I had the same issue and it was resolved when I updated the header.php file in my child theme. There were major changes to header.php in 4.3.1 and if you have a child theme header.php file it overrides the main theme header.php file and breaks lightbox.
Hope this helps.
Yes that is correct… a page like this:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com/homes/135-BELVEDERE-AVENUE-BELVEDERE-CA-94920/21728470/3/
Yes, info in private content… please track all changes and paste here since this is staging site, not production site.. Thanks!
Don’t laugh at my bad css but I tried this…
/* add lightbox */
#media-object ihf-center .lightbox {
}And it didn’t work… trying to figure out how to add lightbox class to the media object class…
Hi Victoria,
Thanks… the plugin that produces the page has a “CSS” box… would I just type “lightbox” in this box or is there something else I should do to tell the page to activate lightbox?If this is more of a question for the plugin author, I can also ask there.
thanks
RobBeautiful! The Matterhorn! I went there as a child and marveled at its beauty.
So my site with 4.2.3 autpolay is still working on Chrome but with 4.3. it stops:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com/78-southern-heights-blvd/I do think we will need the feature of autoplay muted video, click for sound to comply with new Chrome policies.
I have done this with Smart Slider here… works on mobile as well, even over 4G / LTE:
Guys… when is 4.3.2 coming out? I don’t mind a css patch or two to hold us over but when we start dropping huge chunks of code into the theme, it’s time for an update…. :)
With respect,
RobHa ha I am becoming paranoid since so many video elements keep breaking! :)
Bottom line, are you seeing stable autoplay video performance from 4.3.1? I have not been able to achieve that.
Thanks,
RobIs the top full-width blurred photo a video? It does not play on Chrome…?
Agreed on self-hosted videos, and I have moved away from them. Part of the issue I was running into with Youtube hosted was that sometimes even on high-speed connections, Youtube would start showing video before hi-res had loaded, so it looked pixelated for first 10 seconds, then clears up. Self-hosted did not have that problem. However I’m using Smart Slider now for more of the video hosting, and compressing the mobile videos to 1-5 MB using Handbrake.
My issue with 4.3.1 however is that the old pages on my site are no longer working with self-hosted video, and all the patching causes other issues (Youtube stops working when self-hosted starts working).
Keep sharing solutions, it is appreciated!!!!
Best
RobThanks. I’ll just wait for 4.3.2 at this point. Too many mods / hacks to get basic functionality working again. I feel like every mod breaks something else, and I don’t want to end up with Frankensteined code that I have to go back and sort out.. I would rather stay on original release channel.
I assume developers will implement video fixes in the next update? I feel like I have been saying that since September 2017… :)Thanks
RobGuenni007 I have noticed on 4.3.1 sometimes the sliders appear fine and other times they don’t appear at all. It seems random… sometimes reloading page fixes it…. until it breaks again. Is this what you are seeing?
With further testing, I can also confirm that while this fixes the self-hosted videos (except disables controls so users can’t pause), it breaks the auto-play for Youtube hosted videos…..
I can confirm that the above code does get the self-hosted videos working, but controls are disabled so it’s impossible to pause them? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks
RobIs the fix above included in 4.3.1 or are we supposed to paste it even after updating to 4.3.1? Thanks
I fixed it…. based on this thread:
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/4-3-1-lightbox-not-working/
I realized that my child theme header.php needed to be updated with the new code since 4.2.6 from Gunter about the Lightbox… now lightboxes are working again!
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks
RobSame problem. Solved it by adding LayerSlider element in Avia Layout Builder. The shortcode no longer works in 4.3.1.
4.3.1 did not fix the self-hosted video issue, and it adds an issue with Masonry where lightboxes no longer appear (separate thread opened for that issue since it’s major).
Link to logins in private content.Not my thread, but It works… and then after you add the element to a page, shortcodes work farther down on the same page.
Hi Ismael!
The video bug is still there… (see link in private content) on 4.3.1 and now there is a new bug in Masonry Element (see separate thread I and many others started).
But yes the 404 bug is fixed, which is very good news!
Best,
RobGood news – Yigit discovered that today’s Enfold update fixes the 404 errors on Optima Express… so original poster, you can update to 4.3 to fix the 404s. Please note that there is a new bug with the Masonry Element (clicked photos do not launch lightboxes) and the background video issue still exists. :(
Ryan, that shared folder has every version except 4.2.3… is that in there somewhere? I want to make sure I save 4.2.3 in my theme vault in case I ever get to update to 4.3. (Right now I can’t because it breaks my site’s functionality) Thanks Rob
