Title: Video component for Intergalactic theme Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Video component for Intergalactic theme * Resolved [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/) * Hi, * I’m trying to get ASE to work with Intergalactic. It is developed by WordPress/ Automattic * [https://wordpress.com/themes/intergalactic/](https://wordpress.com/themes/intergalactic/) * So far, I’ve managed to customise the site and get the Parallax, Gallery and Character modules to work fine. * There is a problem with the video module. When I do drop in the video component and save the post, nothing appears on the post when viewed. However, the HTML code for the video embed is present in the source, it’s just not being rendered by the browser. * Nothing appears for self hosted videos as well as YouTube videos. * Any help to get me started on troubleshooting this? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/aesop-story-engine/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/aesop-story-engine/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908418) * Hi Ganesh, I’m not familiar with that plugin. I see that you’ve asked the plugin developer to take a look at this: * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme) * Let me know what they say. * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908433) * Hey Ganesh, * I’d love to help out. * I think it would be best to start out with our “Quick Start Guide” to verify that theme support has been enabled, which you can find here: [http://aesopstoryengine.com/quick-start-guide](http://aesopstoryengine.com/quick-start-guide). * Add the code snippet below to your functions.php file, or add using Code Snippets plugin to enable Extended Style Support. This will load one CSS file for any of the items that you include in the snippet below: * `add_theme_support("aesop-component-styles", array("parallax", "image", "quote"," gallery", "content", "video", "audio", "collection", "chapter", "document", " character", "map", "timeline" ) );` * From there you might want to style the components differently, and we have full docs here on how to do that: [http://aesopstoryengine.com/developers](http://aesopstoryengine.com/developers). * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908444) * Thanks for chiming in, Michael! * Ganesh – keep in mind that if you edit the theme’s functions.php file directly, your changes will be overwritten the next time you update the theme, so please be careful. If you make the tweak in a child theme instead, it won’t be overwritten when updating the parent theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) [http://op111.net/53/](http://op111.net/53/) [http://vimeo.com/39023468](http://vimeo.com/39023468) * Or, you could use the Code Snippets plugin that Michael mentions. * Good luck! * Thread Starter [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908459) * Hi Kathryn, * Cheers for your reply. Apologies if I posted the thread in the wrong forum. I think I had multiple tabs opened and perhaps confused myself while posting it. * Michael, yes, I’ve already added that piece of code using Code Snippets plugin. Parallax, Image, Gallery and Character modules work as expected. * It’s only the video plugin that doesn’t get rendered by the browser. On IE 11 you can see the video window but it is completely out of place and on Chrome it doesn’t even show up. * Take a look at a sample here: [http://goo.gl/ZPggbd](http://goo.gl/ZPggbd) * The video is buried mid post. * Plugin Author [Nick Haskins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nphaskins/) * (@nphaskins) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908511) * Hi Ganesh! It looks like WordPress isn’t liking your filetype. .wmv is supported but I’ve ready reports of it not always working. I can tell this on your site because the video player is setting this class: * [http://cl.ly/image/2x3B3I3A0d0M](http://cl.ly/image/2x3B3I3A0d0M) * Which means it’s an issue with your video. Also, there’s a “jetpack-videowrapper” around the video. I’m not sure if that will affect it or not since there isnt’ a working video yet, but something to keep an eye on . * Can you try a different file format? * Thread Starter [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908512) * Hi Nick, * Thank you so much for your reply and help. Appreciate it. * I have now changed the video file from self hosted .wmv to a YouTube hosted video. * I can see the video in the HTML source, but IE and Chrome refuse to render it. * Any ideas? * Regards, Ganesh * Plugin Author [Nick Haskins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nphaskins/) * (@nphaskins) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908552) * Can you try to put an align “center” on the video? It’s in the video option. For some reason, the float:left is causing it to collapse it’s height completely. * Thread Starter [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908572) * Okay. It works fine with alignment set to centre and width at 100%. * I’ve set the width to 50% and asked the video to be played when it comes into view. However, the video stops playing when it is in view but plays when the page scrolls away from the video. Essentially, opposite of what is required. * This is self hosted video now, by the way. I’ve also updated the plugin to the latest version that was released only a few hours ago. * Almost there 🙂 * Plugin Author [Nick Haskins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nphaskins/) * (@nphaskins) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908574) * “he video stops playing when it is in view” * That means it has to be playing when the page load. You might have “autoplay” set to on. * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908576) * Can I ask what other plugins you have running? Perhaps there’s a conflict. * Can you use a .mp4 video format? * Thread Starter [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908586) * Hi, * Apologies for this. The problem was being caused by Chrome’s execution of Silverlight plugin. Once I set it to run the plugin automatically for the web page, it behaves as expected. * I think the problem will be resolved when I publish .mp4 videos which most browsers can natively play. And yes, I had set it to play automatically on page load which further caused the confusion. * Also, it would be a cool feature to add “background-attachment: fixed;” option to the image component just so that I don’t have to keep creating galleries for single image displays when I want that affect on full width images. * Thank you all so much for your help! * Regards, Ganesh * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908620) * Glad to hear things are working. * And regarding the “background-attachment: fixed;” option in the image component I assume you are talking about the parallax gallery look, correct? * Thread Starter [ganesh.rao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ganeshrao-1/) * (@ganeshrao-1) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908759) * I was referring to the gallery->parallax feature, not parallax. * It appears that I’d need to go through a lot of trouble to create a dedicated gallery if all I wanted to include was just one image with the background-attachment attribute. * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-component-for-intergalactic-theme/#post-5908760) * Ah ok, I see. The gallery that has the parallax feature is called a stacked gallery. All you should need to do is create a stacked gallery with a single image and add that gallery component within your post :).
