Permalinks flash

  • I have a site using wordpress and it has a flash banner in the header.

    The problem I’m having is that the flash only shows up on the home page when using permalinks.

    The permalink being used is /%category%/%postname%/

    If the permalinks are removed the flash will run on ever page.

    the code for the flash is as follows:

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="623" height="244">
  <param name="movie" value="https://www.evolution-photography.co.uk/wp-content/themes/corelab/slide_flash8.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="https://www.evolution-photography.co.uk/wp-content/themes/corelab/slide_flash8.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="623" height="244"></embed>
</object>

    I assume its the link in here that needs editing but I don’t know what with?

    I tried doing this instead but it pretty much had the same problem.

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="623" height="244">
  <param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/slide_flash8.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/slide_flash8.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="623" height="244"></embed>
</object>

    This problem seems quite unique, several days of searching the web hasnt revealed any answers so if anyone out there has a flash component and uses wordpress permalinks i’d be very grateful for some information! I’m really stuck here.

    You’re running into this issue because of relative paths.
    Add a base h ref in your header file just before </head> tag.

    <head>
<base href="https://www.yoursite.com/" />
</head>

    This should fix your issue.

    Thanks,
