Hello!

Now, the lightbox works with this form the URL:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOOVyD9cmg

However, I cannot get the lightbox to play the video starting at a certain time. I have tried the URL in all these forms. They all give an error.

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOOVyD9cmg?start=310s
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOOVyD9cmg&t=330s
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOOVyD9cmg?t=330s
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkOOVyD9cmg&t=5m30s

Do you know how I can write the URL so that the lightbox will play the video starting at a certain time?

Hi Suwash,

I completely understand. Thank you so much for all your help with my questions. This will be so helpful if we decide to go through the process of removing /blog from our URL.

Thank you again!

Hi Suwash,

Thank you so much for your quick response! I have some follow-up questions.

1. If I go through the process of updating the site URL and WordPress URL, and then redirect within .htaccess, will this cause any issues with page load speed or SEO?

2. Are the changes to .htaccess sufficient for all redirection needs, or will I have to set-up individual 301 redirects for every single changed page/post URL?

3. If this was your website, would you spend the time to do all this, or would you think it is not worth it in the end?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your time!
