My initial concern centered on the fact that the player did not manage all videos on our site (blackpressusa.com). Youtube videos that were added directly by us in posts were not an issue at the time. However, videos that were added via the feed-based plugin, Automatic Video Posts (https://shop.ternstyle.us/documentation/automatic-youtube-video-posts-plugin-for-wordpress), defaulted to the WordPress player. I should note that this was not an issue before now. While it has been some time since we previously implemented the plugin, it functioned as expected during that implementation and managed all video plays.

It appears that since my initial support request, all videos are defaulting to the WordPress player. I have attached screen captures of the frontend and backend of a video post made by Automatic Video Posts. For other posts, we simply add either the YouTube embed code or the share link to load the video.

Please advise if there is code that we can add to the theme’s function.php (or other file) that will force the theme to allow the plugin to manage all video plays.

Thanks,
Norman
