Redirecting straight to Youtube

Hi, can you share the shortcode you are currently using?

Thank you

Thanks for responding so quickly, it’s : [video_lightbox_youtube video_id=”JWernOV5DlY” rel=”wp-video-lightbox” width=”640″ height=”480″ anchor=”https://phpstack-4836-14042-91212.cloudwaysapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/CRG-icons_Desktop1.jpg”%5D

Cheers

Hi, try the following example code. Remember to change the settings to reflect your video.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7z74BvLWUg"
rel="wp-video-lightbox" title=""><img
src="https://example.com/images/thumbnails/youtube.jpg"
alt="YouTube" width="60" /></a>

Hey, this still just links through the Youtube.

Here’s the page: https://phpstack-4836-14042-91212.cloudwaysapps.com/catalytic-reaction-guide/

The button is the small image below the two mobile phones (it’s just a quick placeholder for now i’ll be using a different button image once it’s created)

Thanks

Hi, can you test a different theme like Twenty Fifteen one of WordPress default themes.

I can’t do that as we have child themes and lots of custom css on the theme we’re using at the moment so I don’t want to mess any of that up. Do you have any ideas why it isn’t working properly?

Cheers

Just one question, do you have the following enabled “Enable prettyPhoto” in WP video lightbox settings.

Hi, yes that’s enabled.

Cheers

Can you try to disable all other plugins just to carry out a test? Then you can enable them again?

I’ve already tried that several times. I’ve updated my theme too but no luck and i’ve unistalled and reinstalled your plugin but keep getting the same problem

Cheers

I don’t see any traces of the plugin shortcode in the URL you shared above.

Can you add a page or post but don’t publish the page. Add the shortcode and test to see if it displays the youtube video in a lightbox.

hi, I’ve just tried that and it still redirects to Youtube. I placed the code into a Divi text module, and also tried it placed into the default wordpress text editor – no luck.

Cheers

Can you share that test page URL?

https://phpstack-4836-14042-91212.cloudwaysapps.com/?page_id=2533&preview=true

Thanks for the quick response

You need to publish the page but don’t share the page URL on the front of your website. The URL you submitted above is only for admin testing. That URL will not work if you try and share it.
