I’m trying to make a Masonry portfolio from Vimeo links that open in a lightbox. But when I click the image you see the lightbox for a split second and then it links to the Vimeo page.
This is how i set it up:
– I’ve added a Portfolio Item with a Video Media Element (for example url: https://vimeo.com/63186969)
– And then defined a custom link to the same external url
– Plus included a featured image
– I’ve added a Masonry Content Element on my PageBut when I click the Masonry Portfolio Item it shows the lightbox for a split second and then links to the Vimeo page.
How do I set this up correctly?Hi Broelando!
are you using a short URL version? then it does not work. Please use the full Vimeo link.
Best regards,
AndyI’m using full URL’s, at least I think… Like this one: https://vimeo.com/97206714
I accidently discovered a sort of workaround, I’ve added a [ in front of the vimeo link ( like this: [https://vimeo.com/97206714 )
This is very strange but it seems to do the trick.Hi!
I tested the same vimeo video (https://vimeo.com/63186969) as a custom link on a portfolio item on my installation and it plays fine on a lightbox without redirecting to the actual vimeo page. I’m not sure if the workaround is actually helping. Can you please create a test page without the fix?
Regards,
IsmaelHey Ismael,
I’ve removed the workaround ( adding a [ ) for the first video ( http://vimeo.com/97205906 ). It still links to the vimeo site.
I’ve tried different browsers, Safari, Firefox, Chrome on a Mac. All latest versions and all start playing for a sec in the lightbox and then link to Vimeo. Oh and the playback of the lightbox video in Firefox is very choppy. But maybe that is just the browser…If you still want to see the masonry video, I’ve created a test page with and without the workaround.
You can find it here: http://broelando.nl/masonry-test/Hi!
please deactivate all plugins to see if that helps. If not you can create us admin access so that we can have a deeper look into the issue.
Cheers!
AndyHey!
I tested the portfolio links on the page (http://broelando.nl/masonry-test/) with the video lightbox and it plays find without redirecting. I’ll ask the rest of the support team to check.
Cheers!
IsmaelI disabled all plugins like you said and the redirecting went away. Then I enabled them one by one and discovered that it’s the ‘WP Slimstat’ plugin that does the redirecting. First I thought it was the ‘Hyper Cache’ plugin but when I emptied the cache it worked fine.
Do you have a suggestion for another webstats plugin? Because I would like to see the stats of the website.Hi!
I see you are now using ‘WP Statistics’, does the issue still occurs with that plugin?
Best regards,
JosueHey Josue, no with that one it’s fine. Or do you suggest another plugin or another way to view statistics?
Hey!
maybe this list with the Top 10 statistics plugins can help you: http://allbloggingtips.com/2012/01/15/10-best-statistics-plugin-for-wordpress/
