I have tried and tries to get a youtube video to work for the background just like in this example, I downloaded that free template, and it will not play, no matter what I do.
https://revolution.themepunch.com/wordpress-youtube-header/
I did already add the origin=www.mywebsite in the Youtube arguments section as well. (I searched online for a solution)
HI @bill9000,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
Could you please share me the screenshot of screen where you have used youtube video and also share your site URL where it’s happening so that I can troubleshoot it?
Best regards,
Shufflehound teamsent, thank you.
Your site uses HTTPS so in the origin youtube argument could you please use the same?
yes, I have tried both ways…
here it is, put back to https in the origin.
I am getting following javascript error message in the browser console of your site.
Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://cvpphoto.com').Please try using the solution posted in the following topic.

So, the solution was to remove the video and put back in? I’ve done that probably 100 times, it still does not work.
I have tried different videos, different arguments, nothing works.
anything else I can try? I really need this working.
We couldn’t reproduce the issue so don’t have any specific solution for it and you have to try changing youtube URL, removing origin and contact Slider Revolution to resolve it.
Also please make sure that you have configured HTTPS correctly on your site as described in the below pages.

It says to contact the theme author – and they don’t support bundled licenses.
to recap, I have:
- installed and reinstalled entire theme
- updated to current version of theme
- removed slider revolution and added new one
- tried many different youtube videos
- tried site with and without https being enabled
- tried origin with and without “www”
- tried default settings from sample
- disabled all plugins
- tried many different browsers
So at this point, I still have a giant problem, and no course of action to be able to fix it?
UPDATE:
It seems that it does work now on browsers except for Chrome.here’s an article showing the issue:
I have tried that fix and it did not work for me. But the issue is supposedly fixed in Revolution Slider 5.4.8 – so when will that new version be implemented into the theme? it seems like this is a pretty big issue.
I have notified the theme developer to update bundled slider revolution plugin.
The updated theme containing this change will be released ASAP.
any idea when that might be?
We have updated slider revolution plugin on our server so just delete and reinstall the plugin on your site to get latest version of it.
will do, thank you.
I did, and it still shows only version 5.4.7.2
5.4.8 is the current version.
here’s a screenshot.
Please see the attached screenshot what is displaying for me on my test site.
Update the theme version to the below latest version and just delete and reinstall the plugin on your site to get latest version of it.
