lightbox.loadAndOpen(0) opens empty lightbox

[emollini]

Hello there.

I made a photoswipe lightbox which is working fine and opens when I click on the thumbnails. But when I try to open it with the loadAndOpen(0) method (I want to open it on page load), the opened lightbox stays empty, no images inside (the pswp__container contains 3empty pswp__item-classed divs).

Photoswipe Version 5.3.6

Any help?

If you use gallery and children options, loadAndOpen doesn't know which exactly gallery to use, since there might be multiple galleries on a page. Instead you can do something like:

lightbox.loadAndOpen(0, {
  gallery: document.querySelector('.your-gallery-selector');
});

or just trigger click on the element that you wish to open

That did it, thank you!
