11 years ago in reply to: OptimizePress template compatibility
Hello Sarah,
the problem is indeed with your template. It’s a complex template (it appears to be designed for easy creation of sales pages and testimonials), but perhaps a bit older.
The problem is that it includes older Flowplayer library than our plugin does. So there is a version conflict. If the template would use the proper WordPress way of adding new scripts (wp_enqueue_script), this would not be happening.
It would be best to just fix your template and make sure it never includes that old Flowplayer library. I figured out there is a work around. When you edit the page, you need to check Launch Page & Sales Letter Options –> Video Options –> “Activate Video” and enter “<!– FV Flowplayer –>” into Launch Page & Sales Letter Options –> Video Options –> “External Player Code” field. That way the template thinks the video is external and will not try to put in the Flowplayer library and the video will play.
We will put this into our FAQ too.
Now you should be able to go and fix your other pages, or just make sure your template is not loading that old Flowplayer library again, if you know a bit of PHP.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Issues with WP MinifyHello Wendy,
sorry about not reporting back to you earlier.
I finally tested WP Minify with our plugin and it works with the latest version. It should be fine since version 2.1.8, released at the end of May.
We don’t recommend enabling “Place Minified JavaScript in footer”, as it stops the front-end admin video checks and “Default (mixed)” “Preferred Flowplayer engine” option from working. You mentioned you are not using this option, so there should be no issues.
However if you only load your jQuery in footer, I’m not sure if it will work. The only way to make WP Minify aware of your jQuery script is to make sure it uses the wp_enqueue_script function to load. Since you already use the minify, it makes sure to just minify all the scripts with it and not exclude jQuery and then put it into footer manually.
We added a check for this settings into the “Check Template” button on the FV Flowplayer settings screen.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Conflict with Jetpack pluginHello Matthew,
this has been fixed. It was related to After the Deadline part of JetPack.
We applied the fix to your site and it will be in the next bugfix release of our plugin too.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: “Get Flash” notice on iOS devicesHello Sozo,
we changed
“html5: Unsupported video format. Try installing Adobe Flash.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer””to
“html5: Unsupported video format.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer”We also set the error message background to transparent, so you can see the splash image below it.
We will aim to create a special icon which will show up when the browser can’t play the video.
Thanks,
MartinHello Planck,
thank you for letting us know about the issue.
Indeed, there is a slightly messy workaround for Flowplayer 3 (this first link you posted), but it doesn’t work for Flowplayer 5 (second link you posted).
For now, we will add a warning about this into the video checker.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Issue with video checkerHello Kristina,
we’ve been in touch with you via email and we fixed the issue on the site. The fix will be part of the next release.
It appears that your web host is using a different kind of configuration, where each site it represented internally as a sudomain and that made the PHP server variables a little bit complex. We added code to handle this.
However the warnings still appear as read – they suggest you that you rename these files from M4V to MP4 for better compatibility. The details are explained in the admin notification box:
“We recommend that you change file extension of M4V videos to MP4, to avoid issues with Firefox on PC. Currently you are using the “Default (mixed)” Preferred Flowplayer engine setting, so Firefox on Windows will always use Flash for M4V and will play fine.”
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Conflict with Jetpack pluginHello Matthew,
we are looking into this. Jetpack has a lot of modules, so perhaps one of them is causing issues.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How to resize play button?Hello George,
please refer to “How can I change the play icon?” question in the FV Flowplayer FAQ.
It might be a bit trickier, but it actually survives the plugin updates, so if you know a bit of CSS, you can do it and not worry about it going forward.
Please let us know how it goes, we are always looking for ways to improve our documentation.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Airplay support11 years ago in reply to: Issues with Chrome 27Hello Cybermike,
could you please:
1. Login to your site as admin in your Chrome
2. Make sure Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Front-end video checker is enabled
3. Go to the post where the video appears. It should say “Admin: Checking video…” at the top of the video.
4. Then it should show you if the video is Ok, or has issues. You have to click this message to get details about the video.
5. Then send us the report by clicking the “Send to Foliovision” button. You are welcome to add any addition comment, if you notice something else.6. Could you please also do what I suggested to Penelope above? (link to my message earlier in this thread )
7. Then we can check the video details and see what could be causing this for both you and Penelope.Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: full screen issues with 2.1.8Hello Jason,
sorry about the delay here.
This issue was fixed nearly 2 weeks ago – version 2.1.12 released on May 31th, 2012.
