[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] FLV video not displaying – only get white box

Looks like you removed the example which means I can’t help.

HI…. not sure i understand what you mean “removed the example.”

I just checked the Welcome post (which is sticky) and it has the following:

[flv]https://www.arizonaslimbeats.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/videos/intro.flv[/flv]

Please advise…. would love to be able to use this plugin. Just not sure what i’m doing or not doing….

thanks…appreciate your help.

I didn’t realize you weren’t showing videos on the homepage. I see it now.

Please edit the post and then switch to the HTML view and double check your post. I see a bunch of extra HTML that shouldn’t be there and it’s breaking the URL to the video file.

wow… who would have thought that a couple of <p> </p> tags would cause so much trouble!

thanks a bunch for your time and help, it’s much appreciated.

One more question ??

The video only works with i open the Welcome post itself https://arizonaslimbeats.com/wordpress/archives/11

Is there a way to get it to play on the main page (without having to click on the post)? I was hoping that the video would start once someone entered the site.

Your theme is likely using the_excerpt() (which strips HTML tags) instead of the_content() in it’s index.php.

Hi

I have the same problem. Video only shows in post not on the main page. On main page I only get the link, a white box and some code.
Have looked in the index.php but can′t find any “excerpt()”. Here is the example: myldring.com, post nr 4.

thanx for helping out!

Try switching to the default theme and disabling all plugins temporarily.

I switched to default theme and then everything seems to work fine, video shows up at main page too. But switching back to my custom theme and the same problem again. Have any idea for a solution for this?

thanx!

Not sure, sorry. It’s hard to know without seeing your theme’s source code.

hi

I′m happy to post source code if you still want to help. What kind of code do you need to see?

Appreciate you helping out!

I think posting the source of your index.php file to pastebin.com should be helpful, as would a link to your site so I can see it for myself.

here is the index.php; https://pastebin.com/RrsQCbK3
the site is https://www.myldring.com

art_post() is what’s outputting your post and is likely using the_excerpt(). The only solution is to go find where art_post() is defined (probably in your functions.php) and change out the excerpt call.

here is my functions.php code; https://pastebin.com/mvNuQyd3 But could not find where to change the excerpt call.
