I add “responsive media” video into the modal, but the video does not stop when I close it.
I used this js code;
> **[How to stop playing video when Bootstrap Modal is closed - Pinegrow Web Editor...](http://docsbeta.pinegrow.com/how-to-stop-playing-video-when-bootstrap-modal-is-closed/)**
>
> Use this piece of code to stop playing videos embedded in Bootstrap modals when the modal is closed.
Screenshot;
Could you please help me solve this problem.

This problem is a total enigma. I have found a solution that works for me but am having trouble inserting \< pre\> text in this document. Maybe someone can help me with that, in the meantime I have found a bad way to do it below.

> $(this).find('iframe').attr('src', '');
> $(this).find('iframe').attr('src', src);
> });
> ```

You must give your modal an ID, in this case mine was modalYT
The only problem is that the script relies on it being in an iframe and UNLOADS the video when the modal closes instead of pausing it, so if they reopen it they are back at the beginning.
sample at
[http://preferred-cell-systems.com/videos-modal.php](http://preferred-cell-systems.com/videos-modal.php)
notice the accordions do not stop playing, but the orange one at the bottom (the model) does.
Hope this helps

I haven’t tried using it in wordpress, Most of my sites are custom built but I will see if there is something making it not work with putting in it wordpress.
