Hello,

I put youtube videos into a slide of the revolution slider, works fine, with the exception of the fullscreen button being gone….? Did I forget to check a box somewhere? I can’t find a way to make it appear.

Help would be much appreciated!

Best regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for writing in.

I’m not really sure about the fullscreen button, but would you mind providing your site’s url? If it’s in private then please provide your login too.

Thanks!

Hi Themeco,

I have the same issue Mark did back in February. I have embedded YOUTUBES in a multi-column row. The iframe code is generic from the embed click on Youtube. When I launch the website, the FULLSCREEN icon no longer functions on the embedded Youtube.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi there @dvsd01,

Hope you’re well today! Could you post your a link to your site please so we can take a look at this for you. 🙂

It’s possible there’s a javascript conflict or similar preventing the full screen button from working.

Thank you!

Thanks for quick response.

I have two url’s that point to the website. I noticed one would not FULLSCREEN the Youtube embed, one did in fact allow it.

One domain is hosted by cloudfare, one by namecheap. I will move them both to namecheap and first see if this makes a difference.

Here’s hoping this is a self inflicted wound.

ok, please let us know how it goes.

Have a great day!

Ok, the dns is not the issue. The Theme seems to not like to FULLSCREEN on an embedded youtube.

url: http://153greatfish.com

3 column layout on first row of first section.

embedded youtube iframe code in the embedded video element.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/eEjDtccy7ho” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Your help is appreciated.

Hi DDavis,

You could try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

If the problem persists, would you mind providing us with the login details to your admin section so we could check it further? Thank you.

[dvsd01Participant]

Did the test for plugin conflict. Not the issue.

However, I noticed that this happens when the domain is forwarded with masking. Could also be a multi-site issue.

I also tried other avenues to launch the youtube video with X elements but when I used the forwarded domain, they don’t function.

Hi DDavis,

Yes, that seems to be the issue. However, I’ve checked your site but I couldn’t see any embed youtube video. I’m only seeing a creative CTA with youtube link in it. When I click on the button, it throws an error in console and video doesn’t load (see: http://prntscr.com/8qic7o).

If that’s the issue you’re facing, try adding a CSS class of target--top to your creative CTA element under Class field of its settings (see: http://prntscr.com/7qeolc) and add following JS code under Custom > JavaScript in the Customizer:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $('a.target--top').attr('target', '_top');
});

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick support. I pasted the jquery into the Customizer. I hoped the CTA would launch the Youtube. No go. I am pretty sure it is related to the forwarding w/masking I set in the Domain’s DNS at Godaddy. It runs just fine when I use htttp://153greatfish.website/wp/ but in the domain that is forwarded http://153greatfish.com the Youtube fails to launch. My hosting company for wordpress is namecheap.com and they are of course, cheap on the resources for shared hosting *S. ie, 64k memory limit, no access to *.ini resource parameter files for php. I did setup WP multi-site and did find a way to do domain mapping without the cumbersome WP plugin. Here is the method which I will try next. http://kaspars.net/blog/wordpress/wordpress-multisite-without-domain-mapping#comments

Hello DDavis,

Thanks for sharing. Do let us know how this goes.

[dvsd01Participant]

Did not work either. Wrong solution for my problem. Not sure why the youtube launch is stripped by the DNS Forwarding w/masking.

Any ideas?

Hi DDavis,

Thanks for updating the thread!

As this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your setup, regretfully, it would be outside the scope of our support we can provide. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. If you have any further questions about the theme, we are more than happy to provide you with assistance on these inquiries.

Thank you for your understanding.

Did anyone get this resolved? I’ve been having the same problem, and someone who visited my site (for its content), who I don’t know, and has no knowledge of what was used to build it, actually posted a comment that he could not go fullscreen on the YouTube videos and was wondering if we were using Theme X.

This is a nightmare for me as my client is nagging me every day about it.

I realize this may be a problem with Revolution Slider, but since many people use it with Theme X, it only would seem natural that a solution might be found here.
