the dist/js/ folder of the Lightbox2 package.

Here is the relevant snippet form the official docs:

Make sure jQuery, which is required by Lightbox, is also loaded.

  • If you already use jQuery on your page, make sure it is loaded before lightbox.js. jQuery 1.7 or greater is required.
  • If you are not currently using jQuery, I've created a packaged file that includes both Lightbox and jQuery. Include dist/js/lightbox-plus-jquery.js instead of lightbox.js.
