    I use your plugin in many different places on my website but always with a image overlay linked to the video. Works like a dream. ??

    I just embedded some videos using wordpress [embed] youtube video link[/embed]

    It’s not going into a lightbox but just playing on the page.

    Does this work with embeds or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello chickspirit,
    I’m glad to hear from you again.

    Unfortunatelly I can’t help this time:
    [embed] shortcode works in a very different than Easy SwipeBox, it’s purpouse is to embed media like videos, tweet, etc directly in the page/post.

    By the other side, Easy SwipeBox detects and opens links to video and images in a lightbox, instead of the default browser behaviour.

    To accomplish what you wish, I suggest you:

    1) Upload a thumbnail or screenshot of your video
    2) Link it to the video itself on YouTube or Vimeo.

    Example:
    <a href="LINK_TO_VIDEO"><img src="IMG_URL"></a>

    I hope this would be helpful.
    Cheers,
    Leonardo
