We have the same issue. It simply shows HUGE product thumbs on very small screens and breaks the whole UX.

Hi Laszlo,

again, thanks for the comprehensive reply.

I guess you’re right and I should just route people to an own page where they can sign up and forget about the standard URL. Thank you for putting so much time into this, investigating the options!

There are plenty of places where WP calls the standard procedure if “register” is clicked. And then displays the “error” message.

And yes, the “Anyone can register” is turned off on WP settings, as I want the Social Login to be active only (no standard registration, as explained before). But this doesn’t seem to be possible without WP throwing an error message.

As explained above, it’s unfortunate that it puts up a literal “error”, when the social login is the only way to register.

Hi Laszlo, thanks for your comprehensive reply. Much appreciated!

Here’s what I do:
On my WP installation I go to “Settings > General > Membership” and remove the tag from “Anyone can register”. So, this should be off.

Then I go to “Settings > Nextend Social Login > Membership” and make sure the tag is set there. So, this should be on.

I then go to https://mydomain.com/wp-signup.php which sends the browser to https://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?registration=disabled. I then get this screen with the error message and the registration fields:
https://prnt.sc/1KUkbBIOgshX

All (!) plugins disabled, except for”Nextend Social Login”. Installation is WP 6.0 on PHP 8.0. Any idea, why it’s bringing up the confusing registration screen?

Hi Laszlo,

thanks for your quick reply. I followed your advice and it appears to work. However, when “Anyone can register” is disabled, it throws an error message (literally calling it “error”) on the registration page that reads:

“Error: User registration is currently not allowed.”

So, this isn’t optimal, as new users might think that, well… new registrations are not allowed, probably keeping them from even trying to register trough the social login.

It would be better if the text fields (where you can enter your registration details) would simply not be there and, if the error message wouldn’t be shown. That would avoid the confusion altogether IMO.

Is there a way to only show the social login options for registration?

…just one more question: I like the additional white line on every page, as it adds visual structure to the site IMO. Except for the general blog page, where there’s nothing in between the two white lines.

Is there a way to remove the second white line on the blog page (or on auto-generated blog pages, e.g. that are sorted by category)?

Thanks for that extensive reply. I knew that you didn’t intend the lower white line to be a real “frame” for the featured posts… but I think it just doesn’t “feel” right without it. So, yea… I’ve added your code and it looks great! ?? Thx again!

Best regards,
Martin

Okay, I found out the solution myself. Simply choose images as the content source and then you can add a custom link to each image. Great stuff. ??

Thank you for clarifying.

Yea, the description in that other post sounds exactly like what we encounter. I just updated to 1.9.2 and will report if the bug persists.

Yup… it’s a great plugin. Plus: free!
Thank you so much, guys! ??

For future upgrades you may want to consider a “no-cookie” option, as this seems to be the only way to trick YT into a real “rel=0”-mode these days.

I’m using the shortcode as posted above:

[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=”123456789123&rel=0″ width=”1280″ height=”720″
anchor=”https://mydomain.com/image.jpg”]

When I said the “answer” is there, I meant, the definition of the problem. In the linked thread, there’s that one comment, where someone says:

Since September 25, 2018 this parameter is deprecated and will be ignored.

and someone else comments:

Appears it is “changing” to only control whether related videos are from the same site or not.

This is exactly the behaviour we’re experiencing. If rel=0 you only see videos from the same channel, if rel=1 you see video suggestions from whatever source. However, this requires you to be logged in to YouTube. If you’re not logged in, you’ll still get the proper behaviour for rel=0 (no additional videos will be shown).

It’s also described in the updated YouTube API:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#rel

Too bad. “Related Videos” can no longer be turned off entirely. ??

The answer is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48386252/youtube-iframe-api-parameter-rel-0-doesnt-work

UPDATE2: One more observation that might help you track down what’s going on: If we set “rel=0” after the video id, it only shows videos from our channel in the pop-up under “More Videos”. If we set “rel=1” it shows videos from all over the place, i.e. unpredictable content.

UPDATE 3: It DOES make a difference if you’re personally logged in to your YT account. If you’re logged in, “rel=0” does NOT work. If you’re loogged out, it behaves as expected and does not show the pop-up with more videos.

UPDATE: No, I was wrong. It’s just not very easy to reproduce, because sometimes the related videos show, sometimes they don’t. We’ve reduced the code to something as simple as this:

[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=”123456789123&rel=0″ width=”1280″ height=”720″
anchor=”https://mydomain.com/image.jpg”%5D

Unfortunately, I have to chime in with the others here that’ve posted about rel=0 not working. One more observation: If you set Autoplay to true (which doesn’t work) in pretty photo settings, the related videos are shown right after the lightbox pops up, as if the video is set to start, but then on pause again (which causes the “related” or “more” video pop-up to appear). If you have set it to autoplay false, it doesn’t show the related videos until you manually start the video and hit pause.

Not sure, if I managed to make my observations clear, however, it’s safe to switch this thread back from resolved, to unresolved. Sorry for the confusion.
