Chad - download to your pc and unzip the file. The resulting folder has two subfolders. "Disc Contents" and "MVPX62018 Patch". Ignore my folder typo as it actually contains the last MVPX5 (not X6) patch - MVPX51033_MoviePlusX5_7.0.2.018-Patch-Setup.exe.
Open the Disc Contents folder and scroll down to "setup.exe". Double clicking on that should result in MVPX6 being installed. If not then hopefully Alfred can help out with advice on what you need to do.
After installing apply the patch and import your codec unlock codes by going in MVPX6 to where you exported them but this time click the Import button.
Thank you! Will you be sending the PM through this forum somehow or directly to my email?
Thank you ericlnz!!! This worked as you instructed and I'm very grateful to you for this. I had CD's for Page/Web Plus and others from Serif, but I just can't figure out were my CD for MP is.

ericlnz wrote:Chad - I've just realised MVPX5 uses codec unlocking so urgently export your unlock codes from your old laptop while you can then store the small file somewhere safe. You will need it to import the codes to a new installation. Without the codes, which are linked to your license key, any new installation is useless. Serif shut down the unlock codes server a while back.
Go to Tools/Options/Advanced and click on "Manage Unlock Codes". There click on Export. I'm looking at X6 but I'm pretty sure X5 was the same.
Sorry everyone, I have been traveling and I was not notified of all your comments to my post I must have missed selecting the subscribe button, so thank you for all your help.
Ericlnz, I followed your instructions to export. Will I be able to continue using MP on my laptop and install on my new PC? How do I install on the new PC?
I can't remember if I downloaded the software or if Serif sent by mail, but I can't find the hard copy or digital version for some reason. It's still installed/working on my old laptop, I was hoping to install it on my new PC for faster processing and using 4K.
I greatly appreciate anyone helping me with this.

Also, no other changes were made to the webpages, so other objects are interfering with the navbar.
The https is a link and should not affect anything on the webplus site. After you mage the upload without the video did you not do another upload to see if the problem repeats?
Another possible solution may be the following which may or may not work:
Use the youtube widget without converting to html
Copy the following code
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("iframe").each(function() {
var $frame = $(this)
$frame.attr('src', $frame.attr('src').replace('http:', 'https:'))
});
});
</script>
On the page with the widget do Insert > HTML Fragment > Click on the page >Click "Paste to head" > Check the box "Include jquery script" > OK
As you can see in the code it replaces http in the iframe with https. Do an upload and see if it works.

Not Working Again. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster. OK, latest update. I finally paid the money to implement SSL to all my websites and now this widget option is no longer working. The earlier suggested idea to convert the widget to html fragment still works to play the YouTube video, but the navbar and hyperlinks on the same page still don't work.
My other websites are still working fine thankfully, it is just this one site giving me a nightmare.

The most common reason for a navbar or a hyperlink not working is that it’s covered by a transparent object such as an empty text frame.
NAV BAR and hyperlinks stopped working on each page with a YouTube video that I added the "s" to the html. I removed a video from the homepage and the did a full upload and the NAV BAR started working again, so this issue seems to be related to me adding the "s" to the YouTube html. This website does not have SSL certificate, I wonder if this is part of the issue.
Also, no other changes were made to the webpages, so other objects are interfering with the navbar.
New problem. I had several YouTube vids throughout the site, added the "s" and all videos playing fine after doing a full upload of entire site. The new problem, for whatever reason the NAV BAR and most hyperlinks on the Home Page no longer work, but the NAV BAR works on other webpages. I tried doing a reupload of entire site, then just home page, then changed things on home page to do upload, and still not working.
Alfred wrote:Chad wrote:Is there a way to convert the HTML fragment back to the YouTube widget to see the image and change widget customization?
No, it’s strictly one way, but if you put a copy of the widget on the pasteboard you can go back to it at any time.
Chad wrote:Also, is there a way to set the website default for all additional YouTube widgets to include the "s" in the html?
Not as far as I’m aware.
Thanks Alfred, I will keep copies.
Joe wrote:How are you loading the link to the video into your site? If you are using the webplus youtube widgit it may be because the html in the code link is http instead of https. This can be changed by right click the video > Convert to > HTML fragment. Double click the fragment to open it and in line beginning
place an s after http to give

Thank you Joe! This seems to have fixed the issue.
Is there a way to convert the HTML fragment back to the YouTube widget to see the image and change widget customization? Also, is there a way to set the website default for all additional YouTube widgets to include the "s" in the html?
I don't understand, someone will notify me a YouTube video is no longer on the website. The only thing I have figured out is to do a Full Upload of the entire site, and even then they will randomly start disappearing.
It is not showing up in Crome, but I can see the YouTube Video in Firefox, Brave, and MS Edge. I try hard refreshing Crome, but still no good. If I use incogneto with Crome, it still doesn't show the video.
There has been times when someone told me they use MAC, but I don't recall which browser they used when they couldn't see the video.
Is anyone else having this issue? What is causing it and how can it be fixed?

I also use WordPress and for that there is a free plug-in - Really Simple SSL.
How long have you used one.com? Do you think the SSL will fix my problem?
It seems that in the past year, visitors are being warned by their computer's internet security that my WebPlus websites are not safe and ask them if they would like to proceed or not.
I'm not sure why this is, it seems it is a new internet standard that maybe all websites must have SSL or some kind of website security.
My websites don't need security, they don't have confidential data features or other things that would require security.
Can anyone educate me or direct me to learn more about this issue? Also, if I do need to implement SSL, what is the cheapest and easiest way to do this?
