    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,
    Morticka

    Hi Victoria,

    Great, I’m getting a lightbox now! :D

    But youtube refuses the connection when I click on it?

    How can I fix that?

    Hi Morticka,

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

    Hi Victoria,

    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,
    Morticka
