HEllo

I just posted to my blog ad got the email notification. I open my email (firefox)and there is my post from WordPress- except indstead of seeing the pictures from the lightbox, I see:

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_image link=”http://corndogart.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Petey-Puppy2.jpg” description=”This is my dog Petey as I envision him as a puppy.” source=”http://corndogart.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Petey-Puppy1-e1394725850544.jpg” title=”overlay image title goes here”]

How do I get the emailed post to show pictures in the lightbox? Most of my readers are on their cell phones and get my posts from email. thanks

Hi, are you using a feed reader or a plugin to get notified via email?

This is happening in my regular email and cell phone email.

1. For some of my subscribers, I am using the WordPress Jetpack widget (they can get it through email)

2. I have added other people to my email list from eMember (when they register for a free membership)

3. Some (only a few) added their name through a plug in called OptIn Skin, a plugin that lets you put attractive skins on the post to get people’s emails.

It is an artist’s site, so pictures are key- they need to show up.

The latest post included a link to a YouTube video. Where the picture should be it is just blank (like it’s not read at all).

Other email posts omitted the pictures as well. I can forward it to you if necessary.

thanks!

Clarification

When I get emails from eMember registration, I send out newsletters from Mailchimp- those pictures work fine.

The problem is with the automatic emails coming from WordPress. I can send you a screenshot or other info if you want.

thanks

I don’t think that, as far as an email message goes, it would not be expected to work because:

1. The message content is being rendered outside the WordPress environment.
2. The lightboxes require supporting jQuery & Javascript libraries, that will not be transmitted with the email messages.

Non lightbox images render correctly, because they are just plain HTML.
