   I want to have a thumbnail image that links to a youtube video to display in a lightbox but no matter what I do I cannot get it to work. I followed other directions found here by adding a featured image to a page and linking manually to the youtube URL, but it will not display in the lightbox. It just links to the actual youtube page. If i paste in the <iframe> code then the lightbox will display but nothing will be in it. What am I doing wrong here?

   You can use following code to embed a youtube video link into the content:

   <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqXi8WmQ_WM" rel="prettyPhoto" title=""><img src="images/thumbnails/flash-logo.jpg" alt="YouTube" /></a>

   Replace the youtube url with a custom url and the image src with the path to your thumbnail/preview picture.

   Hi there. I'm having the same issue.
   The video was working - a few weeks ago, and now it's not. All i get is the spinning icon (of death?).
   Even tried pasting your video (mentioned in your post above) to see if I was doing something wrong.
   Nope - even your sample code doesn't work)

   Please advise as soon as you can.
   thanks!

   Hi!

   Can you post a link please? Maybe a js error causes the issue on your website. You can try to download/install the latest theme version from http://themeforest.net

   Best regards,

   thanks for your reply, but that did not work for me. I want to have a video in the 'Columns' area, like on the theme demo. There are three thumbnails floated next to each other with a neat hover animation of either a magnifying glass or a play button or slide arrows. I want to have the same feature on my website. I want youtube videos to display in that thumbnail area as a thumbnail with the neat hover animation and then open in a lightbox, not play embedded in that thumbnail size. How can i make the columns area look like the theme demo?

   Hi uptownstudios,

   I believe in the demo those are images with links to the youtube videos and instead of putting in the video url as the slideshow item.
