HelpVideos on your website

The videos don't show on my website

Check four things: the code is on the page, you pressed Publish, the widget has videos, and your site allows it.

Press Widget on the left and look at the top bar. It tells you what's going on.

"Code not copied yet" or "Not on a site yet"

The code isn't on your website yet, or nobody has opened that page since you pasted it. Paste it (see Where do I paste the code?), save your website, then open the page yourself once.

"Code copied · no videos to show"

The code is on your site, but the widget has no videos it can show. In the Videos step, press Add videos and add at least one approved video. Then press Publish.

"Not published yet"

Your changes are waiting. Press Publish. See Why don't my changes show on my website?

"Not seen for … days"

Nobody opened that page lately, or the code was taken off it (for example when the page was redesigned). Open your website and check the code is still there.

It says "Live on" my site, but I see nothing
  1. Reload the page. If your site uses a cache plugin, clear the cache.
  2. Check you're on the page where you pasted the code.
  3. Some website builders remove scripts. In Get code, use the version under Your builder removes scripts? instead.
  4. If your site has strict security settings (a "Content-Security-Policy"), ask whoever looks after your website to allow saycandid.com for scripts and frames.
Only some videos show

On Free a widget shows up to 6 videos. Videos marked Needs preparing or Archived don't show either. The Videos step tells you next to each video why it isn't shown.

Still nothing after all of that

Make a new, empty page on your website and paste only the code there. Open it.

  • The videos show on the new page: something on the first page blocks them, often a theme setting or a plugin. Paste the code in a different spot on that page, or use the version under Your builder removes scripts? in Get code.
  • They don't show on the new page either: your website blocks outside code. Send the message in How do I put videos on my website? to whoever looks after your site.
