WooCommerce - PrettyPhoto appending URL with #prettyPhoto

Question

For some reason the PrettyPhoto script that WooCommerce is now using is adding #prettyPhoto to the end of URL's once it's been opened in that page.

See here for an example

Also, when you close the lightbox down it takes 2 or 3 clicks of the back button to get back to where you were previously.

Anyone have any idea why?

Answer 1

That is a … feature of this script, called deeplinking. It should be fixed already, maybe you missed an update?

As you can see in that commit, you can disable it by editing assets/js/prettyPhoto/jquery.prettyPhoto.init.js. Add

deeplinking: false

… to all calls of prettyPhoto({});.
