Lightview Plus is a wordpress plug-in which integrates Lightview into your wordpress blog and automatically changes all image links, so the images will open with lightview. Now, it is possible to show videos from YouTube and Vimeo with lightview.
Installation
- Copy the lightview-plus directory to the wordpress plug-in directory under /wp-content/
- Download Lightview javascript and decompress it
- Copy the directories „css“, „images“ and „js“ of the decompressed folder to /wp-content/plugins/lightview-plus/
- Activate the plug-in in the plug-in menu
- That’s it!
Update
To backup the lightview javascript on update, it is possible to activate a backup function in the options menu.
Embed Images
- Choose an image of your choice, as you have done it in wordpress many times
- Create a link with this image to a bigger version of this image
- All the rest is done from lightview-plus automatically

FAQ
Nothing is opened with lightview?
In you theme the <?php wp_head(); ?> is missing. Please, add it.
Images are still not opened with lightview!
Maybe an other plug-in uses jQuery or an older version of prototype oder scriptaculous. Deactivate the plug-ins or let me know if you found an alternative.
I added images to my text, but they are not clickable and they are not shown with lightview.
You have to create a link to the image. E. g. create a link from the image to the same image or a bigger one.
Is there a jQuery version of lightview?
I am not the author of lightview. I have done a wrapper for wordpress. Please, ask the author of lightview and let me know about the alternative.
Lightview does not work in browser xy on OS yz. / How do I change the display of lightview?
I have no look into the lightview javascript code. Please, ask the author of lightview.
Current Version
The actual version is v3.1. Now, it supports YouTube, blip.tv and Vimeo videos.

Hi.
I downloaded the lastest version of lightview and lightview plus.
1. Added lightview plus folder to the plugins-folder.
2. Copied css, images, js — folders from lightview and put directly into lightview plus.
3. Activated the plugin on my wordpress page
4. Used the Embedd Video button
5. got the code: [vimeo 1573042]
But nothing happends. Any step I have missed?
Maybe an other plugin you use, use the same shortcode. Then it doesn’t work.
Hello, is there away to crop the video thumbnail so that it appears in a widescreen or 16×9 format instead of a square format as it does now? The black bars at the top and bottom of the thumbnails are very unattractive.
-Thanks!
The plugin shows the video thumbnails as it get it direct from youtube or vimeo
Hi
Trying to add blip.tv video as advised in Embed Video and Find out the Video ID
and got [bliptv id_from_blip] but it gives me pink field and:
Provider: Blip.TV
Title: Not Found
Thumbnail URL: http://a.images.blip.tv/
Embed URL: ?autoStart=true
Link:
Width: 0 px
Height: 0 px
Got data @: 30.9.2012 16:48:35
on my page.
And advise?
Blip.TV changed their API and it doesn’t work anymore. Sorry for that.
Hi, this plugin is pretty cool.
Since WP 3.4, WP has added the ability to auto embed video when the user put the link on the post editor.
Will the plugin be able to automatically add lightbox to the auto embed video?
If not, it’d great if you can add that feature to this plugin (let say having a setting in settings page the ability for user to enable or disable the video to automatically be in the lightview)
I took this on my looong todo list. If I get more time, I will see what I can do
Hi Thorston,
great plugin, thanks! But I can’t figure out how to get the video to display in a large lightview window as it does in your example. There are settings to change the preview size, but not the actual video size, so mine always displays very small, despite being a full HD video. Can you tell me how you did that? I am embedding from youtube.
Thanks!
Billy.
Oops, just realised it’s in the options, I thought the two values were for width and height! But I do have another question. Is it possible to specify different values (preview width/video width) for individual videos? Can I add the values into the short-code to override default settings?
many thanks!
Billy.
quando clico no botão de embed do plugin me é retornado um erro

Thorsten, I have an interesting problem that I can’t figure out.
On this one post, when you click on the first image „YouTube Masthead Unit“, Lightview is in default mode. When you click the third image „Sample Wallpaper Image“, Lightview is using my custom settings from Lightview Plus.

Can you shed some light on my problem?
I was able to change the Lightview script and add some custom code to header.php that matches my Lightview Plus settings.
But I still don’t understand why the type iframe was not utilizing the Lightview Plus settings. Here’s the href post code it was ignoring:
class=„lightview“ data-lightview-type=„iframe“
