Background Video was Working Now Isnt?

SP Page Builder 2 years ago

I built this site on a temp domain and the background video was working perfectly, since using Akeeba to backup and transfer the video wont show up, despite re uploading and trying other videos etc, it just wont show, the paths are 100% right.

this is it working: https://fwork.temp-gingerweb.com (underneath the Instagram feed "Blow your Own Glass")

The live site (which isnt live yet login in hidden content) is here: https://www.fireworkglassstudio.co.uk/

I even imported the template from the build site and tried that section as a saved section, where am i going wrong please?

Richard, becuase you still have SPPB 3.x you have easier life, you can use back-end editor. Click at "tools" icon. It's also on front-end editor, but here all is more clear.

Maybe use Youtube clip instead, video mp4 files may be too heavy in some cases. I have quite fast net, so I don't see delays.

Settings for Youtube/Vimeo video are that same, but quality depends on youtube, not us.

The main question is ... how many percent of people will scroll down and see 2nd video? 20-40%?
Maybe static bg image will be good enough in this case. You have to think also about website speed, loading time as well.

This is so frustrating, i have been trying to get this right for 3 weeks now. OK i have given up on trying to get a video to display here, even a youtube one wont work at all so i want to put an image over the background, i have done this loads of times before but i cant get THIS section to take the background image.

The image i want is the last one uploaded if you go to add an image and is cuirrently set as the ROW background image but doesnt show up on the website.

The section for this to go IS NOT THE TOP SLIDESHOW it is under the Instagram feed with the green background it is the Row with the Text Block "Blow your own glass"

Can you please help me get this background image to show?

This is what i have added: https://prnt.sc/tOfCiCNVCJ_G

From SPPB Settings:

  1. Lazy Load : Off
  2. If you enabled Production Mode: click button "Purge Cached CSS"
  3. Preview site again.

Inside that Row you have Column, check its settings and REMOVE/DELETE this class name: major_color_bckg-40

it was created by Flex template developer.
