I'm currently working on changing the theme of a wordpress site that my university uses called the Maine Journal. Each article on the site has a video that accompanies it, and on the old theme we were using called Carton, the videos(using JWPlayer to play) would show up just fine. But when I switched themes, they just show up as [wowza name = "videoName".mp4] on the live site. I'm unsure where the disconnect is happening.
I can confirm that Wowza is working, because when I switch back to the old theme, the videos and the player show up. So I'm almost convinced it's either something in the theme or JWPlayer plugin that is breaking.
What could be going wrong? If anything, how can I fix it?
That looks to be the shortcode for the player plugin. It's possible that the theme you are using is preventing the javascript or plugin from running. Some Wordpress themes do not allow shortcodes by default. You will need to configure it by following their tutorial.

I've been facing some issues lately with our new business website. Basically, when the homepage is loaded www.motionitalia.it it looks like to redirect to another page https://www.motionitalia.it/?v=e0c86157e86f. I've asked a friend and he suggested that it might be related to the cache.
I tested the website using Site Health's tool called diagnostic mode and I deactivated all the plugins. It turned out that the ?v=e0c86157e86f appears when I activate Woocommerce.
I would like to remove it from the URL because it slows down the website and it doesn't even look professional. Has anyone of you ever experienced it? If so, could you suggest to me a way to fix it?
This is due to WooCommerce geolocation with page caching support enabled
To disable ?v=e0c86157e86f like from WordPress Urls when WooCommerce plugin is active, Go to WooCommerce Settings > General (tab), then for "Default customer location" select "Geolocate" instead of "Geolocate (with page caching support)", then save.
As you will see, the Urls are now clean without ?v=e0c86157e86f like.
is it at all possible to find out the name of the theme used by this Wordpress site? https://markforged.com/
I've dug around in the source code, but the css seems minified so I cannot find out much.
If anyone can tell me, they will be my hero!
I've never used this website before today but it seems to work nicely on the few websites I tested: WP Theme Detector. It doesn't work on the website you linked though, saying that it isn't a WordPress website. It might be using a security plugin to prevent websites like this getting information.
I checked on Built With and can see that it is actually a WordPress website. There might be some details you can gleam from here hopefully.
I'm pretty sure that's not a WP site. According to Wappalyzer, it appears to be a combination of HTML5 and the Modernizr JS library.
Regardless of how customised a theme is in WP, or how the CSS/JS is minified, a WP site source wouldn't look the one here. Using a plugin like Hide My WP will stop obvious signs of WP in the source, but it still won't look like this source. Using Firebug, there are no indications of anything WP-related.
If they really are using WP and manage to mask it to this degree, I'd be really interested in how they're doing it.
A lot of themes can be made to look like the one here with a little effort, if you really want the same look.
I have checked a lot of third-party sites, they responded "This is not a WordPress site", but on a specific site I got an alternative respond that the theme might be too custom.
Hi all developers — hope there is a clever brain in here who can help.
I have a simple feature I want to implement to a site without much WP backend experience.
It is a "live chat on / off" widget/button which must be visible to operators in the dashboard. It’s purpose is to change a line in header.php / or change stylesheet for changing a picture in the frontend of the website from “offline" to "online”. I don’t have any experience in backend WP, but mostly doing website templates changes with css.
I’ve made a very simple “widget” in the backend - it’s just a wysiwyg editor button.

Thanks in advance.
Therefore you could implement a plugin, which brings along a widget for showing offline or online status on the website's frontend.
As plugins can have a settings page, where options for that offline/online functionality could be saved, it shouldn't be a problem to access the option field in the widget.
Have a look at Wp-Live-Chat-Support and it's screenshots, especially the one with caption Settings page of WP Live Chat Support.
I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn't understand how Wordpress fully work.
I would like to use Wordpress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the Wordpress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my Wordpress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.
How can I put Wordpress post entries into my website that uses my own layout (and not using the theme interface in Wordpress).
Thanks!

I have used this as a starting point for my detached wordpress site and it's working perfect.
You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don't do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP's CMS feature.
here's a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.
Your website design (html/css)
Install Wordpress on your server, or locally.
Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
Edit the Theme's CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.
Items listed above maybe broad, but that's a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.
Best of Luck!
Kaltura's plugin for Wordpress looks like a great tool. It seems to work to add video to a page while editing the page. But, the video doesn't display once you view the site. Also, there is a button on the post page that says "Add Video Comment". It doesn't work either. This is what I'd REEEEEEally like to get working.
I've been to the Kaltura site, and there is reams and reams of documentation, but nothing that actually applies to this Wordpress plugin. Its almost like it doesn't exist to them....
Any help on this would be great.
Seems like you have a faulty installation... the features you mentioned should just work after installation.
Are you using Kaltura.com or your own self hosted Kaltura CE?
Any public URL where we can see the issues?
