My Opera 29.0 can't display flashes on webpages. This problem occurred after my Opera updated from 28.0 to 29.0 automatically, if I remember rightly. So I downloaded Flash Player from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, and installed it. Then I restarted Opera, but it didn't work.

What should I do?

What happens when you try to see a content in flash?

Are you using the ppapi version?

Thanks. When I visit http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTQ4MTAzMjQ0.html, for example, it looks like this http://postimg.org/image/fxy4jbplt/a96d2dfe/

I don't know if what I am using is ppapi version. What I downloaded from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ was flashplayer17pp_da_install.exe. In Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs, I found 3 programs about Flash have been installed:
1 Adobe Flash Player 17 ActiveX
2 Adobe Flash Player 17 NPAPI
3 Adobe Flash Player 18 PPAPI

Oops... Why did the underscores in what I typed disappear automatically after I posted?

Underscores are a reserved character in Markdown

You can post it as a code segment by putting it on a new line and preceding it by 4 spaces, as in:

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTQ4MTAzMjQ0.html

... however, links probably won't highlight in code segments. If you want, you can put some descriptive text in brackets followed by the link in parentheses, as in

this site

Of course, you could use backslashes to escape the underlines, but then it won't link properly:

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTQ4MTAzMjQ0.html

The best approach - though probably to hard for newbies - would be to combine the last two; use the actual link with escaped underlines as the "descriptive text" in brackets, followed by the link (not escaped) in parentheses:

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTQ4MTAzMjQ0.html

Edit: how about that, they all generate correct links! O.O

Use bacticks (``) to display your input as is wherever you want inline: "Hello, Mr one_click!".

Try visiting the site in a Private Window. Also check and make sure Opera Turbo is disabled.

You can post links between <> to avoid this.

Hmm, i remember have seen this issue a few times. What are your settings for plugins in Settings > Websites > plugins?

I don't know if what I am using is ppapi version.

Check by going to opera:plugins and clicking on "show details".

Thank you, leocg.

In Settings > Websites > plugins, the selected option is "Run all plug-in content (recommended)"

Under the entry "Adobe Flash Player (2)" in Opera > Developer > Plug-ins is("Disable" is a button, which means it is already enabled):

If you disable the npapi flash, does it make any difference?

Yes, it does. I got a message saying "You haven't installed Flash Player. Click here to install it." (The original message was Chinese. I've translated it.) I'll click the "Here" link to install it. Thanks.

Java needs separate installs for 32 and 64-bit programs. So, if you installed the 64-bit version you will also need to install the 32-bit versions. Give that a shot.

Question: I have both Opera 12 and 29 on Kubuntu 15.04 (x86_64; KDE). Flash works on Opera 12. But not on my new install of Opera 29 with the message "Adobe Flash Player is missing."
I already have Restricted extras and Adobe Flash plug in installed in the Software centre. What else can I do? Thanks.

@ianp5a You need the PPAPI version for the new Opera. (pepperflashplugin-nonfree)

Oops I posted in the wrong area.

Thanks I found pepperflashplugin-nonfree in the software manager, installed it and it all works OK.
