== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Shadowbox/Fancybox/Thickbox doesn't work properly. What's wrong? =
Check if your current Theme has both wp_head() in header.php and wp_footer() in footer.php. Both are usually required for these scripts to function properly. Also note that some plugins aren't buddies and create conflicts with each other; try disabling the plugins for the effects you don't use.
= Can I make the thumbnails bigger? =
The thumbnails are displayed as big as YouTube supply them. If you want to make them bigger you can try changing the included CSS-file youtube_simplegallery.css.
= Thumbnails aren't working, I only get a gray video icon. What's up? =
Both YouTube and WordPress are in continual development, and they sometimes change things faster than YouTube SimpleGallery can keep up with. Check to see if there's a newer version of YouTube SimpleGallery available. If not, report the problem on the plugin website or in the WP forums.
