Ookla Speedtest.net mini – installation issue

    I would like to add the speedtest.net mini to my website. When I create a page and add the code from the php file, it looks good in the preview, but when I publish the page and navigate to it from the site, it never works. I get a black screen with ‘update your client’ on the screen.

    Another issue I am having is my webpage and slug is set to Speedtest, but that is also the name of the folder containing the speedtest files, so when people click on it, it shows them the directory on my webserver instead of loading the page. So then I made index.html from the php file included with the speedtest and put it in the speedtest folder. From there, I load the index.html directly instead of navigating using the page I created. I get the same result as before, blank screen with the words ‘update your client’.

    I searched heavily on Google and WordPress forums with no luck. There was only 1 post on the WP forums that was relevant, but still no solution. Anyone have any ideas or a solution to get this up and running?

    I have since tried installing a few different plugins that allow php to be run on a page or anywhere on the site. I did this thinking that the code from the php file is not being translated properly when using the create a page option, or when loading a file directly using a web url. The results were still the same. On other CMS’s, I was able to create a blank page, post the code in, publish and everything showed up as expected. This is not happening with WordPress. I highly prefer to stay with WP and would like to get this issue solved asap.

    I fixed my issue by altering the code inside the provided php webpage. The reason why I did not do this before is that it was marked as do not alter. However, I had no other option that I could find, and when I was able to specify where exactly the files were located, everything works fine. The only problem now is that there is a huge space above and under the actual speedtest app itself. I played around with the margins in the theme’s css, but it did not make much of a difference, so now I am stuck on that.
