• I am trying to run FlowPlayer 1.8.1 (the HTML5 version, not Flash) on WordPress 3.8.3 or 3.9 with the Academy theme. I have FlowPlayer installed and activated, and I can create videos. But when I edit a video, Update causes it to become a regular post. Anyone seen this, and have a suggestion on a fix? Or a better choice of HTML5 player?

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Hey Gordon,

    Are you using this theme?

    Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the issue that you are having as I can’t seem to replicate it?

    Yup, that’s the theme. I’ll get some screen captures here in a bit. That’s reassuring that someone is using the same theme with no issues.

    OK, so here is the video at initial creation.
    Then while editing and before clicking Update. Note the Post type is Video.
    And immediatly after clicking update, I end up in the open Post, and the post type is now Post.
    FYI, the same was happening in 3.8.3, and now in 3.9. The site is hosted at WPEngine, not that that should make any difference I wouldn’t think.

    Hey Gordon,

    I am the plugin developer. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/flowplayer5/

    You have a really strange issue here. The best way of finding a solution would be to disable all the of the plugins except Flowplayer HTML5 and then see if the problem exists. If so then change to a default theme and then see what happens. If everything is fine then start activating the plugins one by one and see if one is causing the issue.

    Ulrich,
    well, at least I know it isn’t me imagining things. I did just update the theme, so that might actually improve things, but I suspect at this point I may just abandon FlowPlayer in favor of WP Lightbox Ultimate in any case. I need a decent way to show my videos at original resolution, and Flowplayer was only giving me easy access to small and full screen versions. But I may just throw FlowPlayer back on with the new theme just to see if it’s still broke. Good education for me. ??

    Thanks!
    Gordon
