Hi Nize,
I have trouble believing that nothing happened when you changed the canvas background. Moreover, the player does work in Firefox. It looks like there is an issue with your videos or with your install.
If you would like to contact us privately we would be happy to test FV Flowplayer 5 on your servers.
Hi Bryan,
I’ve checked the branding. It should not be any different than version 1. I just did a fresh update myself and did run into some issues which I was able to solve by turning off Convert old shortcodes with commas:
Convert old shortcodes with commas: False
More with discussion here: http://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/i-updated-to-21-and-now-flowplayer-stopped-working-only-displays-splash-image
I’m sorry for the issues you’ve been facing.
Hi Gentlemen,
Thanks for your reports. I’ve just tried a clean upgrade on a site I run as an end user, doing an auto-upgrade from the WordPress repository.
After updating, I too had trouble as well on Uncoy.com with the splash screen being too large and not being able to start the video. The post includes an .mp4 video.
I changed one of the default options:
Convert old shortcodes with commas: False
I initially removed the splash screen (showed up too large) and the size parameters but once I changed the option above, I was able to add the splash screen back AND the size parameters.
I changed the [flowplayer src='path.mp4'] to [fvplayer src='path.mp4'] by hand.
We need to get the default options set right and hide the ones which really shouldn’t be played with. At Foliovision we prefer simple software with intelligent defaults, so I’m not quite sure what persuaded me to allow all of those features to go into FV Flowplayer 5.
Here’s a screenshot with the working settings.

Let me know if this helps anyone else.
Thanks for using FV Plugins! I’m very sorry for these issues.
Hi Joel,
We did a lot of testing before release so we are surprised to see these issues.
FV Flowplayer v2 works well for us in all browsers and with flash fallback and in all mobile devices. Really a super upgrade, giving flash fallback and much better mobile performance.
FV Flowplayer’s lead developer suffered a bike accident on release day (broken arm) so we are not able to troubleshoot people’s sites in real time (as we normally would do on release).
We’ll be in touch to help you through the upgrade next week. Your environment sounds like a very good test as you have some non-standard but common technology there.
Thanks for using FV Plugins!

Hi Joel,
With the issues you are facing, I’d recommend you temporarily downgrade to version 1.2.7 if it’s a live site.
To revert to the most recent version, you can download it here.
For your future reference, all previous versions of all WordPress plugins are available under the Developer tab.
We’ll be in touch with you directly about helping you with the upgrade to the HTML 5 version next week.
Thanks for letting us know about your issues.
11 years ago in reply to: Rollover display of control barHi GT,
The new version is out:
We have released the FV Flowplayer v2 including Flowplayer 5 engine.
FV WordPress Flowplayer plugin is a free, easy-to-use, and complete solution for embedding FLV or MP4 videos into your posts or pages. With MP4 videos, FV WordPress Flowplayer offers 98% coverage even on mobile devices.
- FV Flowplayer 5 is the only completely responsive WordPress video player.
- Custom start and end screens are built right in. You can use your own custom design before and after the video.
- Enjoy unlimited instances in a single page.
- No expensive plugins: unlike other players who nickel and dime you for every feature, with FV Flowplayer all advanced features are available in the standard license (Google Analytics, Cuepoints, Native fullscreen, Keyboard shortcuts, Subtitles, Slow motion, Random seeking, Retina ready)
- Beautiful playlists which you can skin with CSS.
- Ultra-efficient player: just 43kB of JavaScript and 4kB of Flash code. You can extend Flowplayer using just HTML and CSS, leaving the JavaScript heavy lifting up to us.
- 98% Browser coverage. Built-in Flash fallback will get the job done on older browsers.
- Full support for Amazon S3 and other CDN’s.

