FV Wordpress Flowplayer did the trick with a slight fix.

But the ones I have tried for videos do not. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-not-working-in-html-section-possible-other-solution#post-54296 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:04:31 +0000 Rob Harrell 54296@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you running the latest version of GF and WP? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-not-working-in-html-section-possible-other-solution#post-54293 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:52:38 +0000 jleavitt 54293@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have now tried several pluggins that embed video via shortcode, and none of them seem to work. Does gravity forms really support shortcodes in the inline HTML or was I wrong? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-not-working-in-html-section-possible-other-solution#post-54184 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:52:02 +0000 jleavitt 54184@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So what I am trying to create is a 4 page test. Each section of the test is based on a video. So I want the video to be displayed at the top of the page with the approripate section of the test (form) below it. At the bottom of the page I want their to be a next button that will take the to page 2 which will have the same layout, video at the top and form below. </p> <p>What I was hoping to do what use the inline HTML option to embed the videos on the page, and then the page break function to continue the test to the next page. The problem is I can not ge the video to display. Each video is pretty long and self-hosted, so I am using .flv videos, and shortcode from a pluggin to display them, as I read that the inline HTML accepts shortcodes. However the shortcode is not being recognized and just displays as text. If I use the same shortcode in a post or page it works fine. I suppose I could try varios video formats with various pluggins and shortcodes, but I was hoping I could get a solution here.</p> <p>You can view and example of the shortcode working on page but not in the form here: <a href="http://www.premierseniorhomecare.com/tets" rel="nofollow">http://www.premierseniorhomecare.com/tets</a></p> <p>So what do you suggest I do?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
