Hi Oliver
Im aware of that but for maintenance issues and upgrading I’d rather have a solution that didn’t require editing the theme files.
I wondered if there was a way to do it using Options for 2017 by using the shortcode widget in the header but I think I’d still have the difficulty of only wanting display the video on the front page rather than all pages.
Also the two sliders recommended only support streaming video from Youtube/Vimeo but for faster loading, it’s better to host the files on my server as I understand it.
It it worth looking for a different slider that supports video or and has a widget or create a widget for my existing video display or is that likely to be a dead end?

I think I have found the solution – by adding this to header.php

<header id="masthead" class="site-header">
<?php if( is_front_page() ): ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode("[universal_video_player_and_bg settings_id='5']");?>
<?php endif; ?>

<snip>
The video is now showing on the homepage only as background to the site identy but I need to increase the height of the video area to display it completely. However, if I just add padding below the site identity it affects all pages not just the homepage.

I deactivated all Plugins apart from Smush with no improvement.

I then deactivated Smush and the images appeared – although the captions were improperly formatted.

1. There is no statement “define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘/somedir’);” in the wp-config.php file
2. I am using the latest Yoast version as stated above
3. I am using WP 5.4.2 as stated above
4. All other plugins and themes are updated

I have also tried importing exporting a settings file and then adding the absolute link and importing it but with no result.

Is this a deliberate error in the free version?

PING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone read this support forum?

Correction: We are using EventBrite for event booking and I was under the impression that we needed to install the Eventbrite Plugin (and Keyring) to embed the booking form in the website.

I don’t think that will work because BuddyPress only supports the shortcodes listed here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Thanks very much Eli – the scan came up clean and I was able to use the Quick scan which has failed due to memory issues previously.

Thanks very much for this

I was trying to login and so was a colleague with a different login – we both got a blank page to start with and then the 2001 message. I didn’t try more than twice as I figured the cause and rushed to undo the fix.

I was using the WP login page (mydomain/wp/wp-admin ) and I presume my colleague was too.
