# Elementor lightbox opens on top of the plugin’s lightbox

## Symptom

Two lightboxes open for one click on an Elementor page.

## Cause

Elementor’s own lightbox catches links that point at an image. The plugin turns it off for gallery links by itself, but a third lightbox plugin on the page can still catch them.

## Fix

1. Update the plugin.
2. In the other lightbox plugin, exclude links inside `.vp-portfolio`.

The widget itself is described on [Elementor](https://www.visualportfolio.com/docs/saved-layouts-and-shortcodes/elementor/).
