    Hi guys,

    I would like to use your plugin to open on a Lightbox when clicking on an image. Would you please explain to me how I can achieve this?

    I have tried with a Youtube video and it actually opens the video but on a full size screen without a Lightbox.

    I also tried with the video from my CDN and this one opens on a Lightbox but without the option to close it, one has to go back to the previous page.

    Is this something I can achieve with your plugin?

    I appreciate in advance your help.

    Hi @josueardon,

    This plugin only supports images, not (YouTube) videos.

    Could you please send me a link where this lightbox opens a video? This should not happen.

    Hi Johannes,

    Thank you for your answer. What a shame that your plugin doesn’t support videos, and I am guessing it doesn’t support iframes with videos hosted like in a CDN?

    I’m sorry I think I didn’t explain myself correctly, when I tried to use a video it opens the video and the visitor leaves my website. The video didn’t open on a Lightbox.

    Hi @josueardon,

    The plugin just uses baguetteBox.js: https://feimosi.github.io/baguetteBox.js/ and make it work with WordPress Blocks. baguetteBox.js doesn’t support Videos or iFrames at the moment.

    I think you have to search for another plugin for your use case.

    I understand Johannes, I’ve been looking for days for a plugin, and the ones that I found which support videos or iframes have jQuery which creates performance issues. I guess, I will keep looking.
    Thank you for your answers anyway, I appreciate it.
