2.14.0 16.12.2022

In my eyes, MP4 files are the purest way to show video, no related videos or controls shown, just autoplaying video

• Added: MP4 video on registration page (default and done with Shortcodes)
• Added: MP4 video on thank you page (default and done with Shortcodes)
  Benefits: Plugin try to play registration CTA video with sound, if fails autoplay muted and shows “unmute button”
  Sure in the webinar room we have the same nice MP4 player.
  Browser tested: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari on Windows and Mac
• Changed: Use latest “videojs” library
• Todo: Remove: Picture in Picture (PiP) on hover in Firefox on registration page, thank you page and webinar room
  Comment on PIP in Firefox, we found an iFrame solution, but it would not load the video as nice as a before.
  We feel as FF is not taking care of video standards like Chrome ect. we keep it like that. Also the market share of FF is very less.

2.13.1 13.12.2022

Auto webinar ended redirect delay to show CTA after video ended

You can keep CTA a) showing permanently, b) with redirect, c) NEW with a delayed redirect

• New: Added “Ending Redirect Delay” for auto webinar
  Benefits: In combination with keep showing the last CTAs you can show the CTA for x seconds before redirect.
  Tip: Show the CTA that is longer than the video time set the CTA hide time longer than the video time.
• Fix: Redirect (if set) after video ended (to be working with the keep CTA shown at the end of the video)
• Fix: Pass preview parameter to skip mark watch procedure
  Benefits: In preview also redirects, CTA showing to the end of the video and delayed redirect.
• Fix: Button text missing, because of missing style, for always show sidebar CTA

• Fix: Always show overlay CTA over-sizing issue
• Fix: CTA action button does not display nice when text is long

• Fix: Modern webinar room CTAs on mobile:
  Overlay CTA and Sidebar CTA was showing above each other below the video.
  Now: Sidebar CTAs show below the video and the overlay video keep showing above the video.
  If you need to have overlay CTA show below the video, that could be the case if you shown an iframe or high height content,
  a) use the former webinar room design (design and shortcode tab), that will show overlay content below.
  b) wait for the fix in next version, where it is improved

First the most user experience the main focus of the release was the webinar room build inside your page builder and added functionality by WebinarIgnition shortcodes.

report issues here.)

• Redone: Redirect system from one page to an other
• Redone: Preview functionality, now you can preview every shortcode customised page with your page builder

Evergreen webinars Call-to-Action (CTA) Fix/Redone/ADDED Features (all licenses free/paid)

Brought by user Sandra, then Idrees the developer redone the CTA code and together with the ideas of owner Tobias. It took us one months of developing and testing.

If you have issues with wrong numbered CTAs Title (should be 1,2,3-x, not 1,4,2) or “click here” named tabs in webinar room than please delete the not working CTAs, copy all content and tab names to a text file as backup. Sorry for the extra work, i did the same on the demo

• Added: Nice transition to show the sidebar with CTA and remove the white space.
• Improved: CTA in sidebar and overlay now triggered by video time instead of cookie which is more stable
• Added: Possible to setup CTAs in sidebar and in overlay (over the video) at the same time
• Added: Multiple CTA can now be viewed in the sidebar at the same time
  Benefits: When have the same time, all tabs will be shown in sidebar.
  If you only want one tab at a time, set the time not overlaping like
  00:00 – 00:15 and 00:16 – 00:22
• Updated: “Show CTAs based on time in Video” is now default, on new webinars (before default was “Allways show CTA”), which hidden the multiple CTA feature
• Added: In Preview admins can no jump to any time also when video overlay CTA is shown.
• Updated: Disable CTA button by leaving the button field empty instead of writing “off” in the field
• Added: Thanks Ruddy for bringing up that webinar video can be full width and show a CTA on time. See Article with video for details)

(#1) (show up in free version in evergreen webinars and ultimate incl. trial.)
Trial ultimate version now to supercharge your webinar!

(#2) We tested WebinarIgnition 2.3.0+ compatible working with PHP 8.
Still do not use PHP 8 yet!
Because at the moment pure PHP 8 code not allowed to be uploaded to wp.org yet.
This makes it difficult for developers to be PHP 8 compatible.
WordPress wrote:
Currently, code checked into the plugin repository must be PHP 7.4 compatible. PHP 8 only code is not yet allowed for plugins.
Conclusion: To ensure a stable site wait until PHP 8 is settled.