Please let us know if you are still having issues.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Audios not working with flowplayer v 2.1.12Hello Dortmund,
we added audio support in 2.1.14 which was released today. Are you sure it was playing for you in 2.1.12?
We would be happy to hear from you how it works on your site.
Thanks,
MartinHello Deborah,
1) you can fix your videos in your Management Console, if there is only few of them, it won’t be so hard. If you have no “video/mp4” option in drop down, you should really be able to type it it. Make sure you make no typos and the warning should disappear.
2) This is something we want to add to our plugin. We plan to support protected files on Amazon S3, but Sensei should work too. We will be in touch with you.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Slider broken on iPadHello Andrew,
I’ll sum up what did we figured out when looking directly at your site.
The JavaScript event window onload ( jQuery(window).load ) doesn’t fire on iPad when our plugin is activated. We don’t usually work with this hook on our sites, but it’s an important one. It happens also on bare bones Flowplayer, so we will look for the solution.
In the end, we put in a workaround into the plugin. It triggers the window onload event and is only effective in iPhone, iPod and iPad. This will be released in 2.1.14.
Now your sliders on your site work on iPad.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Unable to redirect??Hello Patrick,
I’ll sum up what we found out about you issue –
After having a direct look at your site, we discovered that your template is loading older version of jQuery from: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js
This appears to be hard-coded in your template. Our plugin uses the right way of working with the scripts in WordPress – we specify that it requires jQuery, so then WordPress automatically included jQuery in header. If the template would use the same routine, it would see that the jQuery is already loaded (thanks to our plugin) and it would not load it again.
So you should be able to remove the script from header.php file of your template. Then check any dynamic sliders or AJAX driven features on your site after this fix. There is a small chance, that your template was specifically written for old jQuery.
If you brought the WordPress theme from somewhere, you could ask them about this issue too, perhaps they released an updated version of the theme. But I would not recommend that in case you did any modifications to the theme.
Also, our plugin should give you warning about multiple jQuery libraries when you click wp-admin -> Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Check Template. Could you please check?
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: rtmp streamHello Tekohas,
I added this into our documentation. Please check it out here: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/user-guide#rtmp
I assume that the “streamer” above is the RTMP server URL, so that should go into Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> “Amazon CloudFront domain” and then rtmp://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/folder/folder/sample.mp4 should be used as the src in the shortcode.
Could you please let us know if it helped with your issue?
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: “Get Flash” notice on iOS devicesHello Sozo,
thanks for the suggestions!
We should really try to show at least the splash image, if the video won’t play on the iOS device.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Unable to redirect??Hello Patrick,
is this happening in the HTML5 or Flash player? This should work in both with the default settings. Are you sure you are using the latest version of the plugin? Are you sure you are not just getting the popup windows blocked?
We will contact you about details.
Thanks,
MartinHello Bryan,
to conclude this thread –
When you disable the media library in the shortcode editor (Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> “Allow User Uploads”) and you are logged in as administrator, you see a notice that the uploads are disabled at the bottom of the shortcode editor – to prevent any confusion with this setting.
The shortcode editor remains disabled in the “Text” mode of the editor for now.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Getting error after upgrading to v 2.1.12.Hello Mark,
when you have a bit of time, could you please open this special URL in your Chrome and paste its output here or send it to us via email? It should help diagnosing the problem – it might be related specifically to how your Chrome is using your hardware to decode the video.
chrome://gpu
I’m attaching my results, I had no problem with playing of your video, except when it was playing in full screen and I dragged some other window on top of it: http://foliovision.com/downloads/chrome-gpu.htm
There have been weird issue with Chrome before:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113014
https://productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/chrome/gZQaQc7FSLMHopefully we can then figure out what exact codec and settings are best for Chrome and other browsers too.

Martin11 years ago in reply to: Getting error after upgrading to v 2.1.12.Hello Mark and Andy,
we just released version 2.1.13, which has an option to disabled the automated checks or only show these messages if there is really an error.
It’s in Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Front-end video checker.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How to add captions?Hello Dawn,
the new version is available for download and also in automated updates now. To use its subtitle feature, just add subtitle=”{url}” into the shortcode, or user the shortcode editor (you however need to enable the subtitles field in Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Interface Options first).
You can use our plugin for free, but of course we would be happy if you decide you want the licensed version with no branding or if you need any help and we can provide pro support.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Getting error after upgrading to v 2.1.12.Hello Mark and Andy,
here’s how to remove these warnings:
Add following code at the end of your functions.php file of your template:
add_filter( ‘fv_flowplayer_do_media_test’, ‘__return_false’ );
Make sure these quotes are normal quotes and not UTF8 fancy quotes. It you know a bit of PHP, you should be able to do it.
