Path wrong in thickbox.js

[pospiech]

the thickbox.js contains the line:

var tb_pathToImage = "../wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif";

which leads to path like:
​http://www.local-matthiaspospiech.de/blog/category/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif
​http://www.local-matthiaspospiech.de/blog/2009/06/25/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif

which is definitely wrong and leads to 404 Errors on every page.

I couldn't replicate the bug. Could you give me more details on how to replicate it?

Use the inbuilt Thickbox scripts on the front end of the blog.

add_thickbox(); in the top of a themes index.php and then a class="thickbox" on a few links should do it.

To tell that the problem exists, you shouldnt see a spinner.

Note: either permalinks need to be disabled, or it has to be used on a front page, or a grandchild, not a first-level page (ie. / and /page/child/ will show the bug, but not /page/)

The bug definitely exists, but this ticket is a dupe of #6453
