Hello! I have been using UVP for years and love it! Thanks so for developing it. I want to know how to have the Youtube playlists collapsed upon load. Not the playlist window, just the playlists themselves. I want the user to be able to see what playlist options are there. If one playlist opens by default then the user can’t see the other playlists that are listed and might not know they are there. Thanks so much!
Hi.
I understand, I will think about this, see if I can come up with something…
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks so much, Tibi! I look forward to hearing back from you on this.
I am really busy finishing my own website to sell my work, so this will take some time.
Thank you for understanding.
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks, Tibi. No worries. Would it be a CSS thing that could do it, you think, or is it a deeper code adjustment you would need to make? If CSS, I might be able to figure it out since you’re super busy at the moment…
Is not just about CSS, some code and some brain neurons need to be fired to make this work without breaking the other player functionality.
Tibi – FWD.
Haha, gotcha. Well, no big deal – just whenever you have some spare time to fire some brain neurons, it would be much appreciated!
I will address this asap!
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks so much, Tibi!
Hey again, Tibi! I emailed you with some screenshots, but my web host flagged Ultimate Video plugin as being vulnerable or unsafe just a couple of days ago. Please check your email and let me know what you think the issue may be. Thanks, Tibi!
That issue was fixed a while back…
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks, Tibi! I will go and try and download the latest version and see if that does it. I appreciate your prompt responses as always! Hope the website is coming along well!
Welcome.
Tibi – FWD.
Tibi, sorry to be a bother! It looks like I have version 8.4, and I’m trying to update to the latest version, but after downloading the ZIP installer in My Downloads in Envato, it keeps saying installation failed on Wordpress. Any ideas? Is there a different place where I can download the latest version that has this security issue fixed?
Unzip the main zip file and inside that you will find the installable WordPress file.
Tibi – FWD.
Nevermind! Figured it out. It had been so long that I forgot that I had to get the compressed folder within the compressed folder where the plugin installer actually was. Thanks, Tibi!!!
Appreciate it!
Tibi, after updating to version 10, my hPanel at my web host is still flagging UVP as a security threat. As a second opinion, I just installed Wordfence and did a scan, and same thing. It’s flagged as a high-risk security issue. What do you think?
The file with the risk was completely removed, maybe it has some sort of cache, please send me an email at tibi_diablo@yahoo.com and give me more details…
Tibi – FWD.
I just emailed you the full Wordfence breakdown, but it’s saying Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Download, Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (‘Path Traversal’) and that no known patch is available up to and including version 10.
Yeah, I find it weird too that it keeps flagging. I just emailed you the breakdown! Feel free to email me back there. I will look into the cache now. Thanks for the good communication on this!
Fully cleared all site cache and security flag persists unfortunately. It is listed as “critical.”
OK.
I will look into this tomorrow not sure what exactly is causing this, but I am sure it’s not serious…
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks, Tibi! Did you get my email okay? Feel free to email me back there.
Yes got it.

Hello, I would like to suggest two corrections: 1. Keep the address bar intact, without manipulation when opening the player, the URL looks bad, especially if the video is on the home page. Avoid #/?playlistId=0&videoId=0 2. When pausing the video using the player button, it does not return to the initial hidden state, only if you press the larger video button, which is annoying. Best regards
Hi.
1. That is optional is called deeplinkig it creates unique URL’s for the videos, ti can be disabled in your preset.
2. I will look into it asap.
Tibi – FWD.
Yes! =)
Hi, Could you please provide the documentation or instructions on how to make the video player work with videos hosted on Dropbox? According to the plugin description, Dropbox is listed as one of the supported external sources, but I couldn’t find any guidance on how to set it up.
Thanks in advance!
Hi.
You can find it in the documentation…
Dropbox Copy the drop box video or audio link, then replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com.
Thus the URL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcd/file.mp4?dl=0&type=.mp3 will become: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/acbd/file.mp4?dl=0&type=.mp3 . If you are using mp4 files change the type to .mp4 like this &type=.mp4 .
