 * Hello:
 * I’m working on this website using Qode’s Bridge’s theme (From Themeforest)
 * I’ve succesfully implemented a popup video using your plugin (It’s in the right
   column). Works great.
    [http://www.netpay.mx/wordpress/isypay/](http://www.netpay.mx/wordpress/isypay/)
 * But now I wanted to link the same video in one of my sliders from the homepage.
   It’s the Second slider ( ISYPAY)
    [http://www.netpay.mx/wordpress/](http://www.netpay.mx/wordpress/)
 * The theme comes with a nice slider where I can have 2 buttons. I want the second
   button to link to the video using color box but I can’t seem to apply it.
 * The slider interface asks for two things.
 * 1. Text for the button: “VER VIDEO”/WATCH VIDEO
 * 2. An an url. I put there variations of your short code but I can’t seem to make
   it work.
    Your short codes need an url or an image… which I can’t apply there….
   IF i only put the youtube video url it links to it but no shadowbox….
 * Can this be done…? should I need to add some extra code?
 * Please advice.

 * Hello :
 * Actually is not resolved….
 * The problem Is that I can’t activate the video since I can’t add the extra code…
 * [wp_colorbox_media type=”youtube” ]
 * I only have an url field in the theme editor.. If I add anything else but [http://www.examplelink.com](http://www.examplelink.com)
   it messes up the url…
 * But I see now in the page’s comments that somebody asked something similar asking
   to activate the plugin with a button and you mention that it can only be activated
   with an image or text hyperlink
