Video widget causes bad request

8 years ago · Last reply by Alex S 8 years ago

I am using the video widget on my product pages of my new website.
Checking my site at GTmetrix I saw that the widget is causing a bad request.

On this pages for example http://optipack.nl/accumulator the widget asks for http://optipack.nl/accumulator/flashmediaelement.swf which cause this error: The following requests are returning 404/410 responses. Either fix the broken links, or remove the references to the non-existent resources.

Everything works and I think it must be something small, but Google doesn’t like errors.

    Hi Marcel,

    So the SiteOrgin Video Player widget in this instance is making use of the standard WordPress video player – which is powered by MediaElement.js. As per older related threads on this issue, it appears to be as a result of the minify plugin incorrectly minifying this file. Please exclude (please refer to the FAQ for instructions):

    /wp-includes/js/mediaelement/wp-mediaelement.js
