 * I recently used your plugin on a number of pages on my site using the shortcode.
   It was super easy. Thank you! My problem is that I recently set my site up to
   load all pages in HTTPS, but the shortcode does not seem to launch the YouTube
   videos in HTTPS and there is no option in the plugin to force SSL for YouTube
   videos.
 * It would take much longer to use the HTML option and am trying to figure out 
   if I can change the code somehow to force SSL for all shortcode videos.
 * Thanks in adance!

 * Hi willmelton according the specifications of this plugin it does work with https.
 * > Additional Features
   >  Automatically retrieve the thumbnail for your video and embed in lightbox
   > 
   > Load YouTube video over https. This is great if you have SSL installed on your
   > site Disable suggested videos at the end of a YouTube video Flexiblity of using
   > both shortcode/html code to pop up media in lightbox Show description of a 
   > popup in overlay
 * There must be something else going on in your settings. What shortcode are you
   using?

 * [@willmelton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willmelton/), by default all
   the YouTube videos open in HTTPS. Please provide a link to the page in question
   so I can take a look.

 * Here is an example:
 * [https://proximomarketing.com/services/digital-marketing/search-engine-optimization/](https://proximomarketing.com/services/digital-marketing/search-engine-optimization/)
 * When you load the page without SSL, it works.

 * Here is the shortcode being used on this page:
 * [video_lightbox_youtube video_id=”hF515-0Tduk” width=”640″ height=”480″ auto_thumb
   =”1″]

 * [@willmelton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willmelton/), The page is not
   rendering in https because there are some unsecured content. You should also 
   deactivate the “responsive lightbox” plugin for now.
