Hi there,

This PrettyPhoto feature is called "deep linking". Here's how to turn it off...

1. Open footer.php

2. Locate the following on lines 69-86...

//PRETTY PHOTO
function prettyP(){
	jQuery("a[href$='jpg'],a[href$='png'],a[href$='gif']").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto"});
	jQuery(".gallery-icon > a[href$='jpg'],.gallery-icon > a[href$='png'],.gallery-icon > a[href$='gif'], .postImg").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto[pp_gal]"});
	jQuery("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
		animation_speed: 'normal', // fast/slow/normal
		opacity: 0.35, // Value betwee 0 and 1
		show_title: false, // true/false
		allow_resize: true, // true/false
		overlay_gallery: false,
		counter_separator_label: ' of ', // The separator for the gallery counter 1 "of" 2
		//theme: 'light_rounded', // light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square
		hideflash: true, // Hides all the flash object on a page, set to TRUE if flash appears over prettyPhoto
		modal: false // If set to true, only the close button will close the window
	});
}
prettyP();

3. Change it to the following...

//PRETTY PHOTO
function prettyP(){
	jQuery("a[href$='jpg'],a[href$='png'],a[href$='gif']").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto"});
	jQuery(".gallery-icon > a[href$='jpg'],.gallery-icon > a[href$='png'],.gallery-icon > a[href$='gif'], .postImg").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto[pp_gal]"});
	jQuery("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
		animation_speed: 'normal', // fast/slow/normal
		opacity: 0.35, // Value betwee 0 and 1
		show_title: false, // true/false
		allow_resize: true, // true/false
		overlay_gallery: false,
		counter_separator_label: ' of ', // The separator for the gallery counter 1 "of" 2
		//theme: 'light_rounded', // light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square
		hideflash: true, // Hides all the flash object on a page, set to TRUE if flash appears over prettyPhoto
		modal: false, // If set to true, only the close button will close the window
		deeplinking: false
	});
}
prettyP();

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hey,

At some point I discovered that PrettyPhoto has become a nuisance. I searched for the problem in the forum, but didn't discover anything helpful.

When I first installed the theme, then the navigation was the following (at least I think it was, I'm almost 100% sure of it):
Open blog (url 1) -> open blog post (url 2) -> open photo in post (url 2) -> move through other photos (url 2). When you closed the lightbox and pressed Back, then it went directly to URL 1.

Now however every photo that you open in the lightbox has its own URL in the address field.
Take for example the theme demo: http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/blog/
I open a blog post, the address line shows: http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/2011/05/19/lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-22/
When I open a photo, the address line displays: http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/2011/05/19/lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-22/#!prettyPhoto[pp_gal]/0/
For the next photo, the address is: http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/2011/05/19/lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-22/#!prettyPhoto[pp_gal]/1/ etc, etc.

Now when I close the lightbox, I have to go back through all of the generated links before hitting the blog post listing http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/blog/.

I know it is not that hard clicking the link to blog or home, but many people use the back button and if there is a sufficient number of pictures they view, they fill close the site out of frustration.

I can't really tell you when the change occurred and if I had updated anything. I think it was the autumn of 2012 when I first noticed this. But seeing as the demo site has the same issue as mine, then at least I know that I haven't messed anything up :-))

I don't post many pictures at a time, but having just the blog post address in the address field all the time would be a nice touch.
