When you upload videos, is there an option to save them on Google Drive or somewhere else other than our server?

Hi,

1. Correct, you can find more details about the Bunny Stream service at https://bunny.net/stream

And their API is already integrated https://phpface.ticksy.com/article/19801/

2. I encourage you to set up the theme yourself, however, if you are interested in hiring me, please let me know.

And if you purchase the theme, don’t hesitate to open a ticket at https://phpface.ticksy.com

Let me know if you have any pre-sale questions.

Thanks.

Awesome! Do appreciate your quick response. I will first try to install the theme. If not, contact you for further help. Thanks again!

Thank you.

Hi. I know my support is expired but I ask you for an exception because I have never used this theme until this week even though it has waited in my downloads for ages. I am a long time customer and currently have paid support for streamtube. I am trying to integrate webp animation hover effect similar to streamtube. Chatgpt helped me create a custom field using ACF plugin to achieve this but it failed to ultimately finish the job when it came to providing me with php and css modifications to make it work. Please see the JSON from ACF plugin here: https://pastebin.com/7MKcikey al I ask is that you provide me with the modified php for child theme and the css for wordpress “additional css” to make this field work on the front end.

I like the old school look of videotube for this particular project

Actually, you can replicate the same layout with StreamTube. It supports fullwidth, boxed, and wide content layouts. Additionally, StreamTube also offers a horizontal menu option similar to VideoTube.

You already have StreamTube, why don’t give it a try? ;)

Yes I did end up switching to it. It’s fine :)

Hi, I have 2 questions about VideoTube’s widget size.

1. I am trying to display ads within VideoTube’s Inner Page Right widget area. However, the size of the widget area is smaller than the ad size so the ad doesn’t display. Is there a way to manipulate and increase (specify) the widget area size?

2. Is there a way to add widget areas so that I can put widgets on the left side of a video page?

Hi,

1. You need to configure your ad size to fit within the sidebar area or make it smaller.

2. To achieve that, you will need to know WordPress coding knowledge and manually modify the single video template.

Thanks.

Hi there, we are using your theme since a while and tried to change some colors. The theme behaves funny sometimes but we finally got it half way there were we wanted it to be. But so far we failed to change the colors of the header font and font color of the body, for the page builder video titles. Can you give us a hint here?

Is there also a way to change the margins between the navigation menu and the body ?

Thanks!

Thanks! This helps a lot. Only the Excerpts did not change color, everything else works fine with the CSS code.

That is what I have mentioned, the theme does not support dark colors, so, applying a dark background could potentially affect all white elements and I do not offer support for such customization, the provided CSS is just a sample, If you’re looking to make further enhancements, please consider hiring a freelancer.

All good, we figured it out. Your examples helped to adjust the other codes too.

Hello,

2 issues suddenly appeared on my website :

1- when i copy/paste video link in link field of video post, the link disappears after publishing or on preview.

2- when i add featured image in video post, the featured image doesn’t show.

No problem in regular posts, only happens in video posts.

Links and featured images remain in old video posts, only new posts are affected.

Could you please help ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

In the video submission function I’d like to make thumbnail upload required (mandatory). How can I edit the shortcode so that this is possible?

Also, I’d like to show a specific page after a video is uploaded (possibly a page saying “Upload complete – Please wait for the video approval.”) How can I change the site behavior?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi,

1. I suggest activating the child theme and adding the following code to the end of videotube-child/functions.php file

https://pastebin.com/4HGkDK3U

2. You can navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Submit Form and select a custom page from the ‘Redirect to’ field. The form will redirect users to this page after submitting, but only users in subscriber or contributor roles.

I hope that helps.

It worked! Thanks for the precise & accurate advice!

You are welcome, let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks.

Hello, How can I automatically show thumbnails for videos that are hosted on the wordpress server (not from YouTube or any other platforms)? Does the plugin “Video Thumbnails” work for this purpose?

Hello,

Unfortunately, It’s impossible to generate video image from self-hosted files.

