Hi @kruku,
I’m sorry for your frustration but I’m sure there’s something wrong in how the plugin was set up.
The trigger should never be a link pointing to the actual YouTube video. Have you had a chance to check out the documentation?
You will find all details on how the plugin should be set up here:
Here’s a link example for the trigger element:
<a href="#" class="wp-video-popup">Play Video</a>
Notice how the href link contains only a #
symbol.
I understand your frustration if a plugin doesn’t seem to be doing what it’s supposed to but it would have been great if you’ve created a support ticket first instead of leaving a 1-star review.
I’m sure this is something we can help to resolve. I’m happy to look into this for you.
Best,
David
