Hi @dizzyatinnocraft

Thanks for getting back to me. It was not difficult, but for a beginner it might be a challenge. I had to change PHP settings on the web host, for example. It was well documented on your behalf which is great, I just see that it might be hindering. I had to add the site to trusted sites in my adblocker, it also took a while to figure out that it was not the site that was the issue. Just to say that now I am up and running and Matomo is fantastic, I spotted a link that was wrong by tracking 404 for example. Perfect!

Confirmed, it is Safari! On the same mac, using Chrome there is no issue! Well spotted! ??

I have the same issue on 2 different sites (one is emf.aero). Just to verify that it is not a single issue. Thanks for an amazing free plugin!

Solved it! It was the searchbox in the sidefooter that was the issue. Removed it and now it is ok.

I should mention that this was an issue also before I added the logo as an image.

Thank you @006fazer !

Ok, so you got that covered. I tried replacing the contents of react.min.js with a new version of react and the picture loads ok, but does not update. So it will not be enough to just point react-webcam to use the version of React that is included in WP5 (that I don’t have yet), I guess some function in the plugin must be rewritten which is beyond me.

Another thing, your cron sounds interesting. I need a cron-job that can erase uploaded webcam images from time to time… ??

All the best,

So what did you do @006fazer ? A new site, is the camera uploading to the new site so the Reactcam has something to load? Did you install the Classic editor and then disabled the option of using Gutenberg, as per https://kinsta.com/blog/disable-gutenberg-wordpress-editor/ ?

@gertjank appears to have a problem with an additional plugin but not Gutenberg;

Gutenberg + Webcam + PDF Embedder […] = no-go.
Gutenberg + Webcam = ok
Gutenberg + PDF Embedder = ok

So can anyone confirm that using Classic editor + Webcam in WP5 is ok? Or even Gutenberg + Webcam?

Kindly,

/Hans

No problem. I refresh my [reactwebcam] every 10 seconds but the camera uploads 3 times per minute, and as long as there is no new image, the same image is shown.

Hi Radek, the reason for changing the code is that the cam I used (a Foscam) did not have the option to upload directly to /uploads. Since then I changed camera (to Axis) and now it works great. It would however be a great feature to be able to set the upload directory from WP backend/admin.
It is a truly great plugin for WP that solves a lot of problems that I′ve had in the past.

Hi Radek!

Thanks for making this plugin, it seems that years of trial and error is over for me!

I have been trying to edit const WEBCAM_DIR = 'webcam3/FI9804W_00626E4E4229/snap'; and setting upload_url to $upload_dir = site_url(); to make the plugin get images from another folder in the site, but then the URL:s on my webpage gets a strange “h” in the ULR:s, as such: <img src="h/webcam3/FI9804W_00626E4E4229/snap/" />

Any ideas where the h comes from?

Any input appreciated!

Edit: I tried the code in the initial post which is marked as resolved, and then I get no “h”, however still only a broken image link.

Solved! Forgot to name the files correctly, when named sv_SE it just works. ??

For the record… problem solved. Obviously it must have been a problem as describes as above, I took the original functions.php file from the child-theme zip-file and again entered my own code and now it works.
