Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Space Lightplay

No. Before the click, only a static preview image and a small CSS file are loaded. The iframe, along with all associated scripts from YouTube, is injected only after the visitor presses Play.

Yes. In the block sidebar under "Video", click "Upload preview image" and select any image from your Media Library. To revert to the automatic thumbnail, click "Remove".

Yes. Space Lightplay is a standard Gutenberg block and works in the post editor, the site editor, and any context that supports WordPress blocks.

No. Space Lightplay does not create any options, custom tables, or transients. Deactivating and deleting the plugin leaves your database clean.

This was a known issue in earlier development. The current version uses aspect-ratio: 1 and flex-shrink: 0 to guarantee a perfect circle regardless of your theme's CSS.
