Hi lihanlu,

Yes, good idea! We’ve just released a new version of the plugin (1.0.2) which has a new option to restrict posts to a certain category. If you update the plugin you should be able to do something like this:

[posts_data_table category=food]

And it will only show posts from the ‘food’ category. Note that you should use the category slug here, not the name of the category. You can find this on the Posts -> Categories screen in WordPress.

Thanks for your suggestion, we appreciate any other feedback on the plugin.

We just had the same problem with one of our WordPress web design clients. It appears to have been a plugin conflict because the Visual tab started working again after we applied all the available updates to the plugins installed on the site. So it’s worth ensuring everything is up to date before starting any more time-consuming fixes.

Same problem for me. When unchecked the ‘startopen’ option is saved as a ‘1’ in the DB, which is why it always displays.

Yes you’re probably right.

Thanks for your reply.

When I clicked the ‘install plugin’ button I had a message to say that it been installed successfully, but ClickDesk didn’t appear on my site and no code was inserted. I only got it working by manually adding the code to my website footer.

I’ve managed to fix the problem. There’s a well reported issue with Flowplayer (used by this plugin as a Flash fallback):

https://flowplayer.org/forum/8/67802
https://static.flowplayer.org/forum/8/19192

By adding an ID attribute to the <object> tag used for the Flash fallback in IE7/8, the problem goes away. So line 539 in /secure-html5-video-player/functions.php becomes:

$video_tag .= "<object id='flash-fallback' class='vjs-flash-fallback'...etc

Hope that helps..

Yes, I came across that thread before posting. Someone mentioned changing the ‘flashvars’ attribute, but since the plugin handles those settings when displaying the videos, I thought it was worth raising here to see if there was a solution.

It’s a tricky one because there’s several layers for me as a user of this plugin – there’s the Secure HTML5 Video code, then there’s VideoJS, then there’s FlowPlayer. As the plugin is a ‘black box’, I’ve no idea where the problem lies!

No you’re right, but the plugin uses VideoJS which provides a Flash fallback for IE6-8. It’s this fallback which is causing the script error (I think!)…

I see, thanks for the info.

Hi Scott,

Yes putting the full path in has worked. Thanks very much!

I have another quick question if that’s ok. Can I add partial directory paths to the ‘Dir Names To Ignore’ option? E.g if I set it to ‘wp-content/uploads’, will it ignore files that contain this directory path?

Many thanks.

That’s great, thanks for your reply.

Great! Thanks Sean

Great stuff, thanks for quick turnaround

Fair point, thanks for clarifying. Great plugin btw…!

If you’re ok editing code, you’d need to find where the custom search is being done – probably a call to get_posts, query_posts or using WP_Query directly – and make sure this appears AFTER the call to wp_head(). The call to wp_head() is usually from the header.php file in your theme.
