Just had a major WTF moment when upgrading from v0.8.3 to v1.0. I am sort of glad that I’m not the only one to lose everything that I had set up. Manually relinking every connection is not an option for me. Awesome plugin otherwise, I’m only using it on 2 sites, but it is holding both together well since I reverted back to previous version.

God speed on a fix, sir!

You have to set up Custom Fields for the source files, in my example I used ‘video_image’ for the URL to the poster image, ‘video_mp4’ for the URL to the mp4 source file, then ‘video_webm’ for the URL to the WebM video file. Which gives HTML output like this:

div class="videoWrapper">

    <!--  Begin Video.js   -->
    <video id="example_video_id_746683851" class="video-js vjs-default-skin responsive-video" width="856" height="486" data-setup="[]" preload="none" controls="" poster="https://www.website.com/thumb.jpg">
        <source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.website.com/video.mp4"></source>
        <source type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" src="https://www.website.com/video.webm"></source>
    </video>
    <!-- End Video.js  -->

</div>

Seems there was a conflict with WP3.9 as another plugin was also affected. I reverted to WP3.8.3 and all is well.

May be worth investigating though.

I think you need the help of a developer to get the results you seek. If the terms I’ve used are confusing, then you should steer clear of tampering with any .php files and get/pay an expert to help you.

I’m not the author, I was only trying to help the poster of the original question.

Your test page only shows the code of the shortcode for me.

Sorry @xdios you will have to raise your own issue with the author.

@redwingsearchmarketing

You could paste the code into any page template file, but you’d also have to use ACF plugin to create the fields to paste the information in so that it will appear in the final page or post.

@xdios

I think the plugin author has made it clear that Video.js does not work with YouTube, Vimeo, etc. The URL you are fetching from YouTube is not the same as a URL of an uploaded .mp4 or .webm file to your site.

I was about to report the same, only export does “work” but the file exported refuses to be imported.

e.g. sitename.types.2014-02-25.zip

is downloaded.

Importing that file fails with one error message “Data not valid”.

Expanding the zip creates:

sitename.types.2014-02-25.zip.cpgz

Importing that file offers 3 error messages:

? Error parsing XML
? Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found
? Data not valid

I’m using WP 3.8.1 with Types 1.5.4 on a Mac OSX Mavericks.

I hope that helps you resolve the issue. It would be handy to have a fix right now to save me recreating all the Types manually…

Yes, I’m using do_shortcode to embed video.js into my theme templates combined with Advanced Custom Fields to add uploaded videos and images:

<div class="videoWrapper">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[videojs poster="' . get_field('video_image') . '" mp4="' . get_field('video_mp4') . '" webm="' . get_field('video_webm') . '" width="856" height="486" class="responsive-video"]'); ?>
</div>

Firefox requires .webm format as an alternative to .mp4 (as far as I know).

Hi Darren,

I just had the same issue. Somehow with a recent update to the plugin the permissions for the ‘cache’ folder were reset.

Check the plugin’s ‘Advanced’ tab and see if you get a warning about this.

I had to set permissions to 777 and the CAPTCHA is back to normal on all forms.

I’m glad I was able to help ??

I’ve been working with ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ too and had the same issue.

I did work out a resolution though. I saw in my case that

• CF: address
• CF: city
• CF: etc.

all worked perfectly, but

• CF: food
• CF: links
• CF: website, etc.

did not…

Any custom field name that is labelled alphabetically higher than ‘field’ was resulting in it being named ‘CF: field_5229dbec8dec1’, etc.

So, I appended each ‘Custom Field Name’ with a prefix of “a-“, so I now had:

• CF: a-address
• CF: a-city
• CF: a-food
• CF: a-links
• CF: a-website

I then set up a test post with every custom field having dummy data added which I then published – this ensures your new custom fields are all added to the database.

Ultimate CSV Importer was then used to import all content as intended without any confusion.

It worked perfectly… it just took me a long time to figure out how to get there!

I hope this helps.

@alchymyth

Thank you so much for that code – it works perfectly. Just what I was looking for!
