   When you create a post or page on a wordpress blog...Does it exist on my server? Or just in my database?

   I'm trying to get a FLV plugin to work, in order to get the video to play I have to install an SWF player in the same folder that my post/page exsist.

   The author of the plugin is telling me to do the following:
   put the player in the same folder as the page that has the video sequence.

   if the page is at

   http://yourwebsite.com/wordpress/blog/2010/10/05/test/

   then the player goes

   http://yourwebsite.com/wordpress/blog/2010/10/05/test/singleFlvPlayer7.swf

   NOT

   http://yourwebsite.com/wordpress/singleFlvPlayer7.swf

   I always thought that the post and pages only existed in your database not an actual file/folder on your server.

   Thanks in advance for your help.

   you are correct, they only exist in the database

   the author of the plugin is giving you very strange advice. Is it a WordPress plugin?

   Hey Voodoo,
   Thanks for the response. It is a wordpress plugin that we hired someone to build.

   I thought the advice was strange as well. Just wanted to confirm I wasn't overlooking something.

   In a plugin, you should only need one player. In the wp-content/plugins/your-plugin folder somewhere. The plugin should be coded to resolve your vid content to that player from any post or page. Most likely by use of a shortcode
