[Video / Issue]: Lightbox not opening when link is in other plugin about simple-lightbox-extensions HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, how is the slider being added to the page? SLB works with any valid link (including those generated by other plugins via shortcodes, etc.) in supported content areas such as page/post content, widgets, etc.

Links in content outside of these areas can be manually activated using slb_activate() (see documentation for full details) or handled automatically via add-ons (such as the WooCommerce add-on).

Extensions like the video add-on automatically work with activated links, whether they are activated automatically, manually, or via another add-on.

The plugin is deployed with shortcode in a page.
Looking at the page source a bit closer it looks like adding the link to the slider background gets it rendered out to a "datalink" property, which I wouldn't assume would work with SLB.
However, when I add an href directly to the slider code, or wrap the text of the slider in an href itself, it seems to render normally, but still doesn't activate SLB.

The site I'm working on is on a secure development server, so I can't show you exactly what I'm doing, but the live page (without SLB or youtube links in the slider) is here:

I'd appreciate any insights you might have!
Thanks,

Hi, as a paid plugin, I don't have access to Meta Slider Pro, but SLB was tested with the free version and it worked out of the box with all of the slider modules, save for Coin Slider (SLB activates the links properly, but this slider appears to block access to the actual links to perform its transitions).

For each slide, the desired image/video URL was set in the URL field. When viewed in a post, Meta Slider appears to generate proper links which SLB activates for display in the lightbox.

If you are setting the desired image or video URL in each slide's URL field as described above and still experiencing issues, I would recommend testing the free version of Meta Slider to see if that works.

If the free version works, I would recommend contacting Meta Slider's developer to inquire about differences between the free and paid versions of the plugin.

If the free version also does not work for you, there may be an issue specific to your site. I would be glad to take a closer look once you are able to provide a link to a page that exhibits the issue you are experiencing.
