It’s not your fault! You shouldn’t get dinged for the open graph standard. * Everytime I install a plugin I always check the HTML source to verify the plugin is going its job. If I find any alien HTML files or links the offending plugin is ejected as quickly as possible. * Part of this makes me wonder why can’t I serve the protocol files right off of my site instead of referring to a third party parser. But i’m sure that’s far beyond the scope of the plugin. - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Forcing WebM part 2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forcing-webm-part-2/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forcing-webm-part-2/#post-9613426) * Just wanted to give an update. * I found the problem. One of my PHP scripts that mask logins was not properly terminated. Although it didn’t error hard enough to whitescreen wordpress it did make functions.php ignore all statements beyond that point. The video extension array was effected by this. * Issue resolved due to user error. Apologies if any time was wasted. Marking this as resolved. Restoring MP4 as final fallback video codec on my site. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Forcing WebM part 2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forcing-webm-part-2/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forcing-webm-part-2/#post-9612673) * I’ll try to do a re-install of WordPress to see if any plugins or themes are messing with the code in my child theme. * In response to your PS: _I can do what I want._ * I did however check the metrics on the viewers to my primary site. Less then three percent of those users used an IE or Safari based browser combined based off of the Apache log files. It’s definitely a drop in the bucket to me. * I still provide MP4 on my primary site via hard-link. I just stripped it out of the video players for any blogs containing them until I can figure out why my code is not being accepted. It’s not that big of a deal while it’s getting fixed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[EWWW Image Optimizer] WebP for video poster embeds.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-for-video-poster-embeds/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-for-video-poster-embeds/#post-9099324) * Hey thanks for replying. * I am not using any plugins for videos. Just the video player that is included in WordPress core because third party plugin video players are either too old with using flash or totally break the theme on my site. * Give me a few days to setup the staging site. I will make it a mirror of my current except without any of the caching software that would get in the way of testing. * I will contact you with the info. * thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[EWWW Image Optimizer] WebP for video poster embeds.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-for-video-poster-embeds/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-for-video-poster-embeds/#post-8699528) * Hello! * You got it! * [https://www.s-config.com/razer-chroma-2014-keyboard-repair/](https://www.s-config.com/razer-chroma-2014-keyboard-repair/) * This one if you open network inspector in chrome it will show the posters Razer- Key-Test-Fail.jpg and Razer-Key-Test-Pass.jpg for the two short videos on the site.

Is the section where they are expecting me to manipulate the array. I was good to go! * ``` $array = apply_filters( 'wp_video_extensions', $array ); function filter_wp_video_extensions( $array ) { $array = str_replace ( 'webm' , 'blank' , $array ); $array = str_replace ( 'mp4' , 'webm' , $array ); $array = str_replace ( 'blank' , 'mp4' , $array ); return $array; }; add_filter( 'wp_video_extensions', 'filter_wp_video_extensions', 10, 1); ``` * Not a professional coder so if there was a better way for me to swap strings within the array let me know. This is my first time making a child theme for WordPress. I inspected the code in FireFox and Google Chrome and it’s loading the source videos in the order I want now. * Which means I no longer have to hack WordPress core files.

You do great work with this plugin and it has helped tremendously. However, I think even Google misses the point as to why people host their own content which can be summed up into one word: * “Control” * You state that the pages **_may _**not validate correctly. I’m willing to take that risk. * You state that I will loose all benefits of Googles CDN. If they are that power hungry then I no longer care about Googles CDN. AMP was designed to be a minimalist version of my website which can be accessed by mobile phones quickly. If Google can’t get out of its own way in terms of doing multiple DNS lookups for fonts and for the .js files. Then I will make Google get out of its own way. * If you are constantly reliant on third party servers and services in order to host your content. Then why even host it at all? Just go to blogspot. or disappear into the Facebook cloud. * It’s obvious that custom CSS will not be available for your plugin. Which means I’ll have to modify the plugin myself or find an AMP plugin that includes such features. * Once again, I thank you for your response, and understand that you must conform to the standards of Google. I guess I refuse to conform. * – S * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] It's good.. But it should stop linking itself to Yoast.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-good-but-it-should-stop-linking-itself-to-yoast/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-good-but-it-should-stop-linking-itself-to-yoast/#post-8132280) * Hello Joost, * Thank you once again for the response. But I am unfortunately going to have to disagree with the harmless nature of branding on an XML sitemap. As everything and anything that is published onto the internet can and will be used against you for analysis by google and their learning systems. * If you have hundreds and thousands of sites saying the same unique name over and over. Even if it isn’t hard-linked. Even if it’s just raw text. Then there is the potential for google learning system to assume that brand must be important rather then focusing on the content that the site provides. * Again, if the plugin is free I have no problem with this. Because the plugin simply wants to be known to the world for more businesses and users to find out about it. But when paying for premium I expect total silence from the plugin like many others I have paid for in the past. The developers have received their money from me and thus there is no reason for promotion unless it’s being blogged about specifically in a posting. * So, if one of the feature sets of premium is to not only remove the ads but also any and all branding then you got my $69. If not, I guess that’s okay too! I totally understand I’m possibly the one in five million that cares about this. I shall continue to delete lines 93 to 97 from /wp-content/plugins/wordpress- seo/css/xml-sitemap-xsl.php for starters. * I am also well aware that WordPress promotes and brands itself as the CMS of my site. But WordPress does offer ways of making the site not-so-blatent about it being a wordpress by hiding the meta widget as just one example. But it’s still present in its meta classifications on all pages. If WordPress offered a premium version to mask the CMS identification from the net I would totally be in line for that as well. * I simply like stealth just that much. Anyhow, thank you again for your time and your response. It is greatly appreciated. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Too many cookies.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-cookies/) * Thread Starter [sconfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sconfig/) * (@sconfig) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-cookies/#post-8132275) * Thank you for the clarification of the social icons widget and link to the cookies jet-pack uses.