FYI: This can be achieved if your server supports FFmpeg or if you use a streaming service like Bunny Stream or Cloudflare Stream, however, this feature is exclusively supported by StreamTube, my latest video theme, it’s not available for VideoTube, sorry.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Hi

I would like to know if you themplate and/or videoplayer also works with torrent urls and/or magnet urls. Basically what I want is a themplate that turns torrent/magnet urls into streaming videos. I think it will need a different player for that, not sure tho. So im hoping you can point me to the right direction on how to get this done and which files must be modified. If you can tell me that im going to buy the script, because thats what I need.

Basically, the themplate will become a P2P streaming platform. It will stream the videos without having to store the whole video files on the server, it will just stream the video by loading the torrent/magnet url.

I really hope you understand what I am and hope you can help me out with this. If you need an example of website who do this I can send you an email.

Best regards,

Hello,

Unfortunately, that is not supported.

Thanks.

Hi, Related Videos does not display, what should I do?

Hi,

You can navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Socials and enable the “Allow Guest to Like” option.

How to change the thumnail size to be 180×250, I need image to display in vertical, other than 16:9

Unfortunately, that is not supported.

Honestly, I recommend choosing StreamTube over VideoTube as it offers a wide range of features and greater flexibility.

https://themeforest.net/item/streamtube-responsive-video-wordpress-theme/33821786

StreamTube is specifically designed for a video sharing platform, while VideoTube is more suitable for a video blog theme with limited options. If you are considering switching to StreamTube, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello,

I purchased your videotube theme in 2017 and have used it. I would update a current from version 2.2.9 however no purchased history in my account even officially bought it at envato market. I don’t know if I made another account for this theme purchase. I still have a original zip file. So in this case, let me know how to update my usign videotube theme. Otherwise I will purchased the theme again.

Thank you, I will ask them first.

I asked my problem but it is hard to resolve in my situation so I should buy a new one to update from my old version if possible. Can I update my current version to a latest videotube purchased with a different envato account?

Hi,

Yes, you can.

Please be aware that any modifications made to the theme will be lost during the update process, except for changes made in the child theme.

Thanks.

here is a sample of some videos i have uploaded and how slow and how it stops and starts videos https://videostreamingtube.com/

Hello,

Firstly, I noticed that you purchased StreamTube, not VideoTube, so please write your questions on the StreamTube comment page if you need assistance https://themeforest.net/item/streamtube-responsive-video-wordpress-theme/33821786/comments

Secondly, I recommend updating the theme and all bundled plugins as I noticed that you are using outdated versions, please refer That is a common question and we have three options:

Please let me know which specific option you are interested in so I can provide you with more detailed answers https://themeforest.net/item/streamtube-responsive-video-wordpress-theme/33821786/comments

Finally, I will close this comment as it is unrelated to the VideoTube theme and has the potential to cause misunderstandings.

Thanks.

thank you and i’ll repost on the other thread for more help if i need.

Can this theme work with videos hosted on Backblaze B2?

Hi, I tried Backblaze B2 with Twenty Twenty theme and it works. I think it may work with VideoTube too. Is it possible to enable video embedding on the demo site so I can test it if it works. Thank you.

If that’s the case, I believe it should work. The theme supports embedding remote video files.

However, please keep in mind that B2 is primarily a cloud storage solution and is not suitable for a video platform.

If you’re looking for more advanced features like transcoding your uploads to HLS playback with multiple resolutions and bitrates, as well as high bandwidth support, you may consider other streaming services such as Bunny Stream or Cloudflare Stream, and these service APIs are only integrated within StreamTube.

Additionally, StreamTube also offers the option to transcode your uploads locally without relying on external streaming services. This can be beneficial if you have a VPS or dedicated server with sufficient resources to handle the transcoding process.

Although VideoTube is my best-selling theme, if you’re looking for a robust and automated WordPress video theme, I highly recommend considering StreamTube, ultimately, your choice.

Thanks.

Thank you for the detailed clarification.

I have uploaded the theme to wp but I can only see a blog page with the videotube logo, how do I delete the blog and make the theme work on a only website version?

Thank you for taking a look at the theme. If you’d like to see the upload form in action, you can refer to the following URLs and demo accounts. The upload form functions flawlessly and delivers a professional experience like you’ve never seen before. Live Previews

Could you share the website URL and admin credentials via the following form? I will have a look into it.

