404 – Call to inexistent file mediaelementplayer.css

I am using the latest Enfold and WP.
Plugin Redirection says: 404 error on
/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/mediaelement/skin-1/mediaelementplayer.css?ver=0.9.5

Website: https://onlinekursus.dk

I only see:
/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/

Not this:
mediaelement/skin-1/mediaelementplayer.css?ver=0.9.5

Granted – see private section

Check 404 i Redirection plugin

Exactly, that why we don’t understand it……..it is inexistent as the title of this topic says.

Anything to do about it, or should we just ignore it or redirect to frontpage?

Thanks :-)

As OKEI said the mediaelement folder is missing from the js folder in Enfold. It is missing in the download files from Themeforest (full package as well as installables). The folder got removed with the 4.2 update but is still referenced in class AviaBuilder.

The issue clearly stems from the update to Enfold 4.2 and is nothing caused by the user(s). There are two possible reasons for the issue and both must be solved by Kriesi:

1. Kriesi removed the mediaelement folder and the included files because they are not needed anymore since 4.2. In this case Kriesi has to remove any reference to the files and the folder from the source code as well.

2. Kriesi missed to include the still necessary mediaelement folder and its files in Enfold 4.2. In that case Kriesi has to add the folder again and prepare an update.

@jordan_s 404 errors can’t be ignored at all. Even if you know it is a false positive you have to remove the root cause for the issue. Otherwise you may find your self in a situation like me hunting a ghost. I run fail2ban on my servers and block IP addresses that cause ten 404 errors in 300 seconds. While working on a new client site I got banned my self over and over again and it took me 3 hours to realize the missing mediaelement.css file causes the 404 errors while saving and editing content with the layout builder.

Until we get an update from Kriesi anyone in need to fix the issue can download the mediaelement folder and its content from Enfold 4.1.2 here. Unzip the file and copy the complete folder to /themes/enfold/js/
