Problems with video

Hello,

I recently overhauled my work website https://www.childrens.org.au/. It had originally been created by an agency who instead of using enfold then creating a custom child theme, just hacked enfold. In my overhaul, I have attempted to extract the hacked bits to create a child theme. It wasn’t much fun, but I’ve done it, and have now updated the theme files after over a year of missing updates. It’s nowhere near perfect, but it’s better than the mess I started with.

Anyway, I’ve noticed that all of the lightboxes on the site have stopped working. Previously, all of our video content opened in lightboxes by adding rel=”lightbox” to the link. But none of them work anymore, instead the links just go straight to youtube (see http://www.childrens.org.au/supercooper/ and select ‘watch cooper’s story’ from the top banner). All of our videos on the site are triggered from a layer slider slide, where a layer might have something like this for the content… Cooper’s Story.

Since this wasn’t working, I thought I might try using an avia element, so I tried the Fullwidth Easy Slider. This looks fantastic on the desktop, but does not display at all on mobile devices, which is a major problem. Please see https://www.childrens.org.au/miasappeal/ the full width video autoplays on the desktop, but on devices (both apple and android) only the alternate image is shown.

Unfortunately, I have spent the entire day today, trying to get either the lightbox across all platforms, or the Fullwidth Easy Slider to work across mobile devices. I am running out of time now and now really need your help, to find a solution to one, or both of my problems.

Thanks in advance,
Tory

ps. My website has a proxy setup, If you need admin access I will need to whitelist your ip first. Same goes, if you need to access my staging server, which would be preferable.

pps. I have tried disabling all of the plugins and replacing the enfold theme completely. Also, the theme is up to date.
