Sure – it’s a bi-lingual site (using WPML), and the side that’s particularly giving us problems is in Ukrainian. Here is the page:

https://www.horizonlviv.org/zakhidnakonferentsija2014/

(Here is the English version of the page so that you can know what you’re looking at – https://www.horizonlviv.org/westernconference2014/ )

Of course, obviously, the site it https://www.horizonlviv.org

Can we mark this one “Resolved” then? (You need to do that, domain 1)

Did he ever email you? That’d be a shame to leave this 1* for user error… ??

It should. What I would do is this:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Create a post with a video in it using the plugin.
3. Make sure that looks like you would want it to be on the home page.
4. Go to the “Text” side of the post editor and copy all of the HTML there.
5. Create a Text Widget and put it in the widget area where you want the video to be.
6. Paste the HTML into the text widget.
7. Delete your post.
8. Check to see if everything works and reply back on this forum. ?? ??

BTW – That’s why I love CSS, because it is THAT EASY! ?? ?? ??

There are 2 things that could happen:
1. This could slow down your site a little (because it’s loading unneeded code but not actually using that unneeded code).
2. Depending on how you did it in CSS, it could cause something else to disappear when you don’t want it to (because CSS rules can apply to multiple different elements). What did you change?

Here is a good article on it, but if you don’t know basic CSS and HTML, it won’t make much sense. – https://www.creativebloq.com/responsive-web-design/build-basic-responsive-site-css-1132756

If you want to learn how to code in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, etc., I recommend CodeAcademy. https://www.codecademy.com/ They’ll get you the basics down, and they’ll do it in style. ?? ??

It looks like this plugin may work for what you’re trying to do. It creates a thumbnail and a “lightbox” (that pop-up thing that moves to the middle of the screen and plays your video) for your videos. Here is the link – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-video-lightbox/

Now, I’ve never used that plugin, so I don’t know how well it works, but there are good reviews on its page.

As a side note – I hate pop-ups, songs that automatically play, and videos that automatically play on a site. You may want to just let the user have the option to play it instead of forcing them to watch it every time they visit your site.

What did you create the image in? Like the other two said, it looks like you’re trying to upload a Microsoft Word document as an image, but those are two different things. If you make the image in something like Picasa, Gimp, Inkscape, etc., it’ll be a lot easier for you.

Hey, there! Can you post a link to your website? It’s a lot easier to understand if I can see what’s going on (sorry… visual thinker here… ?? :D)

Could you send a link to your homepage? I’d like to take a look at it. You should be able to accomplish that with a plugin.

If you want something that’s a little less intrusive, you might be able to just “display: none;” it in CSS. It’s really easy, and it’s very hard to break something there. Can you post a link to the page?

Having it render correctly on your iPhone is something that could be helped by what’s called “Responsive Styling” in CSS. You do that by editing your “style.css” file. Basic changes there only affect the appearance of your site, so it’s a lot safer than editing the PHP files.

Do you have any experience with CSS?

I now use instead the “slideshow” plugin because the old one isn’t working anymore.

I forgot – this is a link to my site https://www.scarletthreadmedia.com/horizonlviv-oldversion/?lang=en