It is possible that this might have changed if it does not work jut ask CHatGPT it is really good at this kind of things.
Tibi – FWD.
Thank you, I’ll try. Please, where can I find the documentation?
In the documentation just search for Dropbox
Tibi – FWD.
Where can I read the documentation? Could you send me the link? I couldn’t find it anywhere, thanks.
The documentation is inside the download files that you got from CodeCanyon, there is no online version for this.
Tibi – FWD.
Modify documentation, new link format.
Paste the link somewhere you can edit it (another browser tab works fine). You should have a link that looks something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/svmal51kp1qbf0rhnhhq6/Wallpaper.jpeg?rlkey=ubr8jiwyu90w1gzcfowxvx8a3&dl=0.
Replace dl=0 with dl=1 in the query parameters of the URL. For example, https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/svmal51kp1qbf0rhnhhq6/Wallpaper.jpeg?rlkey=ubr8jiwyu90w1gzcfowxvx8a3&dl=1.
Share the link as you normally would
Thank you for the update!

Subject: Critical Security Vulnerability in “Ultimate Video Player” Plugin
Dear [Developer’s FWDesign – Support Team
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to inform you about a serious security vulnerability discovered in the “Ultimate Video Player – WordPress & WooCommerce Plugin” version 10.0. This vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access and read sensitive files on the server, which poses a significant security risk to any website using the plugin.
Details of the issue: - Type: Access Violation Vulnerability - Impact: Unauthorized access to server files, including potentially sensitive configuration files. - Current Version: 10.0 - Affected Platform: WordPress (with WooCommerce integration)
Due to the severity of this issue, security experts recommend immediately disabling and removing the plugin until a patched and secure version is released.
Could you please confirm: 1. If you are aware of this issue? 2. Whether a fix is in progress or already available? 3. An estimated timeline for a patched release?
This plugin is an important part of my website, and I would appreciate any update or guidance you can provide on how to proceed safely.
Given the critical nature of this vulnerability, I kindly urge you to address the issue as soon as possible and release a secure update without delay.
Thank you for your attention and support. Best regards,
HI.
This issue was solved a while back. The file that was causing this was completely removed from the plugin.
Tibi – FWD.
Hi Tibi,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I’ve checked the plugin files on my website, and the vulnerable file downloader.php still exists in the following path:
/wp-content/plugins/fwduvp/content/downloader.php
Security plugins like Wordfence are still flagging this plugin as vulnerable due to the presence of this file.
Can you please confirm whether I should delete this file manually, or should I wait for an official plugin update that removes it?
Looking forward to your guidance on how to proceed.
That file was removed from the player content.
Tibi – FWD.
Hi, just a heads up that there’s a problem (not sure how long its been like that, just been made aware today). First, when there are more than one instances in a page, iphone gives a popup with an error saying “fwduvplayer instance name fwduvplayer0 is already defined” (happens on both Safari and Chrome on Iphone 16). Also, the playlist manager is broken on the backend of wordpress, it gives the all the playlist in a weird way on one page, not grouped or anything. If you attempt to edit a playlist (just to enter to see the details is enough) it deletes the playlists completely to the point we had to restore a backup.
Hi,
just got a warning from patchstack.com, that the Ultimate Video Player has a severe vulnerability. Are you working on a fix?
https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fwduvp/vulnerability/wordpress-ultimate-video-player-plugin-10-0-unauthenticated-arbitrary-file-download-vulnerability?_a_id=110Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Joska
Hi.
That was fixed a long time ago, that feature was completely removed.
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Very interesting. How do they come to this assessment? The message came from WP Toolkit and Wordfence – they have listed that vulnerability, too:
https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/fwduvp/ultimate-video-player-100-unauthenticated-arbitrary-file-downloadStrange.
