# YouTube Lightbox & SSL/HTTPS

 * Video lightbox is a large blank white square on our SSL-enabled website. I have
   read that this plugin supports HTTPS for YouTube but I can’t seem to enable it.
   In the website markup it shows `<iframe src="http://youtube.com/embed/[...]` 
   I tried locating the declaration of `{path}` to change that to an HTTPS link,
   but unable to find it. When I manually change http to https in Web Inspector,
   the video appears.
 * Any help?

 * Hi wptipsntricks!
 * I don’t think the issue has been resolved so far. I used several codes recommended
   by users for this plugin, ultimately its not working with HTTPS domains. Probably
   this functionality is not available in free version of this plugin rather someone
   who is frustrated may go for the paid version “Lightbox Ultimate”.
 * If this is not true kindly help me fix the issue. You may see white background

 * Hey everyone. I know it’s been nearly a year since I posted this original thread.
   I ended up hard-coding an HTTPS reference inside the plugin files. It worked 
   for me, but I have to make sure to keep adding that HTTPS reference every time
   I update the plugin.
 * If anyone’s interested, I can post where that line of code is located. Though
   it was pretty easy to find.
 * Good luck! 🙂
