Hi there,

The site you linked to is not using VYSUAL as its theme. Please be sure to use VYSUAL in order for me to review any issues you're having...

You can upload videos via FTP. I recommend creating a folder on your main domain called "videos" and put the mp4 there. That way it's a really easy URL like this...

http://mydomain.com/videos/myvideo.mp4

Regarding the play button, that is loaded when you have posts with the "video" post format assigned. More info here: http://themolitor.com/help/vysual/#postoformats

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

Its also not showing the header text at the top of the page.. when I refresh it sometimes it shows but most of the time it doesn't.
Here's the link to my site http://polygonsf.com

So I've decided to just keep a slideshow image as the background, but I'm trying to figure out how to set it up like your original Demo where theres just a simple white play button that links to a video. When i put a video post in there it shows the full embedded youtube box, not just a little play button. How do i get around this?

I just read the post below mine and saw that I need a self hosted MP4 for my background.
Do I upload an MP4 through FileZilla, and what folder would I put it in?
Would appreciate some help with this process!

Thanks :)

Hi there, I finally was able to install the theme via FileZilla but when I put a YouTube URL in the MP4 url dialog for the home page, nothing happens and it just says "nothing found". Wondering how I can get around this?

Thanks!
