Slight Compatibility Issue?

    I think there is a slight compatibility issue between the plugin, our theme, or maybe the page builder specifically (Visual Composer). What is showing now, and what you can see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ml9ozipxci3sjqa/wp-yt-lyte.png?dl=0, https://www.dropbox.com/s/vtro1b3tr8m7rja/wp-yt-lyte2.png?dl=0, is actually a gap element with a height of “20”. For some reason, the gap element code is being rendered on the front-end. And it is only the element that is directly next to the WP YouTube Lyte element. I would really like to use this plugin to help with site performance, but actually have to deactivate it until I can figure things out. I haven’t deactivated each plugin one-by-one yet. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction beforehand. ?? I do know that it isn’t W3 Total Cache. I deactivated and reactivated that plugin with no change at all. I can also reactivate and recreate the issue in a few minutes if need be. Has anybody seen this before or know of a fix? Thank you in advance for your help! I appreciate it.

    If you can (re-)enable WP YouTube Lyte, only adding an httpv-link in one (less popular/ visible) page, then I can have a look in the HTML source & Firefox developer tools to see what is causing this.

    Hi Frank,

    Thank you for taking the time. I really appreciate it. Ok, I reactivated WP YouTube Lyte, and added an element, as well as another “10” gap element on this page. https://www.easytracgps.com/fleet-contact-form/. You will see them both on the bottom right-hand corner. Thanks again!

    Best Regards,

    ok, and can you also:
    * copy/paste the code (incl. the VC gap) as you entered it in the editor?
    * have the same VC gap code beneath a normal youtube player on another page?

    Frank,

    I think I’ve figured out a workaround. I wasn’t adding the VC gaps using shortcode, I was simply selecting and adding the element itself from the available VC choices.

    What I did was delete the gap directly beneath the httpv text element, and then I re-added that very same gap using shortcode, within the same text element as the lyte video link. That seems to have solved the issue. There are minor alignment things now, but I’m accounting for those by making slight CSS adjustments to margins and padding.

    On a separate note, and I’m sure the answer is most likely a simple one. But is there a mechanism to alter video sizes on a per page basis? For example, the video on our homepage was previously 400w x 280h. I’ve swapped the normal youtube code for the lyte code, but I lost the option to specify the iframe size in the embed code.

    Other pages on our site will use different video frame sizes as well, so it would be nice to be able to specify. Thank you for your help!

    Kind Regards,

    great you’ve got the VC-thing sorted out!

    regarding video size; the size of a lyte-vid depends on 2 things; the size set in the options-page and the width of the container element. So assuming you set a standard width of 640, you can make it 400 by wrapping the http-v code in a div with style=”width:400px” and the lyte-vid will automatically adjust.

    have fun!

    Awesome! Thanks Frank. I really appreciate the help. Oh, and one other thing. Just for those other unsuspecting souls that might run into something similar. I was driving myself crazy having issues with the div content. That was until I remembered that I had previously added a page specific CSS rule for the lyte-vid that was overriding my div style width. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. And then….facepalm! So, for those of you that are troubleshooting any issues, be wary of code conflicts for any workarounds that you’ve already tried. Just food for thought. Thanks again!

    Best Regards,