Believe me, nobody will even think of taking that so-called ‘vulnerability’, in my book is not but whatever…. I just removed the feature completely..

Hello, on a youtibe playslist how change cover? i tried to change it on youtube but never change..
Hi.
The posters are taken automatically from Youtube, I am not sure how they are served…
Tibi – FWD.
Trying to evaluate this plugin to see if it fits what we need. Upon loading a page, we are looking to have a single video be selected randomly (from a list of Vimeo URLs in the backend) and play on a page. Is it possible to set this up using this plugin? Basically just loading a randomly selected video from a list of videos in a video player on a page.
HI.
Yes it is possible and much more.
Tibi – FWD.
Pregunta antes de comprar: mis videos están en un folder de carpeta VPS ¿puedo usar su reproductor de esta manera?
Hi.
Yes it wil work
Tibi – FWD.
Yes, before writing to you I obviously reviewed the documentation and followed the Google Drive tutorial step by step, I even watched your YouTube video and I did use the Google Drive API, but it doesn’t work in the WordPress plugin, in fact I sent you an email with my google drive api and I never got a response from you
YES, I USED THE GOOGLE DRIVE API, YES, I USED THE GOOGLE DRIVE API!!
There is a video here explaining in detail how to do it, have you seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK3YucN2PYc and here is a live example with Google Drive https://webdesign-flash.ro/p/uvp/google-drive.html
Tibi – FWD.
but the video explains with the javascript script at no point does the video explain how to configure it with the wordpress plugin
It is the exact same thing, you need that URL and add it as the video source.
Tibi – FWD.
That’s what I do, I add the exact url in video source but it doesn’t work
Please check your console to see if there are any errors and what the error is.
leave a link here if you can.
TIbi – FWD.
I sent you the link to your email (tibi_diablo@yahoo.com) with all the explanation and screenshots from 2 days ago, please check
Please resend the email I can’t find it.
Tibi – FWD.
ok, I resend the email
Is the video public are you sure your API key is correct?
Tibi – FWD.
Yes, the api key is correct because when I put the full url in the browser the video starts downloading
Something is not right, can you try to play that in a normal video element, something like <video src=”gs-here”></video>, I belive it is some sort of security or quota issue but I can’t tell.
Tibi – FWD.
Hello, I bought the plugin to use it with Google Drive, I am using it in WordPress, my question is ¿where should I put the url of the Google Drive video?
I put the url in the section called “Video source” within the “Playlist manager” section,
The problem is that when I put the shortcode in my wordpress entry the video sends an error message that says “source not found”
hi.
There are instructions in the documentation about how to use Google Drive, please read it.
Tibi – FWD.
Do Google Drive videos need API configuration?
You need an API key, it is impossible to use Google Drive without an API key, it used to work in the past but not anymore…
Does it also encrypt Google Drive videos?
yes.
Tibi – FWD.
Great support, thank you
Hello,
I understand that the player supports self-host video.
Does self-hosted video require any special configuration on the server? Do I need special libraries for transcoding (example ffmeg)? Are there any options that might be unavailable, such as changing the resolution (720p, 1080p, 320p)?
Hi.
Yes it dose and also a ot of other formats local or external, you don’t need anything special and you can set any resolution that you want as many as you want.

Hello,
Some very important questions before my purchase decision:
1) Visitors should not see Vimeo link and they should not redirect on Vimeo page when they are watching Vimeo videos on my page. 2) Video should have controls, play, stop, fullscreen, mute… 3) when I will paste Vimeo link for thumbnail it should come default Vimeo video thumbnail. manually I should have an option to change this thumbnail.
So if it has this option I will buy this plugin happily,
Thanks
Hi.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Only if you are using a Vimeo album or showcase a simple URL will not fetch the thumbnail.
Tibi – FWD.
Thanks for that much quick answer. can u give me admin login for 5 minute ? so I will check everything myself.
Thanks
I am sorry but I don’t have a demo version.
TIbi – FWD.
