Kimili Flash Embed Broken

  • I upgraded the Kimili Flash Embed plugin from version 2.3.2 to 2.4.0 and was running WordPress 3.8 in February 2014 and the flash file on my home page was working correctly.

    I have since upgraded to WordPress version 3.9.1 and now the flash embed is broken on my home page here: https://emanu-el.org/

    It loads in Firefox on my mac but not in any other browsers (Safari, Chrome) or Firefox on my coworker’s window’s computers.

    This is the embed code I have been using on the home page for years:

    [kml_flashembed movie=”https://emanu-el-stage.org/wp-content/themes/revolution-20/home_image/banner.swf” width=”380″ height=”320″ align=”left”/]

    We have 2 domain names registered and the subdomain (emanu-el-stage.org) is referenced in the code above. But i have tried using the primary domain (emanu-el.org) but it still doesn’t load in any browsers.

    I tried to upload the .swf file to the WP media library but get a security error.

    I also use similar flash embed code on the gallery page here (https://emanu-el.org/photo-video-galleries/) and that is working no problem. Does this mean it could be a problem with the .swf file I am linking too on the home page vs. a plugin or wordpress issue? If so, is it a coincidence that it happened after I upgraded WordPress?

    Please help.

    Just found the solution by reading though many support threads.

    This was an issue with the shortcode I placed in my home.php file (outside the post editor).

    I had to use:
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[acx_slideshow name=”Homepage Carousel” height=”320px” width=”380px” align=”left”]’); ?>

    instead of:
    [acx_slideshow name=”Homepage Carousel” height=”320px” width=”380px” align=”left”]

    // Use this shortcode in PHP files.
    echo do_shortcode(‘[gallery]‘);

    That gallery has nothing to do with Kimli Flash Embed.

    You are right! The shortcode in my last post references “Simple Slideshow Manager” instead of “Kimli”.

    I still thought it was important to post my solution for others even though it ended up having nothing to do with Kimli.

    It turned out that my problem was not with Kimli or any other plugin but with my shortcode placed in my home.php file.

    I discovered this, when I decided to use Simple Slideshow Manager instead of Kimli (because it functions on mobile devices unlike Kimli)

    I now use the shortcode below no matter what plugin I am using.

    / Use this shortcode in PHP files.
    echo do_shortcode(‘[gallery]‘);

    The Kimili plugin generated the short code based on the individual page/post Flash embed.

    Actually the alternative content does display on an iPhone.

    Yep and as I said in my other posts it is necessary to use the below shortcode in .php files and not the plugin generated shortcodes.

    echo do_shortcode(‘[gallery]‘);

    I disagree with your iphone statement because I tested the home page (https://emanu-el.org/) that I used the Simple Slideshow Manager on from my iphone 5C, ipod and kindle fire and it runs perfectly from all devices!

    That is why I decided to use it instead of Kimli after testing them both.
