    Hello Mehmet, thank you for an excellent theme. I wanted to know if there is a way I can add a link to an inline media/video post.

    I would like to add a link either under the video box OR after the video plays. Any thoughts?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi, you can use the wp content editor. It has an insert edit button.

    Thanks

    I’m sorry Mehmet, when I use the “insert link” into the inline video code it just goes straight to the link rather than playing the video. I want people to play the video and then see the link to click. Can this be done?

    Here’s what the current code looks like:

    [inline_lightbox_wrap type=”video” thumbnail=”http://img.youtube.com/vi/U311L61Po64/3.jpg”%5D
    [inline_lightbox_video gallery=”01″ url=”//www.youtube.com/embed/U311L61Po64″]
    [/inline_lightbox_wrap]

    Here’s what it looked like when I added the “insert link: code which did not work. Did I do something wrong?

    [inline_lightbox_wrap type=”video” thumbnail=”http://img.youtube.com/vi/U311L61Po64/3.jpg”%5D
    [inline_lightbox_video gallery=”01″ url=”//www.youtube.com/embed/U311L61Po64″]
    [/inline_lightbox_wrap]

    Hi, this is not available by default, needs more further customizations, you may consider working with a professional, if you are not familiar to coding.

    Hello Ahmet, I believe it is available, just not working because of a glitch. When a video pop-up window comes up (from the inline lightbox wrap) there’s a small youtube logo in the lower right. Clicking that should take you to the youtube page, instead it just pulls up the next video.

    I believe the problem is because of hotspot buttons (>) on the right and left of the pop up video (used to go to the next or previous videos) which doesn’t let you click the youtube link. Can the hotspot for the next and previous buttons be reduced in size so they don’t interfere? Thank you.

    ok, now i see what you mean, try this custom css code to fix it;

    #fancybox-left, #fancybox-right {
        width: 100px;
    }

    That did it, thank you for your patience!