HI Dorich,
Sorry for the late reply. The forum notifications were going to someone on our team who is ill! What can go wrong, will go wrong.
Great that you were able to solve the issue and thank you for posting your solution.
If you run into any other issues, let us know. We are here to help!
Making the web work for you, Alec
PS. If you’d ever like to revert to the previous version, you can download it here.
For your future reference, all previous versions of all WordPress plugins are available under the Developer tab.
Hi Bryan,
BTW, it’s a pity you updated your codes right away as I don’t think the version 1 works with the new codes (I asked our main developer not to encourage updating the codes, but I’m not sure if the version which got released did encourage updating the codes).
You can revert the codes with Search Regex plugin (which Foliovision also had a hand in developing) or via reverting your database.
Again, we’d be happy to work with you to make version 2 work for your site.

Hi Bryan,
We would like to try to replicate this behaviour and make sure it doesn’t happen anymore.
We will look at the branding. It’s not supposed to be intrusive.
For version 1 of our Flowplayer plugin, we were forced to remove the branding free version by WordPress as Otto is a buddy of Tero Piirainen and believe it or not our plugin was pulled from the WordPress plugin directory for not including the front end branding (as far as I know GPL 2 products can’t demand front end branding, but if you have friends in the right places they can).
For version 2 based on Flowplayer 5 we have paid for a platform license which we allows us to do what we like with the branding. Flowplayer 5 is much better for mobile devices, for which there is more and more demand.
You can continue to use either v1 of our plugin or v2 of our plugin for free.
Making the web work for you, Alec
Hi Nize,
I’m sorry you are having issues with FV Flowplayer 5. If you could send us a sample page we’d be happy to take a look.

We will look at your issues individually. It’s probably an issue of your media.
Could you direct us to some pages where there we can see the issues.
Of course we have tested the most recent version of this plugin before release. Your issues are anomalies but we’d like to get them fixed ASAP.
If you’d like to revert to the most recent version, you can download it here.

11 years ago in reply to: How do I change the size of the play button?Hi Milan,
I’m a bit more optimistic than you. I think it’s probably possible to build audio support in (saves loading yet another plugin).
<hr>
Hi Mark,
We’ll keep you posted.
11 years ago in reply to: How do I change the size of the play button?Hi Mark,
Yes FV Flowplayer 5 should allow a custom logo (Milan will confirm).
You won’t need the mobile add-on (it will be integrated). The new version is future pointed, focused more on HTML 5 and mobile devices with legacy Flash support.
We could sell you FV Flowplayer 5 now with a moneyback guarantee (in case you don’t like it) so you can start implementing it now. Single domain is on sale now at introductory price of $50/domain. If you need more domains, let us know and we’ll work out a special price for that as well.
11 years ago in reply to: How do I change the size of the play button?Hi Mark,
If you buy our FV Flowplayer 5, you can get the commercial version directly from us (v5 though, not this older version). Thanks!

11 years ago in reply to: WordPress Download Manager Pro CompatibilityHi Barry,
Thank you for your kind words!
I can see that Download Manager is popular with its users. Would you be willing to support the addition of Download Manager to Foliopress WYSIWYG with a symbolic contribution of $100?
(I say symbolic as it will costs us many times that to actually add Download Manager: Martin is right making the TinyMCE buttons work with our FCK Editor core is a substantial project.)
Hi Victoria,
no, we are not encouraging nothing like that. In WP, when you have very long titles, the permalink that is by default generated is very long, too, which is not good.
So, with the plugin enabled (and its option in Settings -> FV Simpler SEO -> Advanced Options -> “Shorten Post / Page name”), it shortens the url to the 3 longest words that are in the title.
That way, if you forget to edit the url, you aren’t left with the long one. However, you are still free to click on the permalink field (as before) and edit it manually.
I hope you enjoy the plugin.
All the best,
KarolHi Victoria,
You can override our feature of shortening URLs to the three longest words on an individual post basis. Our experience (we have a large SEO department and take care of hundreds of websites) is that longer URLs rank much worse now.
Our rule of including the three longest words as the slug is a pretty good one, as a default setting.
The reason we added default settings like this (including forcing metadescription) is that most authors and publishers are not disciplined enough on their own to do the necessary without prompting.
By automating more of the SEO, people are far more likely to do the essentials.
Hi Victoria,
We are using FV Simpler SEO on 3.5.1 and have even added some nice forced SEO features (shorter URLs, forcing the metadescription) to encourage publishers to work better.
Thanks,
KarolHi Milan,
This is a pro support incident. We do not support people’s issues with encoding or server. We support problems with our code. On the other hand, feel free to refer gersson to our other documentation or to improve our documentation if there are holes in it.

