Since I upgraded to 4.3 the image we placed on our homepage is now a redirect to youtube.com as appose to opening the Youtube video in Lightbox. I just can’t seem to see an option that I can switch on or off that has caused this and doesn’t seem to be an issue for anyone else on the forums.
Please see the URL below. Also did you ever find a way to make this autoplay?
I did add ?iframe=true to the end of the link but that didn’t help.
Hey mcbaile,
Please check that Enfold Theme Options > Lightbox Modal Window is checked.
If this doesn’t solve, please include a admin login in the private content area so we can take a closer look.Best regards,
MikeHi,
Thank you for the login, I tested your link on a image on my clean install and it opens in a lightbox.
Could you please try disabling your plugins, perhaps there is a conflict.Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
We had the same issue on the development server as well so what we did is turned off all plugins and retested and the issue still remained. So it doesn’t seem to be a plugin, could it possibly be anything else? A setting in our theme?
Thank you
Hi mcbaile,
I have checked your site and noticed that it’s not loading the js file needed even with lightbox checked in the theme options.
Can you try to update header.php in your child theme? you should see the difference, there are some variables declared in the header.php of Enfold 4.3 which is really needed for the lightbox/modal. Hope this helps.Best regards,
NikkoAnd if i see your hint with the autoplay.
if you load the video with options – f.e. as iframe.
only the first option is with questionmark ? all the other following options have to be added by &so
videolink?autoplay=1&loop=1&iframe=trueetc
One exception is with youtube videos – if the link is with:watch?v=so allthough there is a ? the first option after video link must have the ? then &Hi,
That is a great tip @Guenni007,?autoplay=1&loop=1&iframe=trueworks very well, thanks.
Best regards,

THANK YOU for advising on updating the “header.php! i just spent the last hour troubleshooting/researching why the youtube links weren’t opening in the lightbox, and this fixed it!!!i had previously updated the theme via the wordpress updater. i didn’t know that that didn’t automatically update the parts i have in my “child” theme version. so i backed that up, then copied the updated header.php in to my child folder (via ftp), then opened that & my backup up in my editor, then copy/pasted all my added code parts. saved & viola! all was right with the world again :-)
i wish there was a way for us to have the child themes updated with theme updates BUT in a way that wouldn’t mess up any changes we’ve made to it. or, a better way to know if after an update if we need to manually update parts of our child files too.
anyways, thanks. ✌🏼
