Youtube / Vimeo videos dont work

Hello Constant,

Please let us know what theme and what other plugins you are using. You can get a whole system report in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Tools -> System Info too.

Please let us know what exact YouTube link you are using.

In free FV Player the Vimeo videos show as their standard embedded players using iframe only.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Constant,

I see you are using Elementor Pro and also a Reign theme which is paid. That limits our ability to test for compatibility issues.

When you say that FV Player is not showing do you mean that:

• you can see the [fvplayer src="..."] shortcode instead
• or that nothing shows

Please disable the “Handle WordPress audio/video” setting of FV Player and try to post a standard WordPress shortcode, like [video src="video-source.mp4"] – will that show the standard WordPress player properly? I’m trying to check if the way you are posting FV Player supports the WordPress shortcode.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Constant,

You mentioned using a shortcode like this:

[video src="video-source.mp4"]

That proves that the WordPress shortcodes in general work. Will a shortcode like this work?

[fvplayer src="video-source.mp4"]

I tried with Elementor on a new WordPress 6.6 website and I did not run into the issue. Are you putting the shortcode into some special Elementor Widget? I had no issues when using any of the following Elementor Widgets on my test page:

• Text Editor
• FV Player
• FV Player within a Grid container
• Shortcode

I’m attaching a screenshot of my page structure in Elementor editor too.

Since you use a fair amount of plugins it’s hard to say what could cause the issue. Please try to insert it to a bare-bones WordPress page without use of Elementor and see if that helps. If it will, then

Thanks,
Martin