Sorry about the inconvenience, but we were getting so many complains from people who couldn’t check the proper mime type of their videos, that we decided to put in these warnings and didn’t realized they might be a bit too much sometimes.
However they should not affect playback in any way.
I tested the video on your site in IE9 and FF21 and it plays for me. Are you sure you tested if these videos play below these warnings?
In next version (we want to release today) these warnings will be less annoying and there will be option to turn them off too.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How to add captions?11 years ago in reply to: Issues with Chrome 27Hello Penelope,
there are multiple warnings in the dump, I’ll go through them:
1. “Bad mime type: Video served with a bad mime type text/html; charset=iso-8859-1!”
2. “Error: Can’t check the video (HTTP 406)!”
Both can be disregarded. I checked the mime type and it’s correct (video/mp4). The issue here is that the server http://www.servethecitygeneva.ch somehow doesn’t like our video checker. So we will fix on that.
3. “Error: Meta Data (moov) not found at the start of the file (found at 17,223,610 byte)!”
However the video starts for me within few seconds. But it could still cause issues in your Chrome.
And also what you mentioned:
4. It does not play for you in Chrome. Could you please let us know you exact Chrome version and also operating system version?
The video plays for me on Windows 7 in: Chrome 27.0.1453.93 m, IE 9.0.8112.16421, Firefox 21.0, Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2).
I played the video here, on our test site: http://lifeinamovie.com/2013/06/01/penelopes-video/
Could you please try if it will play for you on the above link? There are two version of the video. One is original, the other is with fixed meta data (moov) position. Please let us know which one plays in your Chrome.
Thanks,
MartinHello Doug,
the diagnostic messages about video go only to the admin user (if you’re not logged in or logged in with a user account you shouldn’t see it). The reason we set it up this way is that many people do have issues with their video encoding. And we’d like to help you improve it.
Your server is indeed using bad mime type for the video. You should click “show fix” to see what to do to improve compatibility of your videos. Otherwise you might have issues with some browsers. We know Internet Explorer 9 and 10 is sensitive to this, so we default to Flash for it. Once you fix this issue, you can switch “Preferred Flowplayer engine” setting to fully HTML5.
However we will add an option to disable the checking in next version.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Issues with Chrome 27Hello Penelope,
we are releasing a new version today, which will hopefully come with an integrated video checker, if it passes our final tests. It will let logged in admins know what is the video format and what codecs are used.
Could you please try the new version (2.1.12) once it’s out and see what information you get for the video? Perhaps that will explain your issues.
Also, have you tried clicking “Check videos” button on the FV Flowplayer Settings screen? It should check your mime types and suggest a fix for .htaccess if there are issues. Please let us know.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: ver 2.1.2 start video mutedHello Dominic,
sorry about not getting back to you earlier, we upgraded to latest Flowplayer binary today (plugin version 2.1.10) which I believe should make this work by adding data-volume=”0.0″ to the FV Flowplayer div element, but it does not.
Here’s a workaround, just put this into your template below where fv-wordpress-flowplayer/flowplayer/flowplayer.min.js loads.
<script type="text/javascript">
flowplayer(function (api) {
api.bind("ready", function (e, api) {
api.mute();
});
});
</script>It worked for us in different browsers, but I’m not sure about iPad. If you want to change the volume, you can replace `api.mute();` with `api.volume(0.5)`. Just make sure you clear your browser cache.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How do I make pop up work in FV Flowplayer 5Hello Kristina,
popups and redirections in Flash work in new version – 2.1.10. Please let us know if you notice any other issues.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Continuous loopHello Emma,
looping works in HTML5, but it has issues when the Flash fallback player is used – this happens when video is not natively suported by the browser.
We will add this to FAQ. Next release of the core Flash player should have this fixed, so we will implement that.
Thanks,
MartinHello Bryan,
please check Settings –> FV WordPress Flowplayer –> “Allow User Uploads”. Is it set to “true”?
We will put in a warning for admins to the video insert screen if the option is turned off. You might have turned that off by accident.
Thanks,
MartinHello Tom,
I added the missing language hook and then I was able to include a language dependent text in post title for both posts and pages.
Here’s our development version, if you could test it out and let us know if it solved your issue, that would be great: http://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-all-in-one-seo-pack-1.6.19.2.zip
Thanks,
MartinHello Mia,
sorry for not getting back to your earlier.
