Cresta, thanks for looking into this. This would explain it, as I did make the switch from http to https. Do you know if there’s any workaround for this so that both the older http links AND the new https links are both included in the Creta FB counter? For example, is there anything I can do with my FB app setup?

I do not. I’m assuming that will fix things? Could you briefly explain what the regex option does?

Amboutwe, thanks for letting me know. This was in fact a conflict with another plugin, and following the steps you outlined, I was able to identify the culprit. Thank you!

It’s now working! I resubmitted the card to Twitter, and they approved the Player card. It seems to work fine with and without the Steam field populated, but if you leave the URL out of that Stream field, it requires 2 clicks to get the video started in the Twitter feed. If you populate both the fields, it works perfectly.

Thank you so much for the most recent update. It seems to have solved the issue. In case you want to see how it looks and what I’ve done, I’ve tweeted it here:

You’ll see I’ve featured a video that’s hosted on YouTube, but I’ve got the actual link sending users to my own webpage.

Thanks so much for your willingness to address this. I do think that being able to have the video card functionality work for a self-hosted website page w/embedded YouTube video would be fantastic because it does allow you to feature the YouTube video while driving traffic and click through to your site.

If it’s helpful to your development, when I tried to submit this site to the Twitter Cards validator with this using the Twitter Cards meta data here:

. . . I got this response from Twitter:

Hope this is helpful, and looking forward to seeing the next update. Your Plugin is really fantastic, and if I can get this working, I’ll definitely be recommending it to everyone i know. Thank you for all your help and willingness to address.
