HLS Video Checker shows CORS Header error. Wordpress Site, Bluehost.

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › HLS Video Checker shows CORS Header error. Wordpress Site, Bluehost.

  • Ryan R. 4 years, 7 months ago

    Hey Foliovision,

    Super new user, and fairly novice web designer here…. I have the FV Player Pro plugin for WP on my webpage hosted by Bluehost, and am having serious issues getting HLS video to work. I have tried numerous ways to add code to PHP, my htaccess file, and a plugin called “HTTP Headers” with no success. Can you help?

    Here are the results from video checker:

    Hello Ryan,

    I had a look and it seems that you figured it out. You are using Cloudflare, so you probably had to allow it there as well.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thanks for the response, Martin! I have no idea how it remedied itself between today and yesterday, because I didn’t knowingly make any changes, but I’m glad it did!