We released a couple of new version in the meantime, and we are not seeing any errors for them in our logs.
Here’s latest beta version which will be released as 1.6.20 soon, so you can give it a try and see if it happens again: http://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-all-in-one-seo-pack-1.6.19.2.zip
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How do I make pop up work in FV Flowplayer 5Hello Kristina,
there appear to be issues in the Flash version of the player, which is activated when the browser doesn’t support the video natively in HTML5.
We are checking it out.
Thanks,
MartinHello Tim,
we just released version 2.1.7 which is responsive by default.
It also includes template and basic video compatibility checks.
Thanks,
MartinHello Tim,
to make the player responsive, just edit models/flowplayer-frontend.php:
Line 189: change “width” and “height” to “max-width” and “max-height”.
Line 218: remove this line (sets data-flashfit=”true”).
Or you can wait for next release (this week), where this will be the new default, with option to go back to fixed size player.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: ver 2.1.2 start video mutedHello Dominic,
new version of the plugin (this week) will contain a WordPress filter on the generated player code. So you will be able to modify all the Flowplayer properties. So you will be able to add data-volume=”0.0″ to the player easily.
I tested this and it was not working though. However new version of Flowplayer core script should have a fix for this in it, so keep checking our change logs and we will mention when we upgrade to new version with this working.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Issues with WP MinifyHello Wendy,
Could you please post us a screenshot of your WP Minify settings, so we can troubleshoot with exactly your settings which seemed to cause issues? Or at least a written description of what exactly you have turned on.
We are releasing a new version of the plugin today which has integrated template checks and also detects WP Minify to warn users about possible issues.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Issues with WP MinifyHello Wendy,
sure, it’s better to load all the JavaScript in the footer.
However it should be done by moving the internal WordPress JavaScript loading routines (wp_enqueue_scripts() adds scripts into a list of what to load, wp_print_scripts() prints them into HTML) from wp_head to wp_footer. That would be our general recommendation.
We want to add some detection of this issue into our plugin.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: How to add captions?Hello Ricky,
Flowplayer supports <track> element, but currently it’s only supported by following browsers:
IE 10 (since November 2011)
Google Chrome 18 (since November 2011)
Safari 6 (July 2012)
Opera 12.5 (August 2012)We will give it a test next week and then we can add it into our plugin.
Thanks,
MartinHello Monpelaud,
actually this is already included in the plugin and we haven’t noticed any issues when working with it.
Just some notes from our email discussion –
You should make sure that you use full URLs with hostname. Our plugin resolves the URL properly, but there might be some strange plugin conflict.
You should also double check if the URLs open properly for you in your web browser.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: FV Gravatar Cache Not working on new hostHello Steve,
please check your
phpinfo()
to figure out if you haveallow_url_fopen
enabled and if you also havecurl
installed and enabled. Here’s how to obtain it, just don’t forget to delete the file afterwards, as it might contain sensitive information about your server configuration.Unfortunately our plugin tries to use
fopen
beforecurl
, so you can try to switch order of these two inGetFromURL()
function of the plugin if you know a bit of PHP.Please let us know if that helped, as we should fix that if it’s causing issues on some servers.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: ver 2.1.2 start video mutedUPDATE: Global default volume added in 2.2.15
Hello dstrijk,
you need to add data-volume=”0″ to the Flowplayer DIV element, see here: http://flowplayer.org/docs/#html-configuration
So you would have to modify <div id=”wpfp_…> in fv-wordpress-flowplayer/models/flowplayer-frontend.php.
Or if you want to make this a global setting, you should be able to use this somewhere at the end of your WordPress template HEAD section: http://flowplayer.org/docs/#global-configuration
Just like this:
<br />
<script><br />
flowplayer.conf = {<br />
volume: 0;<br />
}<br />
</script><br />However we will try to make this easier in some of the next versions.
Please note that controlling volume won’t work on iOS: http://flowplayer.org/docs/known-issues.html
Thanks,
MartinHello Tom,
there is probably a missing language hook, we will have a look.
Thank you for letting us know about the bug.

11 years ago in reply to: How do I change the size of the play button?Hello Mark,
please check the “How can I change the play icon?” question in our FAQ.
There you will find CSS which you can adapt into your template.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Display Issues Chrome and IEHello all,
after further discussion with Andy we found the reason – the mime type is badly reported by some of the servers and then IE9 and 10 is confused and won’t play.
