I’m sorry my reply may not be particularly helpful.

I would consider trying another slider plugin.

I would consider, not using a slider (they are bulky & distracting) instead consider a hero image, and then promote your other content/slides, below in another way…

Sliders look great and seem fun and cool but my experience along with many studies show they are not really great at helping people navigate the site to find what they want etc…

Otherwise, you’ll need to find which files the slider plugin is using and then instruct cloudflare to “not” mess with those files (which will result in some performance degradation as it may not Rocket Load, those assets…)

Same here:

This is in my error log.

Reaching our shortly on Xumm but assuming others are having this issue I thought it might be helpful to have some public information about it for others to find..

Thanks

Dang I wish it worked.. Cant you submit to official woo store and make a little money to motivate you more? I’d pay for it

This plugin is niche, its not “a player” there are tons of AMAZING players out there, but not one that Encodes to multiple formats and resolutions, not one that automatically selects best resolution along with manual resolution selection for someone experiencing a slow connection, not one that lets you generate and then select a thumbnail… all this functionality does exist but its not compiled in to a plugin such as this… It does exist as a service, which that service hosts the videos… thus jacking the price as they’ll charge for bandwidth and space…

This plugin here takes several niche functionality and needs, and brings it in to one… a yearly fee is absolutely needed, especially if he charged ONLY up to $50 a year, thats less than $5 a month, if you’re using such a plugin and are not making enough money to justify less than $5 a month you’ll most likely end up dropping whatever you’re doing anyone in a year, most hobbies cost more than $5 a month.

Maybe he can offer premiums to developers or something for an upfront one time cost so they can use the plugin on their clients sites and not have to incorporate a recurring cost, but again an upfront larger fee… essentially a couple years or so paid in full… just a thought.

People offering stuff for free are awesome, but they’re also human… and will eventually lose interest when it begins to take too much time, incentive is part of life… our own brains will not do shit unless it thinks it needs to, so its important to show our brains what needs to be done etc, weird analogy but its part of nature 🙂

I encourage a yearly fee, $50 a year is a steal… if Kyle thinks he’d be able to get enough customers to justify just $50 a year per, that’d be sick.

I really do hope though we could get video url signing to protect videos as much as possible, easily… self hosted and all… 😀

Kyle, please take a lesson from WooThemes and probably many others.

At a yearly license fee of $99.00 at 50 recurring members would be $4,950… I hope you could anticipate at least say 200 active members/license holders and be able to do abou $19k a year to maintain it.. no idea if thats not really enough or what but I would highly suggest you do a yearly license fee.

Your plugin is super niche, there’s been a lot of people who downloaded it yes but I don’t think it would be considered a “huge” plugin in regards to how many people will actually need to continue using it over years… like myself, but if I’m going to use it indefinitely then I don’t see problem paying for a yearly license… as you said you’ll still have the free version, anyone who needs the premium and cant afford $99 for an entire year of updates etc, probably will not actually be around to need to renew their license anyways…

Don’t sell yourself short, make the initial costs reasonable for everyone, aka $99… but then if they’re using it a year later then they should likely be making some money too… and can afford to renew… if not then thats too bad for them, open source and wordpress and all this free stuff is incredible… but your plugin is niche, its complex… also a yearly license fee assures that IF sales begin to die off and not continue to come in, that you’ll have the renew fees from members each year coming in, to help you with continual income for continual support…

Also, please make a manual user option to select the quality of the video they want to play… like YouTube… i use that feature on YouTube constantly depending on my current situation, and since your plugin already generates multiple resolutions and such, that this kind of option would be great, and not being a programmer, I feel like it wouldn’t be that complicated 🙂

One more thing, you posted this 9 months ago, any kind of update on your progress with this? would love to hear.

Thanks!

What if, and this might not fit for everyone but…

What if there was a custom post type from your plugin which any “custom content” would be added there…. then, through caching settings we could exclude that post type from being cached, I think the caching plugins could do this, right? Then as far as something like cloudflar or wpengine caching we could exlucde the .com/cbc_post.* or something to remove anything from that post type from being cached..

Personally I want to display things like “Free UK Shipping” or “Free USA Shipping” etc etc… so having a custom post type to store this and then exclude from cache seems like a good possibility.

🙂

Thanks!
