Installed WordPress 4.5 – YouTube Video Disappeared!

I’ve just tried it, and it works fine from here. Maybe it’s something in your local caching that’s blocking it.

Thanks very much for your help. Do you mean that you see the video?

Yes, I could see it just fine.

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. I cannot see the video on any device. I updated WordFence at the same time that I updated to WordPress 4.5 so will check that plug in to see if it is the problem.

I just took a look at your site using Google Chrome browser on PC and the video did not display for me. On inspecting the code I found this line of code in the HTML:
<style type="text/css"> iframe { visibility: hidden; opacity: 0; } </style>
Once I removed it, the video became visible in the bottom right footer. As the line suggests, it is “hiding” the video and setting the opacity to 0.

Hope that helps!

Just wanted to add that the surrounding div is:
<div class="fusion-youtube-flash-fix"> ... </div>

Also, because you are using Avada theme please request support at https://theme-fusion.com/support/

Hi Keith! This is super helpful. Thanks so very much. The video is visible again! I came here to WordPress to find an answer because the video had been working for a month and then disappeared as soon as I updated to WordPress 4.5. Thanks again!!! Christine

I’m having the same problem. My site is https://judithevabarsi.com. The videos I have for pages like Baby Kickie will not display no matter what theme I use ever since I upgraded a few days ago. What’s wrong with my coding and how do I fix it? Please advise. Thanks!

I Updated another website with WordPress 4.5 and it also caused problems with photos and videos. It was a nightmare so I am not going to update any of my other 30+ websites with WordPress 4.5.

Are they all running the latest version of Avada?

Hi James: We have 3.8.7 Avada. The only variable on the video and image disappearance is the updating to WordPress 4.5. Do you know why?

That’s definitely not the latest version, so you’ll have to update.

What you’re reporting is more than likely related to https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list?replies=7&view=all#post-8271654

The short version is that some theme and plugin developers weren’t using jQuery properly, and jQuery was recently updated to “fix” that, thus breaking the method some theme and plugin developers were using. WordPress 4.5 includes that newer version of jQuery.

A fix for this was implemented in Avada 3.9.4, and the latest version of Avada is 4.0.1.

Wow. You are very very bright, James! Thanks so very much. I am just downloading Avada 4.01 from Theme Forest and will begin updating the Avada Theme and will then try one update to WordPress 4.5. Thanks again!

You’re welcome!

Thanks James. I had same problem with Avada. Updating theme will solve problem.
If someone need quick fix (for older version), before updating theme, you can remove:
//do_action( 'avada_before_main' );

Line 248:
wp-content/themes/Avada/header.php

This hook will print:
<div class="fusion-youtube-flash-fix"> <style type="text/css"> iframe { visibility: hidden; opacity: 0; } </style> </div>

Hope someone find this useful.
