I’ve followed the documentation exactly, but I cannot get the Lightbox Audio functionality to work. Whenever I click on a portfolio item of this type, it navigates away from the website and goes directly to the Soundcloud track’s URL, instead of playing it in the lightbox window.

Here’s how I’m entering it into the portfolio item:

[pf_lightbox_audio title=”Soundcloud embed” url=”https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/48003776&color=00aabb&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=false&show_reposts=false”%5D

You can see here that it doesn’t work:

Is this functionality broken?

Hi jimclark509,
Could you please have a look at this topic for create a lightbox audio?
You need to copy the src attribute in the embed code.

[jimclark509]

I did that. It still doesn’t work.

Did you look at my site to see what it’s doing? It’s launching the URL that I copied and pasted, as per the directions in that thread. But it does not launch inside the lightbox.

Hi jimclark509,
I looked at your site, and i saw the embed code mistake. You should write the embed code to like this;

[pf_lightbox_audio title="Soundcloud embed" url="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/19901649&"]

Copy it to text side and organise it.
Thanks.

Still doesn’t work. I pasted the text exactly as you’ve written it here. When I click on the portfolio item, the lightbox appears but then suddenly the page navigates away to Soundcloud and plays the track full screen. See for yourself.

Hi jimclark509,
Can you try disabling all of your plugins and check again.

[jimclark509]

That did it, one of the plugins was messing with it. Thank you.

The lightbox only seems to work with tracks, not playlists. Is that correct?

Hi jimclark509,
Yes , the lightbox only seems to work with tracks.
Thanks.
