Easy Lightbox – Image, Gallery and Video Lightbox for WordPress

Excellent plugin

Unfortunately, this plugin is way out of date.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.

out of date for video embeds
