 * Sure; if the page in which you are embedding the YouTube is HTTPS, wp youtube
   lyte will automatically switch to HTTPS as well.

 * Hi Futta,
    Thanks for that feedback.
 * It kind of worked, but as soon as I press to play the video, the green padlock
   next to the address bar in Chrome changes from green to gray/yellow. Can you 
   check why that is so? I see many non-https links in the source code related to
   the Youtube video.
 * Also I stumbled upon some link [http://www.videobash.com](http://www.videobash.com).
   How do I remove that?
 * Many thanks

 * Weird; are you 100% sure you’re seeing WP YouTube Lyte in action? It does not
   have any links like videobash and should work in HTTPS. Feel free to post a link
   to your blog here or to mail me at futtta-at-gmail-dot-com.

 * Follow-up for those who might see this post later on: YouTube apparently requests
   the actual video-data over HTTP, even if the embed is in HTTPS. This cannot be
   changed by WP YouTube Lyte.
 * Regarding the “videobash”-link; that was in the video description on YouTube 
   and got added by WP YouTube Lyte because the option “use microdata” was active.
   You can deactivate that option in the WP YouTube Lyte admim-page.
