    Hi.
    Anyone have any idea why and how to fix the autoplay video at the top of the page to appear on an iPad? It was working fine until WP updated to the latest version few days ago.
    It still displays on the computer and on my phone, but just get a blank white space in its place on my iPad in all browsers just on this website. I checked other websites that have autoplay videos at the top of their pages, and no issues when viewing on my iPad, only on this website.
    It is set to display on mobile.
    Nothing has been changed on the website, only WP updated itself, and is when this issue started.
    Video is self hosted using Advanced WP Backgrounds (AWB). Website built with GutenBee Blocks.

    Any ideas how to fix this issue please?

    Ok, I figured out the issue as also had an issue on another website with displaying of images inside a widget since the WP update, any images inside a widget weren’t displaying, so had to reset them: rewrite their pathway/change the links accordingly.
    That fixed the issue on a different website for 2 png images, and so figured same issue with this website, as the mp4 was inside a widget (AWB) so uploaded the mp4 into YouTube and added that link in its place and is now displaying on ALL screens.

    Hope this helps someone if they are having any similar issues.

    Is peculiar as NOT EVERY image inside all widgets had a “damaged” pathway, only some, since the WP update. Nothing had been changed (no image changes nor their pathway or etc), ONLY the WP update. And the mp4 displayed on computer and phones, just not on the iPad. VERY odd.
    But all solved, though had to manually fix the image/mp4 pathways that had issues since the WP update. ??
