Videos not playing from youtube

Blogger12,

Since February Maxgalleria uses the Magnific Popup for the lightbox which does not take Youtube embedded URLs or, in your case, URLs that include parameters which are those items that appear in your URLs after the video ID, such as ‘&list=PLNDFPlOofI2-8X0L1Vj_1i9xju5v2ojyS&index=3’. There is not a way in Maxgalleria to edit the video URLs. You could edit them if you site has uses phpMyAdmin. If so, you could run phpMyAdmin, open you database, find the postmeta table and edit all the records with a meta_key of ‘maxgallery_attachment_video_url’. Or you could delete the videos from your gallery and reenter the URLs without the parameters. This would take less time. Just be sure you save a list of your gallery’s URLs.

If you want to have the videos autoplay then refer to this post.

Thanks Alan.

I was able to get the videos to play using option 1. Definitely the easiest method.

But I am not sure I understand the post to get them to autoplay.

Here is the link to the code — but I am not sure where to put it. Also do I insert the entire code or is there a key line? Does it go in the theme stylesheet under “Appearance” — then “Editor”?

You place that code in your theme’s functions.php. I will add ‘?rel=0&autoplay=1’ to all your videos.

I added it to the bottom of the theme’s function.php file right before the last bracket and it did not do anything. I am using an Ink Theme template. Does that matter? Or did I not place it in the correct place in the file?

Here is the code:

function change_magnific_popup_iframe_setting(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery(‘a[href*=”youtube.com/watch”]’).magnificPopup({
type: ‘iframe’,
iframe: {
patterns: {
youtube: {
index: ‘youtube.com’,
id: ‘v=’,
src: ‘//www.youtube.com/embed/%id%?rel=0&autoplay=1’
}
}
}
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action(“wp_footer”, “change_magnific_popup_iframe_setting”);

I checked your front page, I did not see the code there. I tried loading https://tempol.info/videos-audios/, but after 15 minutes the page is still not loaded probably due to too many videos on one page. Check to see if you put the code in the correct theme.
