Lightbox Ultimate – Autoplay AND not Showing Suggested Video won't work

[alantduffy]

I have both the short tags below embedded on this page [http://www.stelladoradus.com/test-video/]. I want to have the video auto-play and not show related videos.

The first one does not auto-play and does not show related videos.

The second one DOES auto-play but shows related videos.

How to I get either one to auto-play and NOT to show related videos. I’ve clicked the auto-play options for the plug-in and tried every combination but I can’t get any one short code to do both? Adding ?rel=0 to the URL just breaks it.

Hi, you are having a similar issue like the one outlined here:

Lightbox Ultimate – YouTube shortcode is not filtering

show_suggested_video – This parameter is only available for the YouTube embed shortcode. So it will not work with the prettyPhoto YouTube shortcode. I believe there is no documentation to use it in the prettyPhoto shortcode either.

Thank you, it is the same problem but their video also does not autoplay, so the problem is not fixed. I take it there’s a bug in the software?

[wp_lightbox_ultimate_youtube_video_embed videoid=”pH8XfOE9PEw” show_suggested_video=”0″ width=”500″ height=”400″ autoplay=”1″ display_control=”1″ fullscreen=”1″ autohide=”2″ theme=”dark” showinfo=”1″ anchor_type=”image” source=”http://www.stelladoradus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/video.jpg”%5D

I have autoplay=”1″ but it does not work?

Hi, There is no bug with autoplay in the YouTube embed shortcode. I just checked the page source. The shortcode is still formatted.

Please remove everything from the visual editor. Click on the “Paste as Plain Text” button on your Visual editor (It’s a tinyMCE button that looks like a “T”). Now copy the following shortcode and paste onto the “Paste as Plain Text” editor:

[wp_lightbox_ultimate_youtube_video_embed videoid="pH8XfOE9PEw" show_suggested_video="0" width="500" height="400" autoplay="1" display_control="1" fullscreen="1" autohide="2" theme="dark" showinfo="1" anchor_type="image" source="http://www.stelladoradus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/video.jpg"]

Click “Insert”. This should remove any type of formatting from the text.

Sorry, no difference. The video still does not autoplay and there’s no formatting around the shortcode tag. I’m a developer and develop plugins myself with shortcodes so I’m familiar with the process but this just ain’t working.

I used exactly the code below. Where exactly are you seeing the code being formatted?

[wp_lightbox_ultimate_youtube_video_embed videoid=”pH8XfOE9PEw” show_suggested_video=”0″ width=”500″ height=”400″ autoplay=”1″ display_control=”1″ fullscreen=”1″ autohide=”2″ theme=”dark” showinfo=”1″ anchor_type=”image” source=”http://www.stelladoradus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/video.jpg”%5D

NEVERMIND – it was a function in the theme that was causing the problem. I had disabled WordPress wpautop and wptexturize filters. This caused the problem so I removed the filter and it worked. Good to know anyway.

Thanks for your help.
