• I have recently posted youtube videos to my blog https://independentrecruiter.co/blog/

    And I cannot get the videos to play on an Iphone, they play on an Ipad, but cannot see why they dont appear on iphones.

    We have an optimise press plug in if that helps & I am extremely non technical, my IT support is now unavailable for 2 weeks, please can someone assist? I need the videos to play, the featured image doesnt appear neither.

  • Dave,

    I am also not able to see or play the video on my iPhone 6. The official instructions from OptimizePress are to:

    If you upload a video to YouTube, you can grab the URL of the page and use this with our Video Player Youtube URL option – just drop in the URL of your video and our video player will automatically play this – you can also use additional options to customize the player settings for each video you embed.

    If that is no help, you can refer to the official WordPress documentation.

    Hi Grant,

    Many thanks for this, and I think I have completed what you have mentioned, except, having taken the URL and inserted it, I know it works because the youtube video plays on my ipad and on the desktop, the only place it isnt playing is on my iphone.

    I am seriously confused because I cannot see any additional tags to action the iphone playback or even distinguish between the platforms it plays on.

    Did you manage to resolve the problem? And do you think I missing something obvious?

    Regards Dave

    Dave,

    I’ve looked into this a bit more, I believe I may have found a solution.

    Go to Divi -> Theme Options -> General Settings. Then scroll down to the bottom and add the following code to the Custom CSS box.

    @media only screen and (max-width: 950px) {
        element.style {
            padding-top: 0;
        }
    }

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Grant.
