You have probably used the wrong form of the YouTube URL. If you used something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3kFn_3xRY that will disaply the YouTube website and not just the video. To just get the video use a link that looks like http://www.youtube.com/v/3D3kFn_3xRY.

The first thing you will need to do is to download shadowbox.js source from the github repository: http://github.com/mjijackson/shadowbox/downloads Second modify and build as required, then follow the next 2 FAQs for using a custom shadowbox.js and a custom shadowbox.css. I will not tell you how to build shadowbox, you can find that information in the source download. You do not necessarily have to do both. It is possible to only load a custom markup or only a custom css.

You can follow the steps outlined in the 'How can I use my own shadowbox.js' and 'How can I use my own shadowbox.css?' or you can manually download and extract as explained by the plugin.

Follow the steps outlined in the 'How can I use my own shadowbox.js' and 'How can I use my own shadowbox.css?'.

This can be accomplished using filters. You will need to run a filter on 'shadowbox-js'; and here is some sample code to show you how: function custom_shadowbox_js($url) { return get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/js/shadowbox.js'; } add_filter('shadowbox-js', 'custom_shadowbox_js'); Just drop that code, modifying to your needs, in a custom plugin or mu-plugin and enjoy.

Just as above this can be accomplished using filters. You will need to run a filter on 'shadowbox-css'; and here is some sample code to show you how: function custom_shadowbox_css($url) { return get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/css/shadowbox.css'; } add_filter('shadowbox-css', 'custom_shadowbox_css'); Just drop that code, modifying to your needs, in a custom plugin or mu-plugin and enjoy.

Yes. However this functionality requires WordPress 2.8. If you are running WordPress 2.8 and you would like to enable this functionality visit Settings -> Shadowbox JS and set Enable Smart Loading to true.
