Featured Videos

Thanks for upgrading, I’m sorry the video is no longer showing.

Could you share a link to a post/page with a video that isn’t showing properly? Once I check it out I should be able to come up with a solution.

Sure,

Here’s the link: https://www.lysefjordcam.com/live-video-stream/
I’m using the Tracks Child theme with very little custom code, but I’ve not done any changes since it was working.

Below is my only custom functions.php code:

<?php 

// for displaying featured images including mobile versions and default versions
if( ! function_exists( 'ct_tracks_featured_image' ) ) {
    function ct_tracks_featured_image() {

        global $post;
        $has_image = false;

        $premium_layout = get_theme_mod( 'premium_layouts_setting' );

        if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {

            if ( ( is_archive() || is_home() ) && $premium_layout != 'full-width' && $premium_layout != 'full-width-images' ) {
                $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'large' );
            } else {
                $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
            }
            $image     = $image[0];
            $has_image = true;
        }
        if ( function_exists( 'uses_nelioefi' ) && uses_nelioefi( $post->ID ) ) {
  			$has_image = true;
  			$image = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post->ID );
		}
        if ( $has_image == true ) {

            // for layouts using img
            if ( $premium_layout == 'two-column-images' ) { ?>
                <img class="featured-image" src='<?php echo $image; ?>' /><?php
            } elseif (
                ( ( is_archive() || is_home() ) && $premium_layout == 'full-width-images' && get_theme_mod( 'premium_layouts_full_width_image_height' ) == 'image' )
                || is_singular() && $premium_layout == 'full-width-images' && get_theme_mod( 'premium_layouts_full_width_image_height_post' ) == 'image'
            ) { ?>
                <img class="featured-image" src='<?php echo $image; ?>' /><?php
            } // otherwise, output the src as a bg image
            else {
                // if lazy loading is enabled
                if ( get_theme_mod( 'additional_options_lazy_load_settings' ) == 'yes' ) {
                    echo "<div class='featured-image lazy lazy-bg-image' data-background='$image'></div>";
                } // if lazy loading is NOT enabled
                else {
                    echo "<div class='featured-image' style=\"background-image: url('" . $image . "')\"></div>";
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

function ct_tracks_excerpt_read_more_link( $output ) {
        global $post;

        return $output . "<p><a class='more-link' href='" . get_permalink() . "'>" . __( 'Show more', 'tracks' ) . "<span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span></a></p>";
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'ct_tracks_excerpt_read_more_link');

Great thanks for the link and code.

Could you try temporarily switching from your Tracks child theme to just Tracks? I think the conflict may be coming from the featured image function in the child theme.

Please let me know if this makes a difference, and we can take action on a solution.

Thanks!

The Featured Video works fine with just the Tracks theme.

Morten

Thanks for trying that.

If I recall correctly, the featured image function is being used to add support for a live streaming plugin. Are you using this functionality on your site right now, or could this function be removed from the child theme?

Removing it should fix the video display issue, but if that’s not possible I can help create a modified version of it that will be compatible.

Since i’m showing webcam images that’s constantly updated externally I’m using the “Nelio External Featured Image” plugin so its not possible to remove that, sorry. It’s not a live video streaming plugin, but I can use external images as features image without it being in the WP media library. If you could create/modify a version that will be compatible I would be very happy. Thank you very much Ben.

Okay cool, please try this function in place of the existing one:

if ( ! function_exists( 'ct_tracks_featured_image' ) ) {
	function ct_tracks_featured_image() {

		global $post;
		$has_image      = false;
		$featured_image = '';
		$image          = '';

		// get the current layout
		$premium_layout = get_theme_mod( 'premium_layouts_setting' );

		if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
			// get the large version if on archive and not one of the full-width layouts
			if ( ( is_archive() || is_home() ) && $premium_layout != 'full-width' && $premium_layout != 'full-width-images' ) {
				$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'large' );
			} else {
				$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
			}

			$image     = $image[0];
			$has_image = true;
		}
		if ( function_exists( 'uses_nelioefi' ) && uses_nelioefi( $post->ID ) ) {
  			$has_image = true;
  			$image = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post->ID );
		}
		if ( $has_image == true ) {
			// if lazy loading is enabled
			if ( get_theme_mod( 'additional_options_lazy_load_settings' ) == 'yes' && ( is_archive() || is_home() ) ) {
				$featured_image = "<div class='featured-image lazy lazy-bg-image' data-background='" . esc_url( $image ) . "'></div>";
			} else {
				$featured_image = "<div class='featured-image' style='background-image: url(" . esc_url( $image ) . ")'></div>";
			}
		}

		$featured_image = apply_filters( 'ct_tracks_featured_image', $featured_image, $image, $has_image );

		if ( $featured_image ) {
			echo $featured_image;
		}
	}
}

That should allow the nelio plugin to work and also show the featured videos.

That was perfect!
Tracks is not only a great Theme, but has world class support too!
Thank you so much Ben.
Wish you a happy 2016.

All the best
Morten

Resolved ??

You’re welcome, I’m happy to help!
