I’m trying to show a lightbox when people visit my website for the first time.

This is the code I have on my home page:

import {local} from 'wix-storage';
import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

$w.onReady(function () {
    if(!local.getItem("lightboxShown")) {
        ShowLightbox();
        local.setItem("lightboxShown", "Yes");
    }
});

function ShowLightbox() {
    wixWindow.openLightbox("MyLightbox");
}

When I load the page on the published website, nothing happens. The lightbox is not showing. Curiously, it works on mobile, but not on PC. I tried calling openLightbox() in my onReady(), but it doesn’t work either. I am calling the lightbox using its name, not its ID. I really don’t understand what I am doing wrong, especially since it works on mobile (at least on Android) and in the editor preview.

You forgot about the ending bracket ) in your code → 

$w.onReady(function () {
    if(!local.getItem("lightboxShown")) {
        ShowLightbox();
        local.setItem("lightboxShown", "Yes");
    }
});  //here

Thanks for your answer and well spotted, but unfortunately it’s just a copy-paste mistake I made while trying to format my post. I double checked but the ending bracket is there in my code, as well as the semicolon. Do you have any other idea of why it isn’t working?
