Fix YouTube video displaying over stuff
Fix YouTube video displaying over stuff
One of the difficulties with modern web design and development is it’s complexity. We’re no longer working in simple html. We’re working in (at least) 3 or 4 different programming languages, and having to work with lots of different web based program, like WordPress, and then having to stay on top of 3rd party sites, like the YouTube video embed code, that continues to change. It’s really a roller coaster ride!
One problem with Youtube is the embed code. You tub emakes it easy to share video or post it on your site…. but every so often the video shows on top of important things… like a menu. The old fix was to use a z-index setting. But that doesn’t seem to work any more. (there is a jquery fix I’ll give in a minute).
Add the following code to the end of your youtube embed code
wmode=”Opaque”
alternatively you can use the z-index and add the following to your JQuery:
$(document).ready(function ()
$(‘iframe’).each(function()
var url = $(this).attr(“src”)
$(this).attr(“src”,url+”?wmode=transparent”)
);
);
I hope this help you out.
Ok that’s great. According to my knowledge The WordPress Maintenance are .Back Up,Checking Plugins,Updating etc..WordPress,Check Your Links,Improving Security etc..1) Backup your datasabe and your files. You can use a number of plugins (Backup buddy is a good one) to do this, or if you trust your hosting company, there is often a file and datasabe backup utility within your cpanel.2) Update plugins. This one is easy. Go to your plugins and look for any that need to be updated. All you need to do is click the update button and you’re done.3) Make sure you have the latest version of WordPress. WordPress will tell you on your dashboard if you need to upgrade. Simply follow the instructions – it’s not difficult.4) If you’re not using the akismet plugin, you can get it here – AKISMET . This will protect your site from spam.
I recommend staying away from Backup Buddy. Yes, I have tried the plugin. I have found that it doesn’t really save any time or any steps in transferring a site, it is intensive on the mysql and might make your site go down.
The big issue about making updates is doing the research to find out if there are any known conflicts with existing plugins BEFORE you do the update. If you perform the update and there are conflicts… critical parts of your site might go down for weeks or even longer. And the only option to get your site running properly again is to restore the entire site from a back up copy.
