Still having video toubles….

  • I’ve read thru several of the forums concerning videos not showing up on your web page or blog and still have not been able to figure this one out.
    First I should say that I am hosting my WordPress site at my hosting service provider. The site is https://www.propheticflow.org
    I’ve created a dedicated folder for my videos under my wp-content folder called ‘videos’
    Placed a test video in it.
    Then thru the dashboard tried to embed the video into a new web page aptly named ‘Videos’ under a ‘Missions’ page….
    When I go to view the page it shows me the video box and the play button is there. When I play the video I see an error that says ‘File not found or access is denied’
    Can anyone help me out here? I don’t know what I’m missing.

  • try chmod 777 on /wp-content
    do another upload
    should work
    chmod folder back to 755

    In the first part of this will the chmod 777 happen to ALL files and folders within the wp-content folder? And if so… how do I chmod back to 755 on the folder (wp-content) only….
    Thanks

    you can use an ftp client or your hosts’ file manager to chmod the folders – wouldn’t hurt to do them all for one time – it should work at the secure 755 chmod after an upload

    OK.. I’ll try it again. I’ve changed the permissions to 777 and will leave it there for now…. if I get the video working I’ll change the folder back to 755.

    Still no go. I’ve tried to change the mod and it seems to have worked… in a limited fashion. It’s not changing all the directories below the wp-content directory. I’ve tried changing some of them manually and even changing the permissions on the video itself… nothing… still get that stupid ‘Video not found or access is denied’… I don’t get it.
