Regarding Bithchute and others which use iframes

[Bobcat]

Utilizing the “iframe” which many of these new streams incorporate really increases the page load. Is there away around this. I am wanting to use an image or a test link to initiate the lightbox.

Hi Bob, yes you can initiate a light box with iframe content from a link or button.

1. First, activate the iFrame option on Settings > Media. Once activated you may modify preferred light box sizes if you need to.

2. Then go to edit the page, post or the sidebar where you wish to create your link or button.

3. Insert an HTML block or widget and paste the following code:

<a href="#" class="fancybox-iframe button">LINK TEXT</a>

4. Replace the # in the href attribute with the URL that you would use in a normal iframe embed (the src attribute) and the LINK TEXT with whatever text you want to appear.

Save your post/page/widget and test 🙂

Note that the class “button” was added in the hope that it is a class that is defined in your theme stylesheet. If it’s not, you can open your theme Customizer and define it yourself in Custom CSS. See button example.

Unable to post using the code tags. how can I show you the examples I’ve tried? Do you have Skype?

Unfortunately the steps I followed did not work for me. I often use either text or an image which includes button images. When I post using html code and use the open and close code tags, then hit the submit, the post vanishes.

Hi, sorry that is not supposed to happen… I’ll have to check what is going wrong with posting code on the forum.

In the mean time, please send your files to support@status301.net
