    Hello people, I have a problem with video widget AlxVideo.
    When blog shows contents the embedded video in left column (primary) run, else video doesn’t run!!
    In this case you can see on the screen only the video url like a simple string.

    If I embed it into right column (secondary) it run ALWAYS, with or without blog contents.

    In widget I tried to set only url or only embed code or both together, but nothing changes.

    For better information, my blog sections are linked to categories with articles.

    you can see all that on-line:
    working video

    unworking video

    Don’t you be scared of scary contents…it’s only a test
    eehhhmmm…sorry for my english ??

    I embedded another video after widget “Articoli Recenti” (recent posts) and it works fine.
    The first no yet.

    Maybe I solved it.
    In the function shortcode, in the file “class-wp-embed.php” I replaced that part of code

    if ($post_ID)

    with

    if(1==1)

    Now I don’t know if that update will bring plroblems to me.

    Have you better suggestions?

    Hi Caravaggio76. That will work until the next time you upgrade WP, which will overwrite that file. That may have “fixed” it but clearly there is something else going on with your setup to cause that issue. Here’s what I would try:
    1. Remove the change in file “class-wp-embed.php”.
    2. Verify that the first video widget in the Primary sidebar no longer works.
    3. Remove the first video widget from the Primary sidebar.
    4. Drag the video widget from the Secondary sidebar over to the top of the Primary sidebar.
    Does it work then or is it still broken?

    Hi bdbrown, thanks for your replay.
    I tried your suggestions but nothing changes. Video don’t work in primary column when blog is empty.

    Other suggestions? ??

    Thanks a lot

    I’d try creating a new sidebar, drop the video widget in there, and set that as your Primary sidebar for the different page layouts.
