    I have been using Litebox Ultimate v.1.4.4 to display FLV video on my site for more than 2 years without issues.

    I recently updated to WP 3.9.1

    I am using the “wp_lightbox_special_anchor_text_flv_video link” shortcode:

    [wp_lightbox_special_anchor_text_flv_video link=”http://mysite/freevideo/04.flv” width=512 height=384 title=”test” text=”Test FLV Video”]

    Until recently this worked flawlessly. Now when you click on the anchor text it spawns a download dialog box rather than the litebox overlay. This is a big problem as I have paid subscription content using this shortcode.

    In testing I can get FLV to work fine using the “wp_lightbox_flowplayer_anchor_text_video link” shortcode.

    The trouble is that I have close to 100 small video segments spread throughout the site and also the flowplayer has a blue overlay and all the rest of the site is using black.

    I would really like to continue using the original code to maintain design continuity as well as avoid the work involved tracking down all the instances on the site.

    I created a test page where you can see what I mean:

    Can you give me any idea of what I might need to do to retain the shortcodes I have already been using?

    Thanks Jason

    RESOLVED

    ==============================

    I was able to resolve this issue. It turned out that during the most recent update of the “W3 Total Cache” plugin the CDN function was toggled to “enable” by default. I disabled that function and dumped the cache and all is well again.
