Hi Linnea,

I understand your situation. However I need to figure out where do you want to use vimeo lightbox videos. Is it possible to give me an example on your page so I can figure out a solution for you.

P.S. Your website is in coming soon mode so I also need WP credentials to check your site.

To include your credentials click Insert Credentials button in editor toolbar. (See how)

Hi Linnea,

I have created custom code for you to enable Vimeo open on lightbox. Here is what you need to do:

1. Please add the following code in functions.php (end of file):

// Vimeo lightbox patch
function vimeo_lightbox_enable_on_pages() {
	$post = get_queried_object();
	
	if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) ) {
		$content = $post->post_content;
		
		if ( strpos( $content, 'vimeo.com' ) !== false ) {
			kalium_enqueue_lightbox_library();
			
			define( 'VIMEO_LIGHTBOXES_INIT', true );
		}
	}
}

function vimeo_lightbox_js_init() {
	if ( defined( 'VIMEO_LIGHTBOXES_INIT' ) ) {		
		?>
		<script>
			jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
				$( '.vc_single_image-wrapper' ).each( function( i, el ) {
					var $el = $( el ),
						isVimeo = $el.attr( 'href' ).match( /vimeo\.com\/[0-9]+/ );
					
					if ( isVimeo ) {
						$el.lightGallery( {
							selector: 'this'
						} );
					}
				} );
			} );
		</script>
		<?php
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'vimeo_lightbox_enable_on_pages', 1000 );
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'vimeo_lightbox_js_init', 1000 );

2. To add a Vimeo video with lightbox:

Basically insert "Single Image" element from visual composer, then set "On click action" to "Open custom link" and then on "Image link" insert vimeo video URL. After that the image will be lightbox clickable video.

Hi Linnea,

The problem with Vimeo videos (oEmbed) is because the WordPress uses a this method called "oembed" and after many researches (because other users had this issue as well) I've found that some videos does not support embedding on other sites (Vimeo doesn't allow that). For example this video:

https://vimeo.com/44633289

Can be displayed, I've added in the end of the videos list:

http://www.linneaforslund.se/portfolio/vimeo-test/

So for this you should contact the video author to allow your domain to embed videos.

I hope I was clear on this.

Hi Linnea,

You can try to embed any other Vimeo video and you will see that it will work as i showed you on my example.

Maybe you have any option for this on your Vimeo settings, but if you don't find anything related then please contact Vimeo directly and I think that they will know what is the problem and head you to the right direction.

Thanks!

Hi Linnea,

I have found a plugin that may help you with this, so you don't need to create new item from the scratch:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/oembed-cache/

I haven't used it but depending on description it allows you to clean Embed cache for items that work on new items.