2. fix bugsOther support is pro support.
11 years ago in reply to: Short Titles with HTML Special Character11 years ago in reply to: Image Upload Button MissingHi Kerry,
The image upload button and the image upload software is built into Foliopress WYSIWYG. I’m surprised you are still having issues. I can offer you a half price pro install to troubleshoot the plugin on your site if you are still having issues tomorrow.
Make sure you are using a toolbar which includes the image upload button (most of them do, especially the Foliovision toolbar: chosen in the options page).

11 years ago in reply to: Unable to upload imagesHi Robert,
I’m glad version 2 is working for you. Version two is currently not supported.
KFM is the underlying technology of the image manager (heavily modified). The nominal enhancements of version two are not in the image manager but in the WYSIWYG editor.
If you do run into difficulties, please roll back to the last version of version one.

11 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 videos supportHi Jake,
Thanks for making the offer again. We are moving our Flowplayer to the HTML 5 player (you will be able to buy a license for the pro version directly from us) but we’ll be using the core code of our existing wrapper so adding Amazon S3 is something we very much want to do.
Milan will get back to you with a schedule today. Thanks.
12 years ago in reply to: change google descriptionHI Sakhaka,
Google sometimes prefers their own snippet to the meta description, especially if the meta description doesn’t contain any of the keywords of the original query and their snippet does.
It’s still good practice to have a sensible meta-description there for the many times Google does display it. The meta description should be short and make people want to click on YOUR link.

12 years ago in reply to: Basecamp integrationHi Mike,
Those are very good suggestions. Thank you very much.
I can certainly see how time entry fits in (right now we are using time entry in Freshbooks but we might switch over ourselves as we’ve just moved to an unlimited Freshbooks account which means we can integrate Basecamp and Freshbooks better: our team might work better if they don’t have to go into Freshbooks to manage their time). So we will definitely add the time entry option (probably a global preference so it’s not there for teams who don’t use Basecamp time tracking, with default to on).
Could you elaborate on how you’d like the Milestones features to work?
What would be different about an OS X desktop widget and just using a Fluid browser (what I do now)? What should the Desktop widget do different than the browser version?
Making the web work for you, Alec
12 years ago in reply to: Support for Yoast SEO PluginHi Sid,
That’s why no one in his or her right mind should use Yoast’s Plugin as you are making your site dependent on a plugin. Plugins should retire gracefully and use core WordPress tables as much as possible.
Turning FV Simpler SEO on and off will not damage your site, unlike most of the other WordPress SEO plugins out there.

12 years ago in reply to: Highrise tasks IntegrationHi Ralf,
We are currently working on multiple Basecamp accounts within AscentList (individual accounts) and then plan to move on to the Highrise integration.
We might reverse that order as middle sized and larger companies such as us basically have a Suite with integrated Highrise and Basecamp. Hence multiple Basecamp accounts are less important to us than integrating our single main Highrise account.
Thanks for your feedback!

FV Simple SEO is entirely cross-compatible with all in one SEO. FV Simple SEO is simply more robust, less dangerous (code has been security checked by Mark Jacquith and does not have potential XSS exploits in it like all in one) and doesn’t include branding inside your source code.
Plus FV Simpler SEO looks better, is easier to use and has SERP preview.