Read about fixing in our FAQ, it’s question about Internet Explorer 9 and 10. This covers various servers, including Amazon AWS (if you uploaded with bad mime type).
It’s really a glitch in HTML5 implementation in various browsers and we want to put in a check for this into our plugin. Unfortunately these limitations doesn’t appear very well written on Flowplayer.org.
Thanks,
MartinHello Ian,
version 2.1.2 was released. It should fix your issues with volume bar alignment.
The IE9 check will have to wait with some fixed in editing to next week.
Thanks,
MartinHello Sozo,
we found that using our button to insert video player in text mode editing doesn’t work, just like you said. The tinyMCE doesn’t work in the text mode.
We will put in some fix next week.
Thanks,
MartinHello Ian,
we will fix that in next bugfix release. I hope we can release that today.
It will fix issue with video alignment and with volume control alignment. And hopefully we can put in some automated check for IE9 issues with bad mime type.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Shoutcast not workingHello Xeno,
HTML5 doesn’t support live broadcasting. Please read about it here under “Flash. The good parts”: http://flowplayer.org/docs/#flash
You can use our FV Flowplayer v1 with our WP Mobile Video Player add on for mobile.
http://wpmobilevideoplayer.com/
Thanks for using FV Plugins!
Hello Andy,
please read the first question (“My video doesn’t play in some browsers.”) on our FAQ page.
Hello Ian,
You can change the arrow by copying its CSS into your template and adding some element ID in front of it to overrule the Flowplayer CSS. I added this into FAQ, check “How can I change the play icon?” in our FAQ page.
To add border to video, use div.flowplayer.is-splash in your CSS.
The player doesn’t come with play/pause button by default. That’s how it works in the default Flowplayer template, but surely there are custom skins which have this feature.
We haven’t changed anything on the volume control slider. If you are seeing some strange behavior, it should be caused by some CSS rule. I did a test, if you center the video using the obsolete <center> tag, the volume control is affected like you described. If you use div with style=”text-align: center” or respective class of your template, it’s not happening.
We will check if Flowplayer have a fix for this, otherwise we will submit our own fix. However <center> tag should not be used anymore.
Thanks,
MartinHello all,
we released an updated version.
See full list of changes here: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/changelog
Hello Andy,
here’s a guide, if you have some basic WordPress experience, you can do it: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/downgrading
Thanks,
MartinHello all,
we are working on a new version and we are close to releasing it.
It will make sure the Flowplayer is properly cached for each version, so you won’t have these issues after the upgrade. I was able to reproduce some of these issues, but clearing the browser cache always solved the issues.
We also put in an improved play icon, which is more visible of bright backgrounds.
Hello Keith,
the plugin works actually works with both [flowplayer] and [fvplayer] shortcodes. No need to update all of these to [fvplayer]. This was just a mistake in the Settings screen, it should not be recommended to do unless you are having no issues with the new version.
Thanks,
MartinHello Nize,
you mentioned there is no play button – could you please check if you are not using white background? Just try to change the “canvas” color in Settings –> FV WordPress Flowplayer to black and see if that helps.
The problem is that the new Flowplayer icon is white and so it’s not visible on white background.
We haven’t noticed any issues with Firefox or with missing controls.
Thanks,
MartinHello Sozo,
could you please tell us what browser are you using? We haven’t noticed any issues with closing of the shortcode editor dialog window.
Also, what other plugins are you using? There could be some JavaScript conflict.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Integrating with existing newsletter pluginHello Tori,
our plugin was designed to work with the existing newsletter. So you just need to enter your signup form code into the “Enter your newsletter/feed subscription code here” field in Settings –> FV Feedburner Replacement.
In case of Newsletter Pro plugin, the code is:
[newsletter form=”1″]

Martin11 years ago in reply to: Category Slug Showing Instead Of Page SlugHello Ken,
thank you for letting us know!
That means our fix which we have planned will surely help you and you won’t be having this issue anymore.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Category Slug Showing Instead Of Page SlugHello Ken,
Settings –> Permalinks should really help, it’s bit of mystery why it didn’t helped on your site.
If this is important for your work, I would suggest you use our pro plugin support option, where we can fix the plugin directly on your site or find a reason for this issue and make sure it doesn’t appear again.
Other than that, we will work on the new version and make sure it works for us, perhaps it will help your issue too.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Category Slug Showing Instead Of Page SlugHello Ken,
thank you for the bug report.
please try to visit the Settings –> Permalinks screen after you added the page. That might help.
