I wanted to make a gallery with both images and videos. I used SimpLy's plugin for that (Gallery Blocks with Lightbox. Image Gallery, (HTML5 video , YouTube, Vimeo) Video Gallery and Lightbox for native gallery). It works all well and good in the backend, but frontend it displays video as blank. I can play that, but then only the sound starts playing. I have provided a page also for that, that includes one video and one image in the gallery. I am using your Salient theme and I have verified with the plugins author that it gotta do something with the theme. I have tried disabling all the plugins and stuff, but no luck. I know that my support time is over for my purchase, but I have never ever contacted and use the support before. Maybe you can help? :)
Oh, it must've worked then, right now it works for me, too. I forgot to clear the cache after I made some changes, that's why I guess it didn't show up.
We do not support issues with third party plugins. However I believe this could be a case of plugin conflicts on the css files. We may not tell how this happens because when a third party is introduced then inconsistencies are bound to occur.
Instead of modifying the style.css file, you can also add the following into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.pgc-rev-slider-page-view video {
visibility: visible;
}

Hey maart_k,
Currently, I am able to see the video when opening the lightbox from your test page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ys5ch64g0qjygm/2021-09-24%2009-16-26.mp4?dl=0
If you're not able to see the same, please let me know which browser/OS you're using.
Kind regards,

What I did:
The plugin author discovered, that in the theme style.css file, there is a code: video, audio visibilty: hidden. (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/videos-wont-show-on-the-frontend/#post-14905260)
I changed the style.css file, so ir would say visibilty:visible.
But I don't know, I feel i got just lucky here. And I guess after the theme updates, I have to do it again. Any more permanent solutions? Thanks :)
