I currently have lightbox for portfolio disabled for the following reasons:
1. As I am using a featured image with the column portfolio, if you click on that image the lightbox image shows but it does not lead to the other images in the portfolio (i.e. the ones uploaded to the portfolio page itself). This is a very undesirable behavior. You should be able to click on any image (inc. the feature image) and be able to use the next and previous images in the portfolio. For a regular visitor, there is no distinction between a featured image and the other image so this behavior makes the navigation seem broken.
2. I upload high-res images to Wordpress so that I an regen to other sizes as necessary. It seems that lightbox defers to the the original image which is too large for typical use as they are cumbersome to download. Can I designate a specific thumbnail for lightbox to use?
Thanks. I will send credentials shortly. Please note, though, that this behavior is native to the theme and not the result of any customization. It would be easy to recreate on your side. Make a column theme, choose to use featured image, add some other other images to the portfolio, and enable lightbox. Now, click on the featured image, it will open in lightbox but it will not have the option to go the the next image in the portfolio. Close lightbox, and now click on any other portfolio image. Lightbox will open and the next-previous navigation will be available for all of the other images except the featured image. In short, I like the option to include the featured image with Title and content below, but if someone clicks on that featured image, they are not led to other images in the portfolio item.
Sorry for the trouble. See my original reply its /wp-admin-login . You video shows that you tried /wp-login . Regardless, this particular ticket doesn't require you to login into to my site as the issue is a native behaviour of the theme. In fact, I have lightbox disabled so there will be nothing for you to see at all. Here's the issue:
If you add a featured image to the top of a single column portfolio, enable lightbox, and then click on the featured image, the larger, lightbox preview will appear but there will be no next-previous button to lead to the other portfolio images. If you click on any other portfolio image the lightbox preview will have prev-next navigation to all of the other images except the featured image. As the featured image is the most important image for our portfolios, its exclusion from the portfolio lightbox slideshow is a real problem as is the one image slideshow when selecting just the featured image.
Suggestions:
1. If the featured image could be wrapped into a singular lighbox slideshow that would be great.
2. Alternately, if one of the portfolio images could be selected to appear at the top, this would provide similar formatting and intent, with full ligthbox integration of all images.
3. The third option is to use composer, but frankly, why would I be using this theme if I was using composer for things like that.
As a separate issue, lightbox loads the original images, which in my case are too large and were not intended for downloading. There must be a way to designate a thumbnail size, of which Kalium has many to choose from, but I cannot find where this is in the code.

Hi Shane,
Sorry for the delay of the answer, as we were on holidays break and support team was partly active. Now we are back and able to help with any issue.
It's strange, when i go to your wp-admin or wp-login, Wordpress login area is not appearing for me, can you please check this?
Best regards,
Laborator Team
/wp-admin-login
I have changed this address to limit the number of page rules for Cloudflare.
Hi Shane,
I'm sorry but your Wordpress login area is still not working, i made a video for you to see this http://drops.laborator.co/1l9Vj

Hi Shane,
I understand the case here, so download this file and replace it in this directory (of the theme): /tpls
Then enable lightbox in portfolio, this should work and link images with gallery in lightbox.