Could you please let us know if it helped? It would make fixing of the bug easier.
Thanks,
MartinHello Sergey,
this is a WP design issue. We expected that the “supports” attribute of the register_post_type() function would allow you to enter “fvseo_meta” to show our meta box, but it does not.
If you know a bit of PHP, you can use this code to add out meta box to your custom post type:
add_action('admin_menu', 'yoursite_your_custom_pos_type_meta_box');
function yoursite_your_custom_pos_type_meta_box() {
global $fvseo;
if( is_a( $fvseo, 'FV_Simpler_SEO_Pack' ) ){
add_meta_box('fvsimplerseopack',__('FV Simpler SEO', 'fv_seo'),
'fvseo_meta', 'your_custom_pos_type');
}
}It should not be a problem, as most of the time you need to know PHP to create these custom post types in the first place.
If this is important for your work, we are happy to add this feature into our plugin. Just use our pro plugin support (as a donation for our open source development).
Thanks,
MartinHello Lopsang,
I’m not sure what you mean. Are you looking for some way of customizing the layout of the WP Link Robot link pages?
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Broken after 3.4 update?Hello Szaleq,
we are happy to assist you in finding the source of the problem, just use our professional plugin support. There might be a conflicting WordPress rewrite rule in some other plugin.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Broken after 3.4 update?Hello Szaleq,
we upgraded a lot of WP sites and haven’t noticed any issues.
It might be depending on what version of WordPress you upgraded the site from. Try to visit the Settings –> Permalinks screen and re-save. It should help with any issues.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: IP already banned!Hello Seemoonlight,
thank you for your interest in our plugin!
You should be able to see a list of banned IPs in: Settings –> Discussion –> Comment Blacklist
So you should be able to remove your IP. If you don’t know your IP, you can find out what it is here: http://www.infosniper.net/
I see that the button should not be there for your own comments, I’ll put that on our list of fixes.
Thanks,
MartinHello Vijay,
if this is important for your work, you might just submit a request at our pro plugin support. That would allow us to fix the problem directly on your website and also fix any related problem in our plugin.
Also, we are preparing a new version of the plugin. So maybe you won’t have these issues with the new version.
Or if you know a bit of PHP, you can add a log for this in update_spam_count() function. A dump of both POST and SERVER variables together with the spam_count variable into a text file would be really helpful for any debugging.
Thanks,
MartinHello Gal,
do you mean the index page settings in Settings –> FV Simpler SEO? If so, try using the qTranslate language tags like: <!–:en–>English<!–:–><!–:de–>Deutsch<!–:–>
Thanks,
MartinHello Vijay,
all spam caught by FV Antispam should be in trash. Each message should increment the counter by one.
If you are using Akismet, check if you didn’t enabled “Auto-delete spam submitted on posts more than a month old.”. Checking that will make Akismet hard delete all spam comments on posts older than one month.
Perhaps these messages are incrementing the counter, but you don’t see them as they are hard deleted (without going to trash).
Also, are you using any caching other than WP Super Cache or Hyper Cache? I’m not sure how, but I don’t see any reason why the number should fluctuate like that. The plugin uses it’s own option “fv_antispam” which is array, so nothing should interfere with it.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: WordPress Download Manager Pro CompatibilityHello Barry,
Download Manager probably includes a set of small plugins which act like new buttons in TinyMCE. Adding that into our plugin would be a bigger job.
If Download Manager works outside of posts, it would be probably easier if it would fall back to using TinyMCE when Download Manager screen is loaded.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: FV WordPress Flowplayer not workingHello Renee,
then this has to be a conflict with some other plugin.
You can try to check your JavaScript error console, there is probably some error (instructions here).
If this is a time sensitive fix which you need for your work, I would suggest you use our Pro plugin support. Or perhaps this issue won’t occur in new FV WP Flowplayer (with Flowplayer version 5).
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: FV WordPress Flowplayer not workingHello Renee,
we tested this again and it works for us.
Are you using any weird popup message code for the video? Are you using our WP Mobile Video Player extension?
At any rate, we are currently working on Flowplayer 5 integration, so we will add any fixes into it.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: qTranslate and custom post typesHello Konrad,
thank you for the code sample!
It looks good. Other way of doing this is by hooking into admin_menu and adding the meta box there in a new plugin:
add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘fv_tweak_admin_menu’);
function fv_tweak_admin_menu() {
add_meta_box(‘fvsimplerseopack’,__(‘FV Simpler SEO’, ‘fv_seo’), ‘fvseo_meta’, ‘[your_custom_post_type_slug]’);
}Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Short Titles with HTML Special CharacterHello Mia,
we included your fix in our new version, which will be released soon.
