Once I shifted the site to https from http the lightbox will launch but the video will not show up or play. This has happened to me on two sites. What do you think is the best way I can fix this issue on my end?

Thank you,

Hi, if you look at your URL address on the browser you will see a yellow exclamation mark. This is letting you know that you have mixed content in your site. Another words some links, or images are not secure. You might like to try the following plugin https-redirection to help you with this issue.

In regards to the video not playing, I was able to view two videos on your site. Make sure you clear your browser cache and then try again.

Let me know how you go.

Regards

I actually changed the plugin to a different plugin because the client wanted a change. Searching I found a few other people having the same issue. It still will not work in HTTPS, I wonder if this has something to do with prettyphoto already being installed. I am using Ultimatum Theme, https://ultimatumtheme.com/

The mixed content is due to something to do with Essential Grid, I am talking to there support as well.

Thanks, let me know if there is anything I can do to help solve this issue.

Hi, in regards to the following comment.

This would definitely cause an issue.

You could test one of WordPress default themes like Twenty Sixteen or Seventeen. This would let you know if it is your theme that is conflicting with this plugin.

Kind regards

Confirm!! HTTPS Breaks
It’s not a problem at the theme or other plugins.

On my side use SSL (HTTPS) and have a problem too.
and when i bypass SSL (Use HTTP) it work!

So I had the same problem. I solved it by looking into the JS that comes bundled with my theme. There was another prettyPhoto JS that was minified and thrown together with other JS code snippets to make the theme elements work.

What happens is that the prettyPhoto JS code from the theme is over-ruling the prettyPhoto that is packaged with wp-video-lightbox. So in order to make it work you have to correct the part where it constructs the embed URL in your themes prettyPhoto JS.

movie=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/”+movie_id, … and so on
movie=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/”+i[3]+ … and so on

These lines are correct in wp-video-lightbox’s prettyPhoto JS – but they were wrong in the themes prettyPhoto JS.

Hope this helps…