Hi Matt,
It’s pretty easy to create your own buttons. We have a YouTube button now which will allow you to insert shortcodes as well (you’d have to memorize them). You could also copy the YouTube button and create buttons of your own.
If you are using it enough to make a donation, we can create a couple of buttons for you ourselves.
Thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Hi Matt,
I’m sorry but it’s unlikely these buttons will work as TinyMCE is an entirely different codebase. We don’t like TinyMCE at all which is why we developed Foliopress WYSIWYG.
If you’d like us to look at a particular case, feel free to post a couple.

12 years ago in reply to: Basecamp integrationHi TeckniX,
Thanks for stopping by and for sharing your concerns.
Could you give me an example of the kind of info you’d like to see?
I agree that there is an element of good faith involved. Foliovision is five years old (officially and another five years before that as a small web design agency). We are specialists in the real estate and insurance areas (i.e. finance) so we handle private data every day for clients even those who are in direct competition with one another. We take great care to protect their data and we take great care to protect your data.
Only the two programmers specifically working on AscentList have access to the server where we maintain AscentList. One of them has been with Foliovision for over four years and the other has been with Foliovision for more than two years. Peter is completing a Master’s degree in Higher Mathematics and previously did database work for the European Union. Zdenka has a PhD in video processing and also has impeccable references.
Here are what our clients say about us: http://foliovision.com/about/testimonials
We have a large office in the building next to the British Embassy in Bratislava.
Here’s what we look like: http://foliovision.com/about/bios
We do not look at the client accounts ever. If we have to test on an account, we have our own Basecamp account inside the same server.
Does any of the above help?

There is probably something missing in your header template. Please open up /wp-content/themes/yourtheme and have a look in header.php
There should be something like:
// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";If there isn’t it, try adding it. You could also try enabling the TwentyTen theme which has proper meta description support built-in, to test.

13 years ago in reply to: WP Linking dialog disappeared13 years ago in reply to: Order of span and ul tagsHi Doaadi,
Foliopress WYSIWYG is a business text editor designed to simplify and speed up posting for both prolific content sites and photographic sites, while maintaining best SEO practices.
It will be difficult to resolve the nesting tags issues as they are part of the core FCKeditor (they might be better in CKeditor and we are preparing the move to CKedtitor now, but probably not).
I have a lot of sympathy for those programming CKeditor on this issue. These editors are javascript so there are real limitations to what you can do. They do a great job in pushing those limits so far that we think we are working in a desktop application. But we aren’t.
The best thing you can do is create complex classes which you can use as pull downs.
Thanks for sharing your find.
13 years ago in reply to: Order of span and ul tagsHi Anadi,
You shouldn’t be putting so many elements on a single piece of text in the first place.
If you have some complex formatting you use often, it should be a CSS style which you pull from the drop down menu.
Not only that but using underlining on the web is extremely bad practice as underlining is assigned to hyperlinks.
We do our best to provide the best possible WYSIWYG editing environment but if you bang your head against the wall hard enough, you are sure to draw blood and/or fade into unconsciousness. No helmet will protect you.

We wouldn’t recommend using excerpts as metadescription as excerpts don’t exist for pages since about WordPress 2.2.

13 years ago in reply to: PHP code in editorHello Amanda,
We have no particular desire to make Foliopress WYSIWYG work with live PHP in the posts. Putting live PHP in posts is a huge security risk and defeats the purpose of a templated CMS. Use John Godley’s Sniplets if you must put PHP in your posts.

13 years ago in reply to: Are visitors allowed to add testimonial?Hi Valerie,
We often think about adding an add your own testimonial form (with picture).
Thanks for the suggestion.
Zdenka, let’s try to add this to at least the pro version sometime soon. We can use the built-in WordPress text parsing for comments and just need an image uploader. Of course the image uploader is a security issue but I think we have one now which is safe (i.e. disallows anything other than images and won’t allow execution of the files until they are vetted: it should also not let the visitor know where the files are going – when approved the image should be moved to a different directory).

