Lightbox Ultimate – prettyPhoto shortcode not working

[drsoram]

I installed the WP version of PrettyPhotos and that went fine…I was trying to install the HTML download version into WP

But now more trouble Lightbox ultimate not working right at all

This is the code I put in to play a YOUTUBE video

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_video link=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkSDgcTXsQ0″ width=500

height=500 description=”Video description goes here” source=”http://www.drsoram.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tinnitus-2.jpg” title=”Video title goes here”]

As you can see my links if you take them out work just fine.BUT on the WP page

1. The photo called tinnitus does not show ..just a dotted box

2. The video does not play at 500x 500 but more like 300x 100

I am not sure what I am doing wrong..I have installed PrettyPhoto and not changed any of the default settings and have activated Prettyphoto (ONLY) in the settings for Lightbox Ultimate

I have screen shots of the pages but this forum software does not allow uploads of jpgs so I cant really show it to you.

Your help is appreciated on why I cannot get this going …I reviewed the usage video 3 times and just followed along with a random youtube video and random photo to try it out

thank you for your help

Hi, I couldn’t find the above shortcode anywhere in that page. Please copy the exact shortcode to a new page or post so I can take a look:

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_video link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkSDgcTXsQ0" width=500 height=500 description="Video description goes here" source="http://www.drsoram.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tinnitus-2.jpg" title="Video title goes here"]

Please make sure to save the shortcode guide (PDF file) on your computer before using it. Don’t copy shortcode from it when you are viewing in the browser window.

above is the shortcode and yes I did copy from a download though you training video advises to use the online version

[drsoram]

ok i just understood your question..you are not seeing on the finished page when you look at the code!!! I thought you meant on my blog site

Please tell me how to put the code on my webpage –i surely see it on the page I am typing on !

I am doing what your instructional video shows exactly!!!

I am copying the shortcode into WP –visual page–not a Source code page with the Brackets [ ….] intact

So please advise what I am doing wrong here

thank you

[drsoram]

Also

I checked the code for that page and there is ONLY ONE jquery.js on the entire page

Per this article

[drsoram]

Here is a screen capture of what I see in my WP posting site

Please tell me what I am doing wrong !!!

Did you try copying my shortcode to see if it works?

I don’t know what it is but when I try to access the page I get a 404 (not found) error.

[drsoram]

I just copied your code

I had made the page private so you could not get in

it is public now but i must take it down soon

I copied your code exact

the video opens fine but the photo is not there

Hi, I think somehow the shortcode got formatted when you copied and pasted it to the editor.

Try pasting it to the “HTML” view of the editor. That should remove the formatting.

There is a Paste as Plain Text option in the Visual Editor (a tinyMCE button that looks like T). You should always paste the URL here before inserting to the post/page. That removes any type of formatting.

[drsoram]

I already tried pasting into the HTML editor and it did not work

I can try again and let you know

What URL are you talking about when you say PASTE as PLAIN text? the url of the photo or the YOUTUBE video? That makes no sense and was not shown in your training video. The guy in there sure did not do that

Please advise

[drsoram]

Ok that got it to work by pasting it into HTML without formatting

So is this what I have to do from now on?

1. Paste my short code into HTML view

2. Highlight and remove formatting from the entire shortcode

3. Save and view

Why do I have to do all this? is there something wrong with my install of Wordprss?

I am using the FCK Editor ..could that be formatting it wrongly?

I appreciate your help and look forward to your answer on WHY this is happening

Thank you

Soram
