Video in Wordpress

Nov 06, 2013

Hi folks,

I'm having problems getting video to work on my Wordpress site. My tutorials show screencapture directions and then a video recap on a single slide. For some reason, the video isn't appearing in Wordpress although the captions do! I have the same tutorials up on Moodle and the video does work. I don't think it's a browser issue.

Example (2nd last slide): http://itbstudenthub.ie/wp-content/uploads/articulate_uploads/Renew_a_library_book_online5/story.html

If anyone could help me resolve this, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks,

Áine

Hi Aine and welcome to Heroes!

I'm not familiar with loading Storyline content to Wordpress, but since you're able to get it to work in Moodle, it sounds like the Storyline file is working but possibly the Wordpress site is blocking the video? I'll defer to community members who may be using Wordpress and can assist you here.

A quick search of the WP site reveals plug in are needed to play video. We use WP with Learn Dash plug in with no problems.

Go to WP home/support/search/video formats for a start.

Thanks Ashley, it's a great resource.

Thanks David, it's good to know that a plugin is probably the solution. I added one of the better looking video plugins (http://www.kylegilman.net/2011/01/18/video-embed-thumbnail-generator-wordpress-plugin/) but the issue seems to be with videos embedded within SCORM packages.

I may just create different versions of my presentation, without video, for the WordPress site. Or maybe add the video to YouTube as that might be easier to embed...

Thanks again for your help, I'm on a bit of a learning curve here
