Hi, there is code in your theme's custom.js file that forces all external links (such as YouTube videos) to be opened in a new window. This code stops all other code (such as SLB) from running when a link is clicked.

Removing this code should allow SLB to function normally. If you are still experiencing this issue after removing the code, please post a comment here with additional details and I would be glad to reopen this ticket and take another look.
