Enfold Video-Widget is not working

Hi,

This issue is probably caused by the missing mediaelement javascript. This script is not loaded by default but only if media elements (i.e. slideshow, video element, etc.) are used on the current page/post. If a video is embedded in the sidebar the script is not loaded by default. However we’ll introduce a new filter with the next theme update which enables you to always load this script and to embed videos in the sidebar too. To fix the issue with the current theme version please add this code to your child theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'avf_enqueue_wp_mediaelement', 'avia_always_load_mediaelement', 10, 2);
function avia_always_load_mediaelement($condition, $options)
{
	$condition = true;
	return $condition;
}

Then switch to the poarent theme enfold and on line 419 in enfold/functions.php replace this code:

$condition2 = ( version_compare( get_bloginfo( 'version' ), '4.9', '>=' ) ) && $condition;

with

$condition = apply_filters( 'avf_enqueue_wp_mediaelement', $condition, $options );
$condition2 = ( version_compare( get_bloginfo( 'version' ), '4.9', '>=' ) ) && $condition;

The next theme update will already contain this change – you don’t need to modify the enfold/functions.php again.

Best regards,
Peter

i think she is right – did not work on my end too:
for the moment take the html widget and use the iframe:
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/46232172?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

has on my end the advantage, that i can insert it DSGVO konform: https://webers-testseite.de/maskenzauber/

PS: wunderschöne Arbeiten – echt Klasse !

no i’m working on it right now a lot – sorry
i give you a different page – maybe my webers-testseite is to full with custom code

But Dude – this is the selfhosted video. No doubt – that works!
But did you try a vimeo video?

yes – i tested it – works on that installation ( you know my webers-testseite is a bit full with code – maybe there is somesthing in conflict with it.
See : https://webers-testseite.de/weber/a-nice-entry/

But: – with iframe for me its better because its with my Borlabs Cookie Plugin DSGVO konform.

Hi,

I added a video widget (with a vimeo video) to the “displayed everywhere” widget area. You can see the video i.e. here: https://staging.h105244.server08.campusspeicher.de/shop/hut-rohlinge/ (right sidebar). I applied the fix to the child theme functions.php.

Best regards,

Hi,

Adding something new (quite different too)

Nope, same configuration you had here: http://maskenzauber.com/temp/video-sidebar.mp4 (first 30 seconds).

Regarding the self hosted video:
I think this is a general bug/issue which we can’t fix/solve on our end. I now switched to the default theme (Twenty Seventeen) and added the video widget to the footer widget area. Then I checked the results and the video didn’t work with the default theme too (you can check it here: https://staging.h105244.server08.campusspeicher.de/datenschutzerklaerung/ in the footer area).

I’m not sure if this is a problem with your video, with the mime types you’ve set for video files (see https://webplatform.github.io/docs/tutorials/configuring_mimetypes_on_the_server/#Apache-HTTPD-server—.htaccess for a sample .htaccess entry) or a general wordpress bug.

However I’ve now found a workaround for your problem which also works with your self hosted video and Enfold (only).

1) You need to add this code to the child theme (I’ve already done this on your dev server):

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

It’s required because the text widget does not support/execute shortcodes by default – see https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-use-shortcodes-in-your-wordpress-sidebar-widgets/

2) Add a text widget to the sidebar and insert a video shortcode (also used in the template builder)

[av_video src='https://staging.h105244.server08.campusspeicher.de/videos/trailer-short.mp4' mobile_image='' attachment='' attachment_size='' format='16-9' width='16' height='9' conditional_play='' av_uid='']

Replace the src value with your video url and save the widget. Afterwards the video should be displayed in the sidebar (I tested this on your website too).

Best regards,
Peter
