    When I add a link to a Youtube video, how do I make it play in an overlay and not just open the youtube link into a page?
    I actually would like to use either the portfolio or gallery advanced layout tools, but each support thread I’ve followed doesn’t resolve the issue.

    I create a new WP install, installed Enfold theme, import test data, added a text link to a youtbue video and it doesn’t open in an overlay…just in a new tab. The imported demo data doesn’t match what is at your online demo.

    In the enfold demo online, http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/portfolio/, clicking the soccer ball opens a video in an overlay.
    How can I reproduce this behavior.

    Thanks.

    Hi emcdesignca!

    When you edit your portfolio post there will be an option called “Overwrite Portfolio Link setting” which you can set to custom and then paste in the URL to your youtube video.

    Best regards,

    I am having trouble with the same thing, however, the video is both opening up a new tab and playing in an overlay lightbox. Here is the link to my site: http://minafies.com/home-old-2/

    Click on the play button in the circle to replicate the issue. Any clue as to why it’s opening up in a new tab? I have it set to “open in same window”.

    Never mind, I figured it out. It was happening due to an external links plugin I have installed.
