## Kuvaus

### WordPress Video Lightbox Plugin

Video Popup is a lightweight plugin for creating YouTube and Vimeo lightbox popups
on any WordPress site. Use the **Gutenberg block**, **shortcode**, or **Elementor
widget** — Elementor is optional.

Built with Magnific Popup for a fast, responsive lightbox experience with a smooth
fade effect.

### WordPress Developer Studio

 * [Zelvigo Dev Studio](https://zelvigo.com/)

### Features

 * **Gutenberg block** — add video popups from the block editor (Zelvigo block category)
 * **Shortcode** — `[wptd_video_popup]` works on any page or post
 * **Elementor widget** — optional, loads only when Elementor is active
 * **Trigger types** — text, icon, or image
 * **YouTube & Vimeo** — including `youtu.be` short links
 * **Popup width** — customize max video width in pixels
 * **Overlay color & opacity** — theme color palette plus opacity slider (0–100%)
 * **Autoplay** — play video when the popup opens (enabled by default)
 * **Responsive & retina ready** — works on all screen sizes

### Gutenberg Block Settings

 * Video URL (YouTube or Vimeo)
 * Autoplay video (on/off)
 * Trigger type: text, icon, or image
 * Popup width (px)
 * Overlay background color (theme palette)
 * Overlay opacity (%)

    ```

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Video Popup Create a video lightbox popup for YouTube or Vimeo.

## Asennus

 1. Upload the `wptd-video-popup` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Add a **Video Popup** block in the editor, use the shortcode, or add the Elementor
    widget.

## UKK

### Can I use the plugin without Elementor?

Yes. The Gutenberg block and shortcode work without Elementor. The Elementor widget
is an optional enhancement when Elementor is installed.

### Does it work with any theme?

Yes. It works with any WordPress theme that supports the block editor or shortcodes.

### Does autoplay work on mobile?

Autoplay runs when the visitor clicks the trigger and the popup opens. Some mobile
browsers may restrict autoplay with sound; the user may need to tap play inside 
the video player.

### Can I extend the plugin?

Yes. Contact us at [Zelvigo](https://zelvigo.com/) for custom features or integrations.

I evaluated some lightboxes in combination with the pagebuilder elementor. I have
decided on this and I am curious whether my customer is satisfied with it. Thank
you for this plugin!
