DZS Video Block Cover for YouTube

A YouTube block for the WordPress Gutenberg editor with advanced customization, responsive design, and seamless integration.

LucP

<p>Featured video allows you to add a YouTube or Vimeo video to one of your posts and get to it using the shortcode [featured-video],<br />
next to that you can also embed it right in the code of your theme with the_post_video()!</p>
<p>the_post_video() returns your video standard with a 560×315 resolution. You can pass along the width and height, if<br />
you would like to change this, so: the_post_video(600,400) will return the video with a resolution of 600×400.</p>
<p>Next to the width and height you can pass along the window mode (only for youtube) which defaults to transparent.<br />
You can also edit the ‘allowfullscreen’ variable of the iframe. So a featured video with different width, height,<br />
windowmode and allowfullscreen would be:<br />
the_post_video(600,400,’window’,”);</p>
<p>There are a few other functions you can use in your theme (all parameters are optional):</p>
<pre><code>has_post_video(post_id) // same as has_post_thumbnail(), returns true or false.
get_the_post_video(post_id, width, height, windowmode, allowfullscreen) // will not echo the video. Has the option to pass a post_id 
the_post_video_thumbnail(post_id) // show the video thumbnail
get_the_post_video_thumbnail(post_id) // will not echo the video thumbnail directly.
the_post_video_image(post_id) // get the big version of the thumbnail
get_the_post_video_image(post_id) //will not echo the video image directly
</code></pre>
<p>This plugin currently only supports YouTube and Vimeo and works with the url’s of single video’s.</p>


Featured Video

Featured video is exactly the same as a featured image. It allows you to easily link a YouTube or Vimeo video to a post.
