Flexform Portfolio Video Thumb Issue

[WBronson]

I’m having trouble with Flexform portfolio when trying to use videos from youtube or vimeo.
No matter what I try, I can’t get the thumbnails to pull, and even when I place an image for a thumbnail, I can’t get the video to pull in lightbox.
Look in portfolio and you’ll see two portfolio items with the video category.
The page uses page builder with portfolio, category for video only.
The filter shows them but no thumbs, and it won’t play even with an image thumb.
I thought I could place the vimeo video url in the thumbnail and thumbnail link areas, for it to work properly. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the theme?
Please check it out. I’ve tried everything I can think of.

Hi,

I think this is because you are running a HTTPS site and the vimeo is returning a HTTP video URL, even though you have add the HTTPS URL to the vimeo video.

Can you start by installing the HTTPS plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/.

Cheers,
David.

Ok, I installed wordpress https, even though I had no issues with https until my porfolio thumb videos wouldn’t show up.
I installed the plugin and activated it.
Then, I saw one of the video thumbs showing up, but no title or text.
So, I tried adding another one and now both don’t show up.
It seems that the theme portfolio function is buggy when it comes to using a vimeo or youtube video, using https.
Why is this and how can I fix it?

Hi,

Please remove the https and use http when referencing video URLs. I have amended the portfolio item Medico First Diagnosis Cancer and changed the meta option “Portfolio thumbnail video URL” to http.

You will need to do that for all videos.

Thanks,

Ok thank you. Now, how can I get the titles to show up, so people know what video that thumb is for?
It shows for an image but not for video.

Hi,

You will need to set the “Display Type” from Gallery to standard in that page builder asset.

Hi,
Please find this code functions.php file:-

function video_vimeo($url, $width = 640, $height = 480){
	
		preg_match('/http:\/\/vimeo.com\/(\d+)$/', $url, $video_id);		
		
		return '<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/'. $video_id[1] .'?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0?wmode=transparent" width="'. $width .'" height="'. $height .'"></iframe>';
		
	}

Change to:-

function video_vimeo($url, $width = 640, $height = 480){
	
		preg_match('/http:\/\/vimeo.com\/(\d+)$/', $url, $video_id);		
		
		return '<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/'. $video_id[1] .'?&byline=0&portrait=0?wmode=transparent" width="'. $width .'" height="'. $height .'"></iframe>';
		
	}

Thanks

I did as you suggested and it didn’t seem to change anything

[WBronson]

ok it seems to have worked.
First, the video thumbs not showing in the portfolio was due, I think, to listing https for the video file. Changing to http resolved this but removed the full padlock from the page on the user side.
Second, the titles weren’t showing.
I changed the portfolio settings in page builder to standard instead of gallery. That fixed that.
All seems fixed now and there’s a recap for anyone else.
Cheers and thank you guys.
