    Hi, I’m using the following shortcode to display a YouTube video using locally hosted captions. The captions aren’t displaying for the YouTube video, but they are displaying for a locally hosted video with locally hosted captions. Please advise.

    [ableplayer youtube-id=”UQgVnhDjCoQ” captions=”https://www.bestopportunities.org/vtt/cara-homepage.vtt|en|English”]

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You need to switch the URL to use https; your actual captions file is being loaded as http://www.bestopportunities.org..., and is being blocked by the browser as mixed-content.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I added the “s” to https and the captions are still not showing. Please advise.

    Hi, I figured it out. The shortcode preferred a local link rather than an absolute link. It’s working now.