You can test it out here: http://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-all-in-one-seo-pack-1.6.19.zip
Thanks!
Martin11 years ago in reply to: FV Simpler Seo multi languageHello Gerhard,
this is bad news, as we put in some effort to learn qTranslate and also worked on making our plugin compatible.
Did you already moved your site to stella-free? Is that anything like qTranslate and is it easy to convert?
They have broken images on their WP.org plugin page, so it’s not a good advertising: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stella-free/screenshots/
However there are people saying qTranslate works in WP 3.5: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-works-under-35?replies=12
And there are more fixes here: http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3831
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: FV Simpler SEO and FV DescriptionsHello Brian,
you can find these under “_aioseop_description” meta key in WordPress post_meta table.
Thank you for interest in our plugin.

11 years ago in reply to: Short Titles with HTML Special CharacterHello Mia,
I see what you mean. Thanks for your workaround. I think a more simple htmlspecialchars_decode() would be enough. We will fix this for next release.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: audioHello Mai,
sorry about the delay here.
I’m not sure how we can use some whitelisting, since the Flash component of the Flowplayer runs on the user’s computer, so we must allow access to the file.
You should look into the original Flowplayer site – if somebody has a suggestion, it’s them. If there is a solution, then we can perhaps integrate it to out plugin for easier operation with it.
Thanks,
MartinHello Jonathan,
sorry about the delay.
If you homepage is not using WordPress, then it would be fairly tricky to integrate FV Simpler SEO into it. But you can start by loadin wp-load.php in it and then getting the required option and echoing it.
Thanks,
MartinHello Fred,
you should start by checking if the video FLV or MP4 file URL opens for you in your browser.
Then you can for example check the access logs to check if Flowplayer is trying to fetch the file properly. If it appears to be using the correct path, then you are probably not using the right mp4 encoding. Check supported codec here: http://flash.flowplayer.org/documentation/technical-facts.html
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Flowplayer 5 – Solved!Hello Misha,
iPad doesn’t support Flash or Flash video, so I guess you would have to encode into mp4 too.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Flowplayer 5 – Solved!Hello Misha,
if you’re looking for player that plays on mobile devices, you might want to check out our extension for FV WordPress Flowplayer, WP Mobile Video Player. See the demo here. This extension supplies different video for different devices, using Flowplayer for normal browsers and HTML 5 video for mobile browsers.
Unfortunately, we can’t promise any exact time line of when we will integrate Flowplayer 5 which will work with HTML 5.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Uninstalling the pluginHello Pavol,
the multilanguage plugin is probably creating a lot of new WordPress rewrite rules for all the different language prefixes (/en, /de and so on).
So this is not a simple task at all. If you have an experience with adjusting Wordpres rewrite rules, you can take a look at the fv_top_level_categories_rewrite_rules() function in the plugin and adjust it so that it adds the language prefix for each language or something similar. If your fix would be good enough, we would be happy to include it in our plugin for future releases (so you could use auto updates without worries).
Otherwise if you need help and this task if important for your work, I would recommend you let us know using the contact form on our site, we would be happy to help you.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: submit buttonHello Michael,
we fixed this in the documentation. The instructions on wordpress.org and our site were correct, however there were instructions in the plugin admin page and these were not updated until now.
Thanks,
MartinHello Nick,
thank you for reporting this.
I can’t promise you exact time line of when we might be able to fix this in the plugin. If this fix is important for your work and you can contribute to our open source development, we are happy to fix this for you, just use the donate button on our WP Link Robot page.
If you know some PHP, you should be able to fix this yourself. Just have a look at the eblex_niceify function in our plugin and if you improve it, we would be happy to include your fix in the plugin.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: submit buttonHello Michael,
thank you for reporting this.
WordPress doesn’t like the HTML comments, there is a function called wptexturize which does all of this. We typically handle this function bit differently by our editor Foliopress WYSIWYG, so we haven’t noticed it.
However the fix with the shortcode is the proper one. Sorry about the mistake in our documentation, we will fix it.
Thanks!
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Fix for category_link()Hello svsdnb,
yes, our plugin works with WordPress 3.4.2.
If you are having any strange issues with category or post URLs not opening, just visit Settings –> Permalinks to refresh the rewrite rules and the issues should disappear.
