I just installed Lightbox ultimate and followed the instructions how to add a Vimeo video, linked to an image . Actually there is a pop up when I click on the image, but there’s no video in it and it’s really small, even I set the width to 720 and the height to 405.
I do not have any other lightbox plugins running. Any ideas?
Can you Please post a link to the page where you have the shortcode emebedded? That will help me troubleshoot the issue.
What shortcode are you using?
Here’s the link: http://003.mmpfilms.ch/?page_id=19
Bottom of the page are two embedded videos linked to an image.
First shortcode is:
[wp_lightbox_special_mov_video link=”http://www.vimeo.com/26465340″ width=”720″ height=”405″ source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg” title=”Weisser Horizont”]
Second video shortcut is:
[wp_lightbox_colorbox_video link=”http://www.vimeo.com/26465340″ title=”Video title goes here” source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg”%5D
that one doesn’t work and I want that one so I can properly adjust the pop up theme.
Thanks for your help.
Hi, You are using the wrong format of the Video URL for the second shortcode. Please use the URL in the following way for the second shortcode:
[wp_lightbox_colorbox_video link="http://player.vimeo.com/video/26465340" title="Video title goes here" source="http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg"]It is explained in the shortcode reference guide about how you should be using colorbox shortcode to pop up vimeo video. Please have a look at it if you are not sure:
Now I wrote exactly your short code: [wp_lightbox_colorbox_video link=”http://player.vimeo.com/video/26465340″ title=”Video title goes here” source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg”%5D
Still it doesn’t work….
Looks like you have another lightbox plugin that is also including the colorbox library. Any reason why you are using two lightbox plugins?
Thanks that was correct. But still don’t really get along with the plugin.
The following 3 codes are displayed now:
[wp_lightbox_special_mov_video link=”http://www.vimeo.com/26465340″ width=”720″ height=”405″ source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg” title=”Weisser Horizont”]
– that one works but I can’t adjust frame of the popup.
[wp_lightbox_colorbox_video link=”http://player.vimeo.com/video/26465340″ title=”Video title goes here” source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg”%5D
– opens in full frame even I don’t want it to.
[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_video link=”http://www.vimeo.com/26465340″ width=720 height=405 description=”xy” source=”http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg” title=”video title goes here”]
– opens video on the vimeo site and not in a popup.
Sorry, probably I’m just too stupid.
One of your plugins is including the jquery library in the wrong way –
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/plugins/sliding-read-more/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>Which has been already included using the proper WordPress enqueue function –
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1'></script>Please have a look at the following post which will explain it –
Lightbox Ultimate – Clicking on the Anchor does not Display any Overlay
One more suggestion. The following shortcode is actually for displaying .mov video file in overlay.
[wp_lightbox_special_mov_video link="http://www.vimeo.com/26465340" width="720" height="405" source="http://003.mmpfilms.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trailer_play_new2.jpg" title="Weisser Horizont"]Even if the overlay dislpay is working for now you shouldn’t be using it. Please use either prettyPhoto, fancybox or colorbox shortcode to display vimeo video.
Let me know how it goes.
