Video Autoplay in Thumbnail Grid Frontpage does not work
-
Hi there,
i just recently switched to the "Thumbnail Grid" option on the front page to have the possibility to show fewer columns on tablet/smaller desktop screen, but now my video thumbnails won't autoplay in anymore. I've recognized the problem in Chrome on Mac and Windows - Firefox seems to work.
i already tried something like ->
window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){ jQuery('video').each(function(){ this.play(); });but it did'nt make a difference.
Thank you in advance!

Your videos autoplay for me.
Are you sure you have this setting right?

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.

- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
