    It’s been over 48 hours since our last update, so we’ll go ahead and temporarily close this topic for now. If you’d like to continue the conversation, you can reopen it anytime — we’ll be happy to pick up right where we left off.

    The message “Large JavaScript file is missing a sourcemap” in PageSpeed Insights is not an error and does not affect your site’s performance or functionality.

    Source maps (.map files) are optional developer tools that help you debug minified JavaScript by mapping the compressed code back to the original source. They are useful in development or staging environments, but not required in production.

    In fact, many production builds intentionally exclude sourcemaps to:

    • Reduce file size and loading time
    • Prevent exposing original source code
    • Improve security and privacy

    So, you can safely ignore this notice. It’s only informational — your site can still be fully optimized and production-ready without sourcemaps.

    Thanks for your question! Just to make sure we understand correctly—when you say “portfolio,” do you mean a showcase of your videos or a portfolio of other projects/content?

    If it’s a video showcase, All-in-One Video Gallery can definitely handle that with its galleries, playlists, and featured video layouts. If you mean a general portfolio for other content, you might need a separate portfolio plugin and then embed your videos into it.

    Could you clarify what kind of portfolio you’re looking for? That way we can suggest the best approach.

    Sure, you can mix YouTube and Vimeo videos and also find them easily later. Kindly refer to our Getting Started tutorial here:
    👉 https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/getting-started/
    (particularly the Step 2: Add Categories & Tags (Optional) section).

    The trick is to create categories or tags specific to your YouTube and Vimeo videos and assign them when adding your videos. This way, you can easily filter and manage them later.

    By default, each video is added one by one. Please see our guide here:
    👉 https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/add-your-first-video/

    However, the plugin also includes options to bulk add videos from YouTube and Vimeo, which is especially useful if you have 200+ videos.

    👉 https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/auto-import-vimeo-videos/

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks so much for getting back to us with the details.

    From what we can see, the spacing below the related videos is coming from your theme’s footer section, which is being hidden incorrectly. You can fix this by adding the following CSS under Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS in your WordPress Admin Dashboard:

    .single-aiovg_videos #site-footer {
    display: none;
    }

    In addition, the extra space above the related videos is caused by a hidden title element due to a theme/plugin conflict. To resolve that, please also add this CSS:

    .single-aiovg_videos h2.aiovg-header {
    color: inherit;
    font-size: 1.8em;
    }

    .single-aiovg_videos .aiovg-caption {
    display: none;
    }

    This will:

    • Remove the unwanted white space caused by the hidden footer.
    • Make the related videos title display correctly.

    Hopefully this resolves the issue for you. If the spacing still doesn’t look right, could you please share a screenshot of your single video page as it appears on your screen? That will help us fine-tune the fix to match your setup.

    Plugin Contributor wpvideogallery

    (@wpvideogallery)

    Yes, it’s definitely possible 🙂. If the issue is mainly about adjusting the vertical spacing, this can usually be handled with a small CSS tweak. Could you please share the URL of an example video page from your site and let us know which specific spacing you’d like to adjust (and how you’d like it to look)? That way, we can provide the most relevant steps for your case.

    Thanks for reporting back, and I’m happy to confirm that this was not a security issue with our plugin. Our plugin is 100% safe and secure.

    In this case, two different issues happened at the same time:

    1. The SSL warning was caused by video files being added with http:// instead of https://. That’s why browsers were showing a “not fully secure” warning. Updating video URLs to use https:// resolves that problem.
    2. The blank video page was due to our plugin’s CSS and JS files not loading properly on your server. After adjusting the plugin settings and reinstalling, everything started working fine again.

    We’re sharing this here so other users know there’s nothing to worry about — your videos and data remain safe, and the issue was not related to plugin security.

    If anyone else runs into a similar situation, the quickest fix is to:

    • Double-check that video URLs are added with https://
    • Reinstall the plugin (making sure to uncheck “Remove data on uninstall” and “Delete media files” under Video Gallery → Settings → Advanced)

    And of course, feel free to reach out here or via our website if you need help — we’re always glad to assist.

    My sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We were offline due to the weekend.

    This issue is quite unusual and generally occurs when the plugin’s player settings are not properly initialized. In most cases, this happens if the plugin is network activated on a WordPress multisite setup. Unfortunately, our plugin does not support network activation due to the way our premium license system works. For best results, we always recommend activating the plugin individually on each site within the network.

