Title: [Plugin: WP YouTube Lyte] Enable fullscreen button automatically? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP YouTube Lyte] Enable fullscreen button automatically? * Resolved [busheikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/busheikin/) * (@busheikin) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/) * Very often the fullscreen button is lacking from the YTLyte embeds. If I add“& fs=1” to the end of an httpv://… url, it will put the fullscreen button in there. Is there a way to put this in the code so it happens automatically? * Thanks for reading, sorry if I am a total n00b. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095845) * Hmm, if I’m not very much mistaking this was in WP YouTube Lyte once, but apparently I nixed it by accident or for reasons I don’t remember. I’ll look into this for the next version (1.2.0 if all goes well). * In the mean time you could open up wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyte/lyte- min.js, search for * `&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3` in there and change that into `& wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&fs=1&iv_load_policy=3` * frank * Thread Starter [busheikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/busheikin/) * (@busheikin) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095942) * It’s there, but it disappears when the video is clicked. * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095944) * the “lyte player” you see is a placeholder for the real youtube video player which is only loaded when clicked. so it’s there, but it isn’t really 😉 * Thread Starter [busheikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/busheikin/) * (@busheikin) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095945) * I see. So there is no way to ensure the fullscreen button is on the real player using this plugin? * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095947) * there is, using the small code change from my initial comment. the same change should also be present in the next version. * Thread Starter [busheikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/busheikin/) * (@busheikin) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095948) * Thanks futtta. I have indeed made that change. Still, The full screen button _does_ appear on the placeholder; The full screen button _does not_ appear on the real player. * Edit: [here’s an example post](http://www.chartattack.com/watch/2012/10/11/thee-oh-sees-lupine-dominus-nsfw/) * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095949) * thanks for the link, i’ll investigate tomorrow! * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095974) * it took me some time, but just checked out your link and if i’m not mistaking, you identified & fixed the problem by replacing “fs=1” with “allowfullscreen= 1”? * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095985) * Just looked at youtube embed code as available for most youtubes; apperantly “ allowfullscreen” is now added as an attribute of the iframe, like this; * `` * I’ll add this small change in wp-youtube-lyte.php for the upcoming version (not sure if I’ll create a 1.1.9 with a couple of smaller fixes like this one, or if I should just work on 1.2.0 instead which will be a more thorough change but which may take me some more time). * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-youtube-lyte-enable-fullscreen-button-automatically/#post-3095986) * [I just released version 1.1.9](http://blog.futtta.be/2012/10/16/wp-youtube-lyte-waiting-for-the-big-leap-forwards/) which adds the “allowfullscreen” attribute.
