 * I’m using your plugin on all of my websites, but in some cases I will need to
   open the YouTube in a lightbox… do you plan adding this option in the future?
   Because for now I will need a second plugin. Thanks.

 * Great thanks. By the way, I just ran into an issue with the YouTube embed, it
   seems that if the ID of the video start with a “v” and you use the short url (
   [https://youtu.be/vXWzQn6WLiA](https://youtu.be/vXWzQn6WLiA) – fake url) the 
   plugin will remove the “v” and the video won’t load. If you use the long version
   url with “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=”vXWzQn6WLiA&#8221](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=”vXWzQn6WLiA&#8221);
   it will work… is it a known issue?

 * [@revixi5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/revixi5/) Thank you for reporting
   this. I will look into it soon.
