# Video lightbox problems

 * Is there a way to get WP Video Lightbox to work with video posts?
 * Without success, I have tried different codes in the “Format: Video” form below
   the post. Also, if I place a text anchor at the top of the post, the lightbox
   will work if I click on the text, but not on the Youtube thumbnail that Hueman
   delivers.
 * Any solutions? Or more compatible plugins?
 * Thanks

 * Hi adieu. The plugin shortcode won’t work in the Video URL option of a video 
   format post. You need to embed the shortcode in the post content. You don’t need
   to use the Video format, although doing so will add the fontawesome “video” icon
   on the post image of the home/archive page.