Does the theme allow me to use bunny cdn embed for the videos upload?

Hello,

Yes it does, Bunny Stream API is integrated, you may refer to the documentation for further information Thanks for your interest.

Hello, Is this only integrated for your other theme Streamtube only?

Or is it also included in this theme VideoTube? Because I am well aware your other new theme has bunny integrated but for this theme it wasn’t really stated clearly if it has bunny support

I didn’t realize that you talked about the VideoTube theme, unfortunately, the Bunny Stream API is not available for VideoTube. However, VideoTube does support Bunny video embed code

If you are looking for a robust video streaming theme, StreamTube is recommended.

Thanks for your interest.

Hello again, some additional support requested 1 – how to add 9:16 vertical video display option? 2 – I have all videos set to Pending when they are first submitted. When I submit a video, I am redirected to display the video, but since it’s not published, I get the error page. How can I set the redirect to a different page?

Hello,

1. Unfortunately 9×16 is not supported.

2. You can set a “Redirect To” page from Appearance > Theme Options > Submit Form section, did you try it?

Regarding the Register Link, activating the VideoTube Register Link plugin and enabling the “Membership” option will show the link.

To be honest, VideoTube is primarily designed as a video blog theme. If you’re seeking a robust video streaming platform with support for multiple authors, I highly recommend my latest theme: StreamTube

https://themeforest.net/item/streamtube-responsive-video-wordpress-theme/33821786

It offers a diverse range of powerful features, flexibility and extensibility, it supports a 9×16 ratio and the Upload form functions seamlessly, featuring its own user dashboard and a multitude of additional features.

If you are interested in purchasing StreamTube and would like a refund for VideoTube, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello, Yes, I will change to StreamTube. Look for a refund request. Thanks for your help.

Hello. This is not working: How to add “Register” link onto the VT Login/Profile Widget?

1. Install VideoTube Register Link plugin.

2. Go to Settings/General, check on “Membership” checkbox and save change the settings http://puu.sh/8zIDA.png

Result http://puu.sh/8zIFs.png

I’d like to have this functionality.

Hello, Regarding the Video Upload shortcode – 1) I would like to remove the option to “Record a video” 2) I would like to remove the option to add a tag, and instead have them select from tags, similar to the Category selection 3) I would like to remove or hide the Layout option and restrict it to being small 4) After submitting a video link, OR uploading a video, I am redirected to an error page, not the page I selected in the Theme Options Submit Form Redirect to…

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

1. You can hide the “Record a video” tab by pasting the following CSS snippet into the “Additional CSS” field in the “Appearance > Customize” section https://pastebin.com/66rzs0Ju

2. Unfortunately, the tag field is not intended for that specific purpose.

3. Navigate to Theme Options > Submit Form and disable the “Show the Layout dropdown” field.

4. It appears that the selected page has a status of “pending” or “private”, have you published the page?

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help… 1 – added the CSS and that did the trick. 2 – I set the display mode in CSS to “none” and hid it. But I would like to have it pre-load a specific tag. 3 – I disabled the selection as you indicated – perfect 4 – well now when I upload the video I am re-directed to a page that shows the uploaded video. So that works fine. To answer your question, the page was published.

Thanks again, Dan

Hi, I’d like to buy the theme and i have few questions.

Is it possible to upload several videos at a time? The themes is pre-roll ads friendly ?

Thanks, Regards,

Hi,

I recommend the StreamTube theme for its excellent support of file uploads, pre/mid/post-roll ads, and a wide range of powerful features. However, it currently does not have the capability to upload multiple files simultaneously within a single tab.

Thanks for your interest.

I am using Amazon S3 to host my media files, and am using the Pro version of MediaCloud plugin to connect with the S3 bucket.

As you know, the Video Thumbnails plugin is no longer supported. How can I get thumbnails from my Amazon S3 cloud and have them inserted as the featured image for video posts?

Hello,

I regret to inform you that generating thumbnail images from S3 is not possible. Additionally, the Video Thumbnails plugin only supports generating images from YouTube, Vimeo, and other video websites.

If you have a VPS/dedicated server with FFmpeg installed, you may consider my StreamTube theme, which can automatically generate images and transcode videos.

Thanks.

Hi
