    Hi,

    How do I set up a Masonry Gallery to show videos so that when I click on them they don’t go to a page but open in a lightbox instead?

    I tried setting it up using a portfolio but it dosen’t show any of the videos in the gallery.

    Hey envisageiam!

    When editing your gallery click on each of the images and in the image options there will be a setting for “custom link” which you can add a URL to your video there.

    But in the page that you linked to your using just the Masonry there and not the Masonry Gallery. You already have it set to open up a video in a popup when it is clicked on as well. So if your trying to do something else then take a screenshot and highlight your intentions so we can get a better idea.

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Im only able to get the first video to show up in the masonry gallery. I can get still images to show fine. Once I can get the video thumbnails to show than I would like to know how to get them to pop open in a light box, but I need to get them to show up first.

    Hey!

    The Masonry does not automatically create thumbnails for your videos. You need to set the “featured image” of each post and that is the image that gets displayed. Right now you have it set to a red camera dot it looks like.

    If I am misunderstanding what your trying to do then please take a screenshot and highlight your intentions so we can get a better idea.

    Best regards,

    So for every video I have to create a new portfolio item instead of putting them all into one portfolio item?
    And I have to create a thumbnail for everyone instead of it pulling from the video iFrame?

    If both of those are true that really sucks!

    Hi!

    Yes, unfortunately, that’s how the Masonry element works. If you want a more complex and automatic masonry functionality that does all the job for you, please hire a freelance developer. Or you can use the Masonry Gallery, edit the images then add the url of the video inside the Custom Link field. It will automatically open a lightbox version of the video. Make sure that Lightbox linking active under Image Link is activated.

    For further modifications, please visit Envato Studio or Werkpress.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I checked the page, clicked one of the gallery items and the video opened inside a lightbox.

    Best regards,
