Hi James,

Sorry about the late reply!

To remove the image lightbox you will need to do this:

You will need to edit this file: north\framework\functions\blog-functions.php

On lines 409-411 where it says:

<div class="single_item mp-gallery">        
    <a href="<?php echo $imgurl[0]; ?>" title="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">            
    <img src="<?php echo $imgurl[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">
</a>

Change it to:

<div class="single_item">
        <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $post->ID ); ?>" title="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">
            <img src="<?php echo $imgurl[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">
        </a>
    </div>

Then save, upload and replace to the same directory in your server via ftp/hosting control panel.
