Videopress Shortcode not working on Self Hosted Blogs

  As of updating to WordPress 3.0 on two separate self hosted sites, posts created using Videopress shortcodes in combination with the Videopress plugin version 1.1.2, are no longer working. These were working flawlessly. The videos are displaying on the wordpress.com blog where the VideoPress upgrade is held. Using the embed code instead of the shortcode seems to work on the self hosted sites.

  I also tried inspecting the code on the self hosted sites, and copy and pasting the data parameter from the flash player into a new browser window. It works! This leads me to think that there is some sort of restriction that is being triggered in the player when using the shortcode on a self hosted site.

  Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

  Here are the sites:

  @foxyea

  We really can not help you in this forum. This is a forum for wordpress.COM and you are asking about a site on wordpress.ORG.

  Your platform/software is very different from ours. Our answers will not necessarily apply to you.

  You will find help here:
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you want to know more details about how different your self hosted blog using wp.ORG software is from our free wp.COM blogs:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  @1tess,

  Thanks for the prompt reply. I have posted this request on .ORG also:

  Who is the best group to contact for VideoPress support? I have purchased VideoPress and I am developing websites based upon the shortcode API.

  Sheri,

  Thanks! That worked. I replaced the Viper’s video quicktags with the FLV Embed plugin, and now all posts are working. I will post this to the forums.

  Best,

  KM

  Hi,
  There is a conflict with VideoPress and the Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin. Do you have that plugin installed on your foxyea.com site? Can you try disabling it?
