Hi guys,
I used an icon box element (cirkel with play button inside) and I inserted a youtube link manually.
But, the video does not open in a lightbox, but you get directed to the youtube homepage.
How can I make sure the video opens in a lightbox when you click on the icon box element?
Can you help me please?
Sincerely,

Great, I’m getting a lightbox now! :D
But youtube refuses the connection when I click on it?
How can I fix that?

You can try using a plugin if the suggested solution seems complex.
Best regards,

Thx for the plugin suggestion, but for these kind of things I don’t want to use another plugin that can potentially create conflict with Enfold or slow down my site. :)
In response to your “seems complex” remark, I always try to find the most user friendly solution. I don’t mind messing with code, but most regular people do and the reason I love Enfold so much, is that almost everything works great right out of the box.
I did not understand why Enfold lightbox would not work with a youtube link, as it did before and I was questioning why it was necessary to use functionphp code or an insane long url from a 2018 thread to get it to work.
Here’s the problem: A normal Vimeo link works, but a Youtube share link, does not.
And then I found the solution and it’s actually quite simple!
Just copy the entire (browser) url of the youtube video and paste it in. I was using the share link of the youtube video, duh! :D
Anyway, thx!
You can close this thread.
Sincerely,
