Video Not showing in latest version

Hi, is your site using an SSL certificate? Are you certain that all links and URLs are secured within your site?

What shortcode are you currently using?

Regards

Ah, looks like my HTML code got stripped out. I did point out in my original message that I am using HTML for the video display. Here it is:
<a title="These Wingspan? battery-free AGVs have synchronized lifts and a tight turning radius. Their main control panel allows them to communicate with the AGV PLC, and they're easily integrated with existing equipment." href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG45VcgHGKo" rel="wp-video-lightbox"><img src="https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Battery-free-AGV-with-synchronized-lifts.jpg" alt="Battery-free AGVs with Synchronized Lifts" width="293" height="21"></a>

Yes, the site is using an SSL cert. We’ve been running on the SSL for quite some time. This page worked fine on previous versions of the plugin. All links and URLs are secured. The problem is that when using the plugin the youtube url is changed from https to http by the plugin. That change results in a mixed content error on the page when using the code inspector console to view script activity.

Hi,

This page worked fine on previous versions of the plugin.

Did you also update other plugins or your theme prior to this issue happening? If you didn’t, can you download and install a previous version and carry out a test. I am just trying to verify if the latest version is causing this issue or not in your site.

Kind regards

Hi,

Yes, other plugins have been updated prior to and after updating WP Video Lightbox.

Version 1.8.6 does not exhibit the problem when reloaded onto the website. It appears to be the latest version that exhibits the issue.

Thanks,

Hi, thank you for reporting back and providing more information. I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your issue.

Kind regards

@rynonet, You have another lightbox script that is causing this issue.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.redviking.com/gallery/manufacturing-solutions-gallery/battery-free-agv-assembly-line/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/wG45VcgHGKo?rel=1&autoplay=1'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

https://www.redviking.com/wp-content/plugins/nimble-portfolio/includes/prettyphoto/prettyphoto.js?ver=3.0.1

Can you please disable this script so our video lightbox plugin can function normally?

Hi,

Yep, that’s the culprit. Disabling Nimble Portfolio v3.0.1 allows your plugin to work.

We have been running Nimble Portfolio for more than two years and have been on v3.0.1 for 11 months. Both plugins co-existed just fine, prior to v1.8.7.

I’ll need to troubleshoot why the latest version of WP Video Lightbox is just now conflicting with Nimble portfolio.

Thanks.
Matt

Hey @wptipsntricks – we can close this out.

The Nimble Portfolio plugin was loading in an older version of prettyphoto.js (v3.0.1) that was walking over your up-to-date version and causing the conflict. Getting that older version of prettyphoto.js out of the picture allows my youtube videos to display as intended.

The older version of prettyphoto seemed to be dropping the protocol attribute from the YouTube URL and outputting it as http instead of https, hence the mixed content (even though my html specifies the https YouTube embed URL).

Take care,
Matt
