lightbox not working in the table created using wpDataTables plugin

Hi

I got a problem with lightboxes that I am trying to use inside a table created using wpDataTables plugin.
After I have found how to construct very specific lightbox that is represented by one image and includes other images inside except for this one image that opens it, I pasted the code into the table. But it didn’t work as I wanted – after clicking the image, attachment page was being open. I have contacted wpDataTables support. I was advised to use WP Lightbox 2 plugin but the plugin didn’t work. In my case it even caused that some website content was invisible. I shared login credentials to wpDataTables support team member. He admitted that the solution he proposed (that should normally work) isn’t working on my site. He said It “looks like it’s rendering the address as a lightbox inside the table, instead of opening the lightbox when I click on the image.” He advised to ask if you can offer a workaround, help.

The lightbox does not work inside the table even in a very basic form: lightbox opening after clicking an image.
The effect I wanted to achieve is visible in top left corner of the test page.
Currently the image in the table was inserted as Enfold gallery shortcode. It links to an attachment page (but it shouldn’t) instead of opening lightbox.