13 years ago in reply to: Contributor user with Author’s capabilitiesHi Nick,
You should be able to change those levels quite easily in the PHP code. If there is a lot of demand for this feature, we could make it a selectionable option.
Thanks.
13 years ago in reply to: Visual indicator of selecting imageHi Heliogabal,
That’s an interesting notion having a better visual selection when one clicks on an image. For the moment the focus is on the WYSIWYG part rather than on visual edit signals. But there’s no reason we couldn’t do that.
Hi Heliogabal,
We’re not keen to see two large javacript containers on the same page ourselves. So we are not rushing to add two instance support.
If two WYSIWYG containers are very important to your work and you are able to make a substantial donation as either individual or group, we could be persuaded to accelerate the development of multiple instances.
Personally, I’d make one container WYSIWYG and the other plain text html.
Thanks for using FV plugins!
13 years ago in reply to: How to test the plugin?Hi Jeff,
FV Anti Spam is a great plugin. We won’t run a website without it. Zero server load and complete protection.
And like all FV plugins, FV Antispam is set to intelligent defaults out of the box. No need to configure anything. It just works.
13 years ago in reply to: Multisite supportHi Stéphane,
There’s no reason that FV Antispam won’t work for you. FV Antispam is a much better solution for your server than WP Spam Free (which we used but actually got a couple of clients booted off shared hosting for server load).
You’ll want an active Akismet key for FV Antispam to be most effective. FV Antispam takes care of all the machine spam but to handle human spam we rely on Akismet (horses for courses).
Let us know how you get on.
Paid hands on support is available for all our plugins if you find you’d like a hand with your install or tweaking performance.
13 years ago in reply to: WordPress MU compatibilityHi stwc,
We’d be happy to troubleshoot your install with you. I’ve sent you an email.
Thanks for stopping by.
Very glad you like Thoughtful Comments. To my mind, Thoughtful Comments may be the most important WordPress plugin out there, at least on the sites we maintain.
Hi Jonathan,
You should upgrade your Authors to Editors if you’d like them to be able to edit comments on other posts. Otherwise get in touch with us and we can make a custom mod to enable this for you at a special rate.
For part two, you will have to dig into the source code and program that yourself. You are firmly in the arena of custom development there.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Will,
If the Ajax Comment Preview author Michael Adams (aka mdawaffe aka MDA) would like to work with us on making the two plugins compatible we would be happy to collaborate to make FV Antispam work with Ajax Comment Preview.
13 years ago in reply to: Custom logoHi Zdenka,
I’d like to enable this feature. It should be relatively straightforward for people with commercial licenses.
Thanks.
13 years ago in reply to: Only grey box appearsHi Andrew,
Thanks for the tip about shortcodes. We should put something defensive in there. We’ll try to throw a visible error message if wp_head is not properly setup.
On the other hand, we will continue to anticipate wp_head and a footer file and the rest of the accoutrements of a properly configured theme file. Once one decides to support every possible mutilation of WordPress good coding practices, it’s a steep slope downhill to code spaghetti and total incompatibility for all of us between all plugins. I.e. welcome to Linux distribution fracturing.

13 years ago in reply to: Blank Gravatar IssuesHi Oliver,
You’re welcome.
A donation would be much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to write to us about this issue and look into it with us.

