Shadowbox with Youtube Simple Gallery

I can change the size of the lightbox but no matter what I do, I can’t change the size of the vimeo or youtube video size. It stays very small. Again, on Thickbox, I can resize the video and the window with no problems

Hi,

On my test site, Shadowbox JS works perfectly, and I have not been able to duplicate the bug you refer to. Could there be other plugins conflicting with Shadowbox JS? Does your theme have wp_head() in header.php and wp_footer() in footer.php?

If you have a link to your gallery, I’d be happy to take l look.

Here’s a picture of my error – I’m using thickbox now just so the website is functional – https://www.deliciousvfx.com/projects

I’ll double check on header and footer. I thought at first that thickbox was conflicting with shadowbox but I already tried disabling it.

Thanks for your reply!

This is in my footer – <?php wp_footer()?> and my header has <?php wp_head()?>

I’m in a modified twenty eleven theme. The only plugins activated are google analytics dashboard for wp, insert headers and footers, thickbox, shadowbox and youtube simple gallrery

Could you very quickly switch themes to default Twenty Eleven, and see if the problem persists? Not sure if this is a problem related to my plugin, or something else, i.e. your current theme.

Oh, wow. It works perfectly fine in twenty eleven. I guess there’s something in my theme that’s the problem. Any ideas what part of the code could be doing this to shadowbox?

Yes, it seems the following styles in your theme’s style.css is the culprit:

iframe,
embed,
object {
	max-width: 100%;
	height: auto;
}

I think you can safely remove it entirely, but the height: auto; is making your videos smaller in Shadowbox.

could it be timthumb?

No, timthumb is only used on the thumbnails. As I said above, the definition of height: auto; on iframes is causing the problem.

Ok, thank you very much for isolating the problem. If I can’t get it to work, I’ll take it to the person who modified the theme.

Cheers!

Happy to help.
