Step 5. Add Your Videos (YouTube, Vimeo)

You can add the video lightbox to almost anything that allows you to add a link:

  • Navigation Links

  • Header Button

  • Button Blocks

  • Text Hyperlinks

  • Image Block Links

Create and add a link like normal and add # right before the video’s URL to the link box. The link should look something this: #https://www.youtube.com/12345

⚠️ Important: Be sure to use the video’s full URL that is shown in the browser and not the shortened shareable link that YouTube generates.


Plugin Notes

Troubleshooting (Plugin Not Working)

  • Use the video’s full url and not the shortened shareable link.

  • Check the video’s privacy settings to make sure it is publicly available.

  • Not compatible with videos uploaded to video blocks or galleries.