Or there could be some plugin conflict too, but we only registered that kind of issues, when we were putting up some more custom rewrite rules to test something out.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 videos supportHello Mac,
I assume you mean Amazon S3.
Are you sure that your files are not set to be private or password protected and that they open in your browser for download when opened with link like this?
“http://your.s3.amazonaws.com/video.mp4”
Thanks,
MartinHello Jason,
Foliopress WYSIWYG has no problems with the most recent WordPress versions, it shows up in the Settings properly.
Once the image is inserted, you can right click it and change some of its properties. However we need to clean up that dialog box, as changing styling like that is not a good practice. It’s better to setup a few classes for the images in your CSS and then apply the classes using the Formating drop down menu. You can read about how it’s done in our Foliopress WYSIWYG installation guide
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Prevents “Plain text editing” from workingHello Bob,
sorry about the issues with logging into our support forum which you reported.
The “Plain test editing” is a feature of Foliopress WYSIWYG and not of WordPress. Thank you for reporting this, we will have to fix that.
Thanks,
Martin11 years ago in reply to: Fix for category_link()Hello svsdnb,
you should be able to use FV Top Level categories as it is, without any modifications.
Why are you trying the above modification if the code has been already included in our plugin?

Martin12 years ago in reply to: audioHello Irfan,
here’s how you can adjust the default volume – you only need to modify the JS used to play the video in our plugin.
We plan to move to new version of Flowplayer – version 5, so we don’t want to upgrade the current version too much. I’m not sure how this will work in the new version. However if this is important for your work, we would be happy to add this feature for you – just use the “Donate” button here to support our open source development and let us know: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer
Thanks,
MartinHello Rod,
we can fix this in the next release. If this is important for your work and you are willing to contribute to our open source plugins, we can accelerate the development, just let us know and use the “Donate” button here: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/wp-link-robot
Alternatively, you can just have a look into the code in wp-link-robot.php at line 343, where the check for ‘link-reciprocalurl-new’ is and make sure it’s never true. Then it won’t check for any reciprocal link at all.
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Custom toolbars gone after last upgradeHello Matt,
you are right about JustifyBlock, I updated our documentation with it.
However these buttons add CSS class to the element rather than inline styles. Instructions for what CSS should be added for these features to work are included in the Settings –> Foliopress WYSIWYG page, but of course we will try to make it as seamless as possible. We just believe there shouldn’t be any inline styling and classes should be used for everything. That allows easier design adjustments in the future if you ever change your template.
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Flowplayer not working on wordpress siteHello Johhny,
you should be able to remove the “splash” attribute of the shortcode, that will remove the image.
I updated this in “Manual editing” section of our user guide: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/user-guide
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Custom toolbars gone after last upgradeHello Matt,
I tested this and Anchor,FontSize,HorizontalRule are working.
However JustifyFull is not. That was not in our documentation, so I updated that.
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Flowplayer 5 – Solved!Hello Desean and Jay,
sorry about the delayed reply – yes, we plan to support Flowplayer 5. HTML5 support will be very important as both Apple and Microsoft seem to do everything to stop Flash.
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Custom toolbars gone after last upgradeHello Matt,
sorry about the issues. The new version uses CKEditor which is a lot faster than FCKEditor, but it also brings up these differences.
We tested what we could, but for cases like this, we included a notice appearing below the upgrade message on the plugins screen.
We will have to include some check in the upgrade if there are unsupported toolbar items defined.
The custom toolbar configuration however works. Perhaps you are entering some button which has a new name. I documented the new available toolbar buttons here: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/wysiwyg/installation
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: Flowplayer not working on wordpress siteHello Johnny,
this might depend on if you have auto play enabled or if you are using splash images. I would suggest that you start with no splash images and autoplay turned off, that really should work.
If the autoplay is on, the splash image might need to be removed for it to work.
Hello Gail,
the path “http://www.lwvchaffeecounty.org/example.flv” is not correct unless you have the example.flv stored in your website root folder. You need to put in full path to the FLV file. If you follow our instructions, you should get the correct path: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/user-guide
Thanks,
Martin12 years ago in reply to: FV WordPress Flowplayer not workingHello Gail,
our plugin works with WordPress 3.4.2. Just double check that the src parameter in the inserted flowplayer shortcode is correct. Perhaps you are using some non-standard path for your uploads and the path is not correct.
If you need this up and running, you can order our professional plugin support and we will fix it for you on your site (if it’s our plugin) or recommend a solution (if it’s something else – a plugin conflict).
Thanks,
Martin
