Not working for YouTube videos

    The only thing I want to have open in a lightbox are YouTube videos, so it’s the only option that’s checked. I have embedded the videos and linked to them and tried every way I can, but none are opening in the lightbox. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi

    Is it possible to see the problem anywhere to have ability investigate it?

    Sure, I deleted most of the attempts, but there are iframes on this page.

    And you can see an individual video uploaded with just the YouTube link here.

    The plugin doesn’t attach lightbox to <IFRAME> element. It adds the lightbox to links. Something like:

    <a href="youtube_link">... some content ...</a>

    Okay, I thought that might be the case, but it doesn’t work on my YouTube links either. I’ll try a different one, thanks.

    If you provide a link to a page where it doesn’t work with YouTube links, we will investigate the problem.

    The page from your second link contains a link to YouTube channel, not to YouTube video. If you add the following link to the page, it will be opened into the lightbox:

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hajFW6KXyM4">Click me</a>

    You can find sample YouTube links in user’s guide (see “YouTube videos” section).

    That was a simple link, but I changed it back to an iframe when I couldn’t get the lightbox to work.

    How about this page? Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong here? ??

    Most have captions, but the last one doesn’t, and I can’t get it to work for either.

    It is not “ARI Fancy Lightbox” issue. This problem with “responsive-menus.min.js” which is used by theme on your site. It doesn’t work properly and you can see javascript errors in browser’s error console. These errors prevent execution of “ARI Fancy Lightbox” script.

    Oh how embarrassing. Thank you so much for troubleshooting for me. It’s working perfectly.
