I followed the steps to create a lightbox gallery. The gallery is created, but does not open with the lightbox. It just opens as a post. Does anybody know the step I’ve missed?
Here is the site in progress. (I also must mention that pretty much nothing in this theme I bought seems to work)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I’m relatively new to wordpress
It seams like you forgot to set the Gallery Settings > Link thumbnails to: Image File! Go to edit page/post click on edit gallery inside of your editor and at the bottom you’ll find the Gallery Settings. Hope that helps.
Use Firebug with Firefox, or use the developer tools in Chrome or Safari or IE to see that there is a 404 for a file called jquery.cycle.all.js.js and an error with mediaelement-and-player.min.js. And you’re loading another copy of cycle.js, too.
Just an added note- I also had this problem on my site. As it turns out, I was using the ebay affiliate program in a widget, which uses javascript. That script was interfering with the lightbox. When I removed that widget, the lightbox worked again!
