Fancybox links don't show in lightbox - what am i missing?

Alright, I thought I implemented this correctly, but I guess I must've goofed somewhere.

Here's my code:

Jquery here:

jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){

$(function() {
    $( ".cta-nav-hover" ).tooltip({
        show: null,
        position: {
            my: "right+40 bottom",
            at: "left bottom"
        },
        open: function( event, ui ) {
            ui.tooltip.animate({ top: ui.tooltip.position().top - 10 }, 75 );
        }
    });
});





$(function() {
    $(".fancybox").fancybox();
});

});

Then The HTML:

<div id="cta-nav-wrapper">
    <ul id="cta-nav">
        <li class="bio">
            <a href="http://placehold.it/350x125" title="Bio" class="cta-nav-hover fancybox"><span></span></a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

I thought that this would work, but when I click the link, it just brings me to the placeholder image instead of making a popup. What did I do wrong? It looks as though i have the files lined up properly, or at least when i inspect them through firebug it goes to the proper js.

Here's what I called in the head:

<!-- Add fancyBox -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wp-content/themes/hustle-child/includes/js/fancyapps-fancyBox-v2.1.5-0-ge2248f4/fancyapps-fancyBox-18d1712/source/jquery.fancybox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<!-- Magnific Popup core CSS file -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wp-content/themes/hustle-child/includes/js/magnific-popup.css"> 
<!-- Magnific Popup core JS file -->
<script src="/wp-content/themes/hustle-child/includes/js/magnific-popup.js"></script>

I also tried another plugin called Magnific Popup but it's also unresponsive. I'm thinking it has something to do with my wordpress theme's set up.

This href="http://placehold.it/350x125" doesn't say to fancybox that you are opening an image so you either :

1). add the fancybox.image special class to your link like

<a class="cta-nav-hover fancybox fancybox.image" href="http://placehold.it/350x125" title="Bio"><span></span></a>

2). add the (HTML5) data-fancybox-type attribute to your link like

<a data-fancybox-type="image" href="http://placehold.it/350x125" title="Bio" class="cta-nav-hover fancybox"><span></span></a>

3). add the type option to your fancybox script like

$(".fancybox").fancybox({
   type: "image"
});

whatever you think works better for your case.

NOTE: numbers 1). and 2). above work for fancybox v2.x only. Number 3). works for either v1.3.4 and v2.x

EDIT : included a JSFIDDLE with your code and jQuery v1.8.3.

There are two links :

one using "fancybox.image" class : working
other without : not working

Fancybox links don't show in lightbox - what am i missing?
