Overlay.png is incorrectly referenced in the /views/default/css/colorbox.css file
Shortly after upgrading to 1.5.3.4 of this plugin, I noticed that I started to get some 404 errors on all my pages (that's another issue I'm above to talk about).
404 Response: http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/views/default/images/overlay.png
Upon closer inspection, I found that the old css that did reference this file (among others) was block commented out lated at: ../slideshow-gallery/css/colorbox.css
-> which this does properly reference the aforementioned image (and others).
So, without digging into why the old css styles are commented out and why this new file is referenced, I simply updated the css styles to point to the correct location in the following file:
../wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/views/deafult/css/colorbox.css
// example
#cboxOverlay{background:url(../../../images/colorbox/overlay.png) repeat 0 0;}
While this works as a short-term solution, the next update would surly remove my changes. I don't think I should have to update my site's CSS to override the plugin's styles, or even provide a css load hack to the function.php file.
Is this a known issue or should I have done something different? I did download the zip from WP and extract it into the site (removing the existing plugin completely).
Thoughts?