Hello,
Some very important questions before my purchase decision:
1. Live streaming possible from YT/Facebook and others through your player ?
2. I think, advertising function with only applicable for self hosted content, not for 3rd party embedded content from Vimeo, YT, Facebook and others right ? So the monetization model can’t be achieved if fetching content from other sources ?
3. With Shoutcast/Icecast support, I can easily set up audio podcast with your player embedded on my website ?
4. I already have a community website with Buddypress, Wordpress and other plugins which is also working as WebView App, will your player support my environment with normal shared hosting server in the backend ?
5. Annotations function will work with YT, Vimeo content or self hosted only ?
6. I see Woocommerce support, so any Woocommerce plugin will also work ? Possible to monetize icecast/shoutcast based audio streaming or any live streaming (either self hosted or from F3rd Party like YT/Facebook) with your player ? Just trying to balance free media display and monetization model for my platform built with your product.
Please let me know in detail, I will decide accordingly.
Thanks
Hi.
1. Only Youtube.
2. Ads support any source including YouTube, Vimeo, etc…
3. Yes.
4. As long as it is WordPress it will work.
5. Will only work self hosted videos.
6. For WooCOmmerce the plugin can be displayed to replace the default thumbnail/gallery , it dose nto have any other WooCommerce feature.
TIbi – FWD.
Hello,
For point 2, Advertising Component :
1.With your product if I have a free google ID, I can display whatever video from YT and also include Google Ads so in my website I copy other people’s YT content and monetize on my website, is it possible or I am getting it wrong ?
2. Didn’t understand…the thumbnail gallery will display products fetched from Woocommerce is it, so user can click on the thumbnail and will be redirected to Woocommerce page within the app ?
Just getting maximum clarity to buy your script and build my platform.
Thanks
1. Default Google ads are not displayers.
2. The player will just replace the gallery/default thumbnail that’s what it dose nothing else.
TIbi – FWD.
Hello,
I understand that in the same page I can use short code and put custom video player with playlist in one section and icecast live stream in aother section, correct ?
User can choose as they like on my platform landing page.
Please confirm from your end.
Yes.
Tibi – FWD.
Hello,
By mistake during purchase I selected the Javascript version instead of Wordpress Plugin and now during implementation I just discovered this error, I have already sent email to support and also raising this issue to prove that I genuinely made a mistake !
I need to replace the item, please help me resolve. Thanks
Hi,
before I renew support: Is it no longer possible to play Vimeo videos with your player? I’ve been using your player for a few years now, but lately Vimeo videos have been causing issues. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.
I am using the latest versions of your plugin and Wordpress.
Warmly,
Hi.
What do you mean sometimes it works sometimes it dose not, please check the console for errors, if you can send me a screen recording at tibi_diablo@yahoo.com .
Tibi – FWD.
..console? Where can I find it? I mean that sometimes I get a white screen. Sometimes the videos don’t seem to load properly, but a few minutes later they do, and then again they don’t, etc.
You can open the browser console by pressing F12, please send me a link with your page at tibi_diablo@yahoo.com.
Tibi – FWD.
..sent an email.
Warmly,
hello interesting, 2 presales questions please : 1) my users can upload a self hosted video from a custom post type in frond end (maybe via a shortcodeà 2) can my users have a playlist of severals videos ? thank you
Hi.
The videos are added in the playlist backend, and admin rights are required.
You can add as many videos as you want in the playlist, but only as admin.
I have a different player that can have the video source in the shortcode but it does not have playlists https://webdesign-flash.ro/p/evp/
Hi, I bought your plugin from Envato: Ultimate Video Player WordPress & WooCommerce Plugin
But the playlist is not loading in the WP dashboard; It gives: playlist_manager.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end
If needed I can provide admin access so you can have a look.
I also wrote your e-mail: tibi_diablo@yahoo.com
Thank you, Alexander
I replyed to your email.
Tibi – FWD.
