Hi. Here’s the settings screencap video. I added new settings like lightbox and overlay and play button. I’ll check out lazy load. That could be from the theme. I’ll check it out. Remember from the earlier video that the error message was “www.youtube.com refuses to connect.” https://mega.nz/file/sp1xHbzT#54hr-ewVcmteG1_u8pRneh-e_geyRkeflcGshaZ3tuw

OK. My theme is Bricks, which is also a theme builder. If necessary, I can put “post content”, title, and meta in a container within the blog post template and tag the container. But yeah, being able to do that in Gutenberg would be great. Thanks.

It’s just a collection of links, in seemingly random order. Making first-time users guess the order in which learn things (based on video titles) is hard on the user. I’m a techie. Not new to web development. A good process that saves people time on the learning curve is essential. I’ll send you a link to a page with your video box on it later. I thought you just wanted a video demonstrating the error message for that. Thanks.

I highly recommend giving people guidance on how to begin the learning curve. Step 1. Step 2. Etc etc etc. In the other thread, you gave me two resources for getting started. That’s great. Make sure everyone else gets those two resources, too, if those are the fundamentals. Otherwise, people will have to make guesses about which of your YouTube videos will be most relevant, if they even know you have any videos. What you need is not just video and text documentation, but a sequence of steps to follow. Once they have the basics, then can come a “How to make a hero section” and things like that (here’s a great example of good teaching style that provides a solid foundation for design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84CUO-tpEMk). That’s after they know whether to start with a row block, a container block, a grid lock, or whatever they need to start with, and how to prepare the theme to allow for the basic functions of the plugin to work.

Thanks for the resources. You say you already provided them, but there were only two threads and you don’t post anything in either of them until now. That’s why documentation is important. There is a YouTube channel. I wouldn’t have known which video to watch first. About video playback, do you know what’s causing that error? It says YouTube refuses to connect. It also creates weird errors when using browser checking tools and also within Gutenberg. Sometimes I get a message in Gutenberg that a block is invalid because that video element is in it. Thanks.

Actually, here’s the video link: https://mega.nz/file/goMiCCAS#LnIjhRwnnBVlCzTsePUvIOn_uiUguXkc8nCj2TumVvY

Hi. I have a screencap video of the alignment problems for containers and video problems. It’s 90MB. Where should I send it and should I compress it more? Thanks.

When I have time, I’ll make a container and screencap it with video so you can see the process. Containers only justify left.

About the video block, I enabled overlay and chose the lightbox option. It works. Is there a way to position the video within the lightbox? I still have the problem with the video not connecting to YouTube.

Thanks.

Hi. I’m familiar with flexbox because I use Bricks Builder. Not everything in your UI for flexboxes is intuitive. The documentation you linked to is for flexbox in general, and not anything specific to your interface. I find it very easy to work with flexbox using Bricks.

Thanks. It’s showing now. In Chrome, it’s acting like the fields were already filled in, and that the username and email are already taken. Those error messages show as soon as it’s displayed.

Hi. I only turned on Ajax when you asked me to. Similar problem with or without Ajax. It just changes the browsers that have the problem.

Hi. Caching is not the problem. I tested it WITHOUT caching. If caching was the issue, I would not have opened this thread. Thanks.

UPDATE: I enabled ajax loading. This caused it to have that same problem on Chrome, both mobile and desktop. It did the same in Opera desktop. Nothing but overlay color. It fixed the problem on Slimjet and FF desktop, but it added a new problem. Now, when the popup opens, each signup field shows:

Username can not be left blank.
Please enter valid data.
This username is already registered, please choose another one.
This username is invalid. Please enter a valid username.

Yes. It’s the “Click On Me” button, or whatever it says, at the bottom of the homepage at https://www.deepermeditation.net. Scroll all the way.

I figured out the problem, and I’m opening a new thread for another problem. This one was that the “documentation” and the “more” were right on top of each other. They occupied almost the exact same space. Clicking “more” just triggered a documentation popup. It did that in every browser.
