I was looking for this plugin for MONTHS. Sadly, it's not working with my theme

Hi Kaleyko,

have you added the Youtube link (must look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw) on a single line? You mustn’t have any space or word on the same line.

Would you please send me the link to your site?

Regards,

Kevin

In my website I use the embedded code, because I think it’s safer for the future. I mean, WordPress doesn’t convert the YouTube link to an embedded code and that’s why I don’t use it.

What if one day I decided to switch to another platform that doesn’t recognize the YouTube link and it must be embedded code?

However, I’m going to try putting just a link and see if it’s working or not.

Thanks for the reply!

OMG! IT’S WORKING. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Now I have two questions:

1. Apparently, I can’t wait until the next version to change the click to play button. Is there anyway I could modify it? (Something like Boing Boing does with their embedded videos: https://boingboing.net/2014/01/23/time-to-coo-over-baby-animals.html If you focus enough you will see that they’re using something like a broken old TV pattern gif/effect under the click to play button.) Could I do it manually?

2. As you know, the click to play won’t make iOS play the videos at all. Is this fixable with the next version? Or at least, for now, is there anyway that I could display the functionality of your plugin if someone opened my website on any iOS video?

Thanks again for your time and I really appreciate your support.

Yeah, that’s great ??

1.)
You can change the play button by adding some custom CSS to your theme, e.g.:
.lazy-load-vimeo-div { background: url(images/play-button.png) center center no-repeat; }
Replace “images/play-button.png” with the URL to your own button image.

2.)
For now, it’s not fixable. But it’s on my to do list.

Regards,

Kevin

PS: Would be great if you give this plugin a five star rating here. Thanks!
