Greetings,

Suddenly, In the last 24 – 48 hours, I am unable to view a youtube video on the presentation page of my tempura theme.

For months the video was called from the ‘extra text’ section in the second text box area using the short code <div style="margin-left: 12%">[video src="https://youtu.be/blahblah"]</div>

Video, plays in IE, Chrome and iPhone Safari; but, not in Firefox? I have no issue watching other youtube video’s in Firefox am just wondering if a new anomaly has been introduced somewhere along the code trail between wordpress, the theme the browser?

thanks in advance, -Rick

The client is starting to inquire more forcefully about why the video is not working on the presentation page in Firefox. Let me try and clarify.

Let me state that until the site was update to the current version of WordPress (4.4.2) and updated the theme to version 1.4.0.1, YouTube videos played on the presentation page of theme just fine (using the code in referenced in the post above). After the updates, youtube videos no longer play on the presentation page in Firefox!

I appreciate that the complexity in the presentation page multiplies the chances for things to display differently on each browser. I also understand that it interacts with different browsers in different ways. For example, I have discovered that on windows the sliders can be called via a relative link; but, in Safari, they must be explicitly called. Obviously, to correct that issue I just use explicit links and every thing works as expected. I am looking for some sort of work around to allow the YouTube video’s to be displayed on the presentation page. If there is something malformed about the code below, please let me know 😉

(sorry if this double posts – first update didn’t seem to post)

I am adding additional info hoping to clarify my issue and get a reply so I can update the client.

before updating WordPress to version 4.2.2 and the template to version 1.4.0.1, YouTube videos displayed on the Presentation page via an entry on the extra text section using this code`[video src="https://youtu.be/Z9ae-tmuQa0"]

After updating (Feb 24) both WordPress and the Tempura template, the video will not display in Firefox.

I appreciate the complexity of the presentation page ‘offers’ more opportunity to have things display differently on different browsers. For example, in Windows, you can use relative links for the sliders on the presentation page; but, they don’t render properly in Safari and require an absolute link to display. I am curious if there is something malformed in the code referenced above that now makes it not work for Firefox?

Thank you in advance, -Rick
