Video background on the front page

[sohappyme1]

Hi guys, i have just downloaded one cool plug in to get video playing in the background, but it does not seem to be working on the theme front page. the plug in allows me to choose header or body options but I take that sweet date is made up of sections? Any ideas how could i getit working. Plug in allows short code tobe placed too, but this does not get it working either….

Thanks alot in advance

Hi Laura, thanks for your reply – i have added video on my main page by creating a post and then adding a shortcode to the front page content. Changed size, got it centered so it looks fab and no need for extra effort. I found it quicker and easier. Thanks so much anyway 🙂 You guys are great 🙂

Anyone wanting just video on your main/any page:
1.create new post
2.choose as video content on the right hand sidebar
3.add a link of the video (it will create a shortcode automatically)
4.Copy shortcode
5.Paste it to the wanted location of the page
6.Originally it will appear slightly more to the left so if you want it centered just add <center> [your shortcode] </center>
7.If you want the height and the width changed then add height=”480″ (or any) and width=”800″ (or any) you can place this anywhere within the shortcode so long as it wont break any links and it doesn’t have to be separated by comas or so.
8.if you want your video to play as soon as the page gets opened than in the exact same way add autoplay=”true”
9.If you want for the video to play over and over again by itself then add loop=”true”
10. if you want to make sure that your video will play on all browsers you will need an mp4 fromat video to be uploaded and webm format. Click on the visual button in the right corner where you edit pages, then click on the video and you will imedialy see two icons:1 allows you to edit. Press on it and upload your webm format of the video
11. great thing is to add a poster for your video link, meaning that if the browser (safari, chrome, firefox… etc) can’t or mobile version can not load your video it will show the picture that you will upload instead of a blank video window….
all in all, it should look something like this
<center>
[video src="link to .mp4 video" autoplay="true" loop="true" height="480" width="800" poster="link to you picture gif,png,.jpg" webm="link to your .webm viddeo"][/video]

</center>
p.s if you want to get your video converted to webm you can use vlc player and use its function ‘convert’ or use any of the online conversions
Best luck

Laura, I am not sure if anyone has encoutered this, but posts carousel is not mobile view friendly. It would let you see one of the posts but not more. And it wouldn’t show navigation arrows either. Would you mind advising how to get arrows floating to the left, since on mobile version it would only allow see the very first post, so i think if arrows were to change a location it should show on a screen
Thanks:)

I’m not shocked,those are decent :))

Hi, i think the video file has resolution to small only 980px width and the screens are larger that 980 that cannot be fullwidth.

I’ve installed a captcha plugin but add here requested details : http://server.how-daddy-likes-it.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-recaptcha-bp%2Frecaptcha.php

For forums tabs, try to de-activate the bbpress plugin

Hi,

Sure, please replace this file : wp-content/themes/sweetdate/page-parts/general-register-modal.php with the attached file after you unzip it !

Then add this CSS to your theme options -> styling options -> quick css

COPY CODE

.g-recaptcha { clear: both; width: 100%; margin: 10px 0; }

Hi again…

From what i figure it seems that the error that wise chat shows it’s related to a type of file that it’s not allowed to be uploaded, the plugin author says that it’s not a plugin problem ?

Do you have mentioned that you are trying to upload a gif or png file ? if you upload a jpg file it should work… see the next screenshot with the default allowed extensions for the files, if you are trying to upload other file extensions add them there.

About what register button are you talking about ? screenshot pleasem when i visit your website it shows 404 page in home.. screenshot please

Cheers

Hi,

Take a look at this screenshot please :

It seems that the chat problem it’s caused by the plugin itself I’ve de-activated the sweetdate theme and I’ve activated a default wp theme and same error occurs.

If you have debugg on from wp config set to be false to de-activate it then check if the recpatcha notice disappears