    Since the plugin is already network activated on your setup, please try the following fix:

    1. Connect to your site using FTP (e.g., FileZilla).

    2. Open the file:

      /public_html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/admin/admin.php

      3. Find the lines (around #36 – #39):

        // Insert the missing player settings 
        $player_settings = get_option( 'aiovg_player_settings' );

        $new_player_settings = array();

        4. Replace them with:

          // Insert the missing player settings
          $player_settings = get_option( 'aiovg_player_settings' );
          $new_player_settings = array();

          if ( ! is_array( $player_settings ) ) {
          $player_settings = array();
          $new_player_settings = $defaults['aiovg_player_settings'];
          }

          5. Save the file and try activating the plugin again.

            👉 This solution should resolve the player settings issue. However, if other plugin settings were also not inserted properly, you may experience similar errors with them as well. In that case, we recommend submitting a support ticket so our team can review the setup in detail.

            If the problem still persists, kindly submit a support ticket here: https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/support/ so we can assign a developer to investigate directly on your site and apply the fix for you.

            Note:
            This is the first time we’ve received a report of this particular issue, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be including an improved fix in our next plugin update to ensure the player settings (and other settings) are always generated correctly if missing.

            Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions—we’re happy to help.

            We’re still waiting for your support ticket. If the issue persists even after disabling “Lazy Load Iframes” in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, it’s likely that another plugin is applying similar lazy loading behavior.

            To help us investigate further, please share a list of the plugins you’re using. Ideally, we recommend submitting a support ticket through our website so we can assist you more efficiently.

            Looking forward to your response.

            The popup template always uses the iframe player, regardless of whether the “Force JavaScript Based Initialization” option is enabled. I can confirm that the issue is still related to lazy loading.

            To help us look into this more closely, please submit a support ticket at:
            https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/support/

            Kindly include a link to this forum thread in your message. This will allow us to review the full context and request any additional information we may need to assist you more effectively.

            Aah. Sorry about that. Kindly try using the updated code below:

            function override_aiovg_videos_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
            if ( 'aiovg_videos' !== $post_type ) {
            return $args;
            }

            if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_aiovg_options' ) ) { // Not an admin
            if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {
            $args['show_in_menu'] = true;
            $args['menu_position'] = 5;
            $args['menu_icon'] = 'dashicons-playlist-video';
            }
            }

            return $args;
            }

            add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'override_aiovg_videos_post_type_args', 11, 2 );

            Yes, this is possible with our Premium version. You can refer to this tutorial for full details on enabling front-end video submissions:
            https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/front-end-user-submission/

            However, please note that users submitting videos from the front-end cannot set view permissions for their videos. Instead, the site administrator can define viewing restrictions that apply globally to all videos added to the site. For more information, please see the “Enable Global Restrictions” section in this guide:
            https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/access-restrict-videos/

            Plugin Contributor wpvideogallery

            (@wpvideogallery)

            The “Restrictions” option is specifically designed to control front-end access to videos—i.e., who can view the videos on your site. For full details, please see our guide here:
            https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/access-restrict-videos/

            However, I understand you’re referring to back-end access—specifically, allowing user roles other than “Administrator” to access the plugin’s settings and features. By default, the plugin’s back-end is only accessible to site administrators.

            If you’d like to grant access to other roles (e.g., Editors), please follow the steps outlined in this WordPress support thread:
            https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-permissions-10/#post-18582434

            Let us know if you need help implementing those changes.

            (@wpvideogallery)

            Thank you for reaching out — and sincere apologies for the unexpected change in behavior.

            Starting from a recent update, we implemented a security hardening change based on feedback from a security researcher (Mohamad Nour Almujarkesh). You can find the relevant note in the “Security Hardening” section of our changelog.

            What Changed?

            Previously, users with the Editor role could access and manage video posts. However, because the Editor role includes the unfiltered_html capability (which can introduce potential security risks), we have now disabled backend access to video content for editors by default.

            How to Restore Editor Access

            If you trust your editors and would like to re-enable their access, you can do so programmatically by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

            function override_aiovg_videos_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
            if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_aiovg_options' ) ) { // Not an admin
            if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {
            $args['show_in_menu'] = true;
            $args['menu_position'] = 5;
            $args['menu_icon'] = 'dashicons-playlist-video';
            }
            }

            return $args;
            }

            add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'override_aiovg_videos_post_type_args', 11, 2 );

            This will ensure that Editors can once again see and edit video posts from the admin dashboard.

            Hope this solved your issue!
