Hello,
I'm working on building a template to pull in my CPT content I built using Toolset. Everything worked fine UNTIL I got the the "Video / Media" tab (below the picture).

Here's the URL - hidden link

It will bring over the links that I entered in, but it doesn't resolve as a video it just shows the URL's. How can that be fixed?

Thanks

Hi Dwayne,

I tried to look at the link you've sent me but i'm getting a "Page Not Found" error.

Can you perhaps provide me with a screenshot highlighting the issue so that I can better understand ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
Here's an screenshot that I'm getting. I need the video URL to resolve the videos. Also, let me know if you need access to the backend of the site.

Thanks for the quick support

Hi Dwayne,

Actually not seeing any screenshots.

What you can do is to provide the access and let me know where I can see the issue. These instructions need to be exact so that it can help to speed up the debug process.

I've enabled the private fields for you.

Hi Dwayne,

I found the issue. Elementor doesn't automatically embed the URL's for the videos so you will need to use the Types shortcode.
[types field='embed-video-url'][/types]

I've already added this to your template and saved it as a draft.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
