Title: Auto Detect Not Working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Auto Detect Not Working * Resolved [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/) * I mainly used EFB for the pop-up lightbox effect for my YouTube and Vimeo links. Autodetect was working in the beginning but recently stopped working. While it works if I put the class “fancbox-youtube”, I’d prefer of course to have the convenience of autodetect. * I went into my settings and changed the Links to exclude none. I get the pop- up but then it’s just white and doesn’t show a preview of the video or any of the play buttons or any of that. * Can you help me troubleshoot on what may be wrong. An example is here: [http://www.cooksmarts.com/cs-blog/2013/08/greek-salad-with-herbs/](http://www.cooksmarts.com/cs-blog/2013/08/greek-salad-with-herbs/) There is a link in a grey box to “this video.” Ideally, it would pop open the lightbox. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-fancybox/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-fancybox/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [LarsTMoen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larstmoen/) * (@larstmoen) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4110929) * Seems auto detect stopped working for me after updating to 3.6 today. * Should launch Vimeo in lightbox upon loading this page: [http://moenfilm.com/?project=arms-of-the-sun-2013](http://moenfilm.com/?project=arms-of-the-sun-2013) * Thread Starter [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4110940) * [@larstmoen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larstmoen/), that’s probably the issue for me too. I tried deactivating all my plug-ins and it still wasn’t working so it probably is an issue w/ new WP version. Hpefully there’s a fix soon. I do not want to go back to all my old links to add the fancybox class. * [LarsTMoen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larstmoen/) * (@larstmoen) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4110965) * Seems to be a WordPress problem, my website produces a 404 error, looking for jquery files.

(The jquery 404 error is gone, however). * Thread Starter [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111009) * Yes, I hope he does soon! I just deactivated this plug in since it was screwing up all my videos at the moment. The ones that do have the lightbox effect just show a blank white box * [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111015) * [@jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/), I do not see any Easy FancyBox related scripts in your page source… Can you activate the plugin? * [@larstmoen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larstmoen/) your theme script causes an UncaughtReference error related to an undefined variable ‘twitter_username’. Apparently the theme NEEDS a twitter username or else the script fails. And it is this failing that subsequently halts fancybox… You need to define a twitter username or fix the theme script ( which ever is easier 😉 ) * [LarsTMoen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larstmoen/) * (@larstmoen) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111017) * Solved for me. A call to the standard WP twitter widget broke the script.

Set it to “None” instead of “Without thumbnail image”. * Thread Starter [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111023) * [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/), just did that (and I had it set to this before). There is a pop-up lightbox now but nothing shows in it – just a blank white box. Add’l thoughts? * [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111024) * [@jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) – thanks for pointing that out: it’s a bug. Use the protocol http instead of https for now. Then next version will see this the bug fixed 🙂 * Thread Starter [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111025) * [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) Thx for the quick reply. And sorry, I’m not super technical . . . is that a setting I can set w/in WordPress? * [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111026) * Oh, sorry. That was not a clear answer from me… No, it’s the link address you are using: [https://vimeo.com/71293607](https://vimeo.com/71293607). Make it [http://vimeo.com/71293607](http://vimeo.com/71293607) without the s in the https 🙂 * Thread Starter [jdang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdang/) * (@jdang) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-detect-not-working/#post-4111027) * [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) Thx, that makes a lot more sense. I’m going to de-activate for now and wait till the next update. I have too many posts at the moment to switch it out. * Thx for a great plug-in and I look forward to the next udpate!
