If you want to add lightbox image image set, just use `data-litebox-group="galone"`
in your link. Example code:

Open Youtube Video`

### [Helped me with Revolution Slider](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/helped-me-with-revolution-slider/)

I was trying to create a button pointing to a pop-up lightbox with an image from
the image gallery. After using some more “famous” lightbox plugins I tried this
one and it worked as a charm. The only downfall is that there are no customization
options, but I can live with that.
### [out of date for video embeds](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/out-of-date-for-video-embeds/)

Unfortunately, this plugin is way out of date. When you try to use it with links
to the video services it converts them all to http links not https. By the looks
of it, it also uses embed methods that are no longer supported, at least with YouTube.
Looking at the source code it converts the links to /v/ style links not /embed/
ones, so you just get a connection refused error. Seems like it also strips out
adding in extra commands to pass to YouTube like rel=0 and similar (although I’m
not sure, I think rel in particular doesn’t do anything these days, but all commands
are stripped out). It seems that the lightbox it’s based on was last updated in
2014 and is no longer available on the github repo it has in its copyright. Needs
an overhaul to be useful again.

It works with Vimeo, but with YouTube when you click on the link to open the video,
you will see a download notice.
### [A very good plugin that supports image and video.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-very-good-plugin-that-supports-image-and-video/)

I really like this plugin. It works really easily and makes using Lightbox in WordPress
a snap. There are a few small areas where it does fall short. Such as no support
for captions on image popups. I was surprised that it was not supported. Also the
images don’t transition. they just instantly change from one to another. Being able
to fade images or add a transition even by CSS would be a fantastic additions. It
is not a total deal breaker but I am considering using another plugin for image
series which means some duplication in code bases but image captions and smooth
transitions are a must for Lightbox. Thanks to the developer for all of your hard
work so far.