13 years ago in reply to: Blank Gravatar IssuesThanks for the feedback Oliver. We use FV Gravatar Cache on a lot of our busy sites, so we’d like to keep it running smoothly. FV Gravatar Cache does speed load times considerably.
If you find the issue tomorrow, let us know and we’ll update the code right away.
13 years ago in reply to: Blank Gravatar IssuesThanks for isolating that issue Oliver.
With what would you suggest we replace fopen for our gravatar checks?
13 years ago in reply to: Markdown issuesHello Tracey,
I disagree that a grammar checker is what Foliopress WYSIWYG needs. Machine grammar checkers do a less than stellar job. That’s what school if for (avoidance) and editors (cleanup).
Someone who really needs serious grammar checking should be using a dedicated writing application and just pasting into their web publishing platform.
We do not want to slow page loads or worsen performance. If anything we’d like to trim Foliopress WYSIWYG down further.
13 years ago in reply to: Markdown issuesHi Tracey,
That looks like a good solution. Let us know how it goes. Markdown on Save may work out of the box without any changes.
13 years ago in reply to: One video plays, other notHi Zdenka,
Could we make this a little more automatic (on entering of a license key). Is there any particular reason that people need the absolute latest version?
13 years ago in reply to: Markdown issuesHi Tracey,
With editors, you have to make a choice. Either WYISWYG/html or Markdown or Textile.
The issue is with your Markdown plugin. You have to make your Markdown plugin read html and convert it back to Markdown. When Markdown saves a post it needs to convert it to html.
I.e. to use Markdown or Textile, the alternative language has to include a reliable two-way converter. That way the posts are always saved in a single language (html) which is easily converted back and forth.
Let me know if you have any luck with this. I’d like to have html/textile markup compatibility myself.
But even as a inveterate textile writer, I have no problems using Foliopress WYSIWYG as all the core textile functions (numbered and unnumbered lists) are right there in the menu bar as buttons. Much easier for a textile or markdown user to use the WYSIWYG than for the non-technical writers to try to write in special markup.
Those are the kind of usability sacrifices the technical writers have to make on shared sites. Comes with the territory.
13 years ago in reply to: How to resize play button?Hi Zdenka,
Thanks for letting Dave know. Adjusting play button size is not a priority feature. The current size works with most videos.
14 years ago in reply to: SEO image labels versus new Google ImagesHi Jurgen,
What would you suggest we should change for the new Google images?
Cheers, Alec
Hi Andy,
We aren’t cloning the dashboard at this point. We’ll keep these changes in mind for a future update. Thanks for the suggestion.
If you’d like to accelerate development of these features, feel free to contribute to the project.
14 years ago in reply to: Image white sizing handlesHi Red,
The reason the button doesn’t work in Firefox is that Mozilla does not allow javascript control of the clipboard. It’s a browser limitation. IE and Safari both allow this. I’m not sure about Opera offhand.
14 years ago in reply to: Image white sizing handlesHi Red,
White sizing handles are a very big mistake. When you resize in the post it means your image is being resized by the browser.
That means longer download times (sizing an image down) or distorted ugly images (upsizing an image).
With Foliopress WYSIWYG you right click and choose the right size for your needs in that particular post. At that point Foliopress WYSIWYG creates a smaller version exactly that size. Presto: good looking images and fast downloads.
14 years ago in reply to: Hiding screen options from usersHi Joe,
The focus of Screen Options is not to take choice away from the end user but to give him/her a good default configuration.
We might add a preference to disable Screen Options for non-Admin users (we put clients at Editor level as a general rule).
Would you be able to donate to help us make this feature possible?
14 years ago in reply to: iPad compatibilityHi Brian,
Much as we would like our Foliopress WYSIWYG editor and our SEO Images file manager to work on the iPad, it’s not likely to happen on the current version as they are both very javascript dependent and the version of Safari running on the iPad is not fully compatible with normal Safari.
We suggest using a dedicated WordPress posting app on an iPad and then coming back to add the images later from a desktop computer. Manipulating images on an iPad is a pain in the neck anyway.
Due to content production issues on the iPad, I’ve chosen to go with a powerful netbook instead (11″ screen, Core 2 Duo 1.2 GHz processors).
We don’t have a recommended WordPress posting app for the iPad yet. If you could look around and let us know which one we should recommend that would be great.
Foliopress WYSIWYG should be fully compatible with a posting app as we include the full html in our code. We are also working to automatically convert entries posted with the outmoded and cumbersome WP AutoP missing paragraph tags.
