Image does not open video in Lightbox

Hi Guenni007, Thank you so much, as always for assisting me! I have added the code you provided in the link, your first response. It’s there now and I am still using an image with the video link, attempting to have it open in a lightbox. Unfortunately, it did not work. Might you have any suggestions ?

My reason for not using the Video element is that the Preview/Fallback image gets cut off – it makes it horizontal, when the image is actually vertical.

So my Child Theme functions.php file now looks like this, but the video still won’t open in a lightbox…. Might you have any additional suggestions?

<?php
function lightbox_with_mixed_content_type() {
?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
window.addEventListener(“DOMContentLoaded”, function () {
(function($){
$(‘.mixed-contenttype a’).each(function(){
var anchorLink = $(this).attr(‘href’);
if (/\.(jpg|png|gif|webp|jpeg)$/.test(anchorLink)) {
//console.log(anchorLink + ” is an image link”);
} else {
$(this).attr(‘rel’, ‘lightbox’).addClass(‘mfp-iframe’);
}
});
})(jQuery);
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘lightbox_with_mixed_content_type’, 999);
/*

* WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/

If you don’t think it’s possible to do this, I will make a horizontal image for the preview/fallback (doesn’t look quite as nice in terms of filling up the space), just thought I’d give it one more try.

That worked, so sorry and thank you!
