Hi

According to the TubePress WordPress documentation the parameter 'youtubePlayerTheme' changes the colour theme of the video player and the valid values are "dark" or "light".

http://tubepress.com.../Config:YouTube

The example on the page is as follows: [tubepress youtubePlayerTheme="false"]

I am confused: the valid values are given as "dark" or "light" but the example is "false". I tried "dark" "light" "true" "false" but there was no change. YouTube player stayed black.

How can I make it change to white as it is when using the YouTube parameter "theme=light" like in this page? (Example not using TubePress.)

Thank you.

Hi,

I apologize for the confusion - this is definitely my fault. In anticipation of the upcoming release of TubePress 3.0.0 I've jumped the gun a little and updated the docs. The light/dark options are not built in to TubePress 2.x.x.

To get this functionality now, you can perform the following small edit. Just after this line, add the following:

$link->setQueryVariable('theme', 'light');

That should do it. Let us know?

That worked. Thanks to the information you gave me, I went a step more and changed the colour of the progress bar from red to white by adding the following two lines.

$link->setQueryVariable('theme', 'light');
$link->setQueryVariable('color', 'white');

The result can be seen below.

Looks great! And very appropriately themed for the winter :)

Let us know if you run into any other snags, and sorry again for the misinformation.

I thank you for the support.
