<h3>DEVELOPER OPTIONS</h3>
The videos (aiovg_videos) belong to a WordPress Custom Post Type. Similarly, the categories (aiovg_categories) and tags (aiovg_tags) belong to the WordPress Custom Taxonomy. The plugin doesn’t use any custom tables and the settings are stored in the WP_Options table using the WordPress SETTINGS API. In short, the plugin has been developed completely using the WordPress CORE features. So, if you’re a WordPress developer, you can customize/extend the plugin as you like using the WordPress hooks system easily.
Similarly, the front-end gallery layouts added by our plugin can be customized by developing or overriding our existing templates. Please <a href="https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/child-themes-and-templates/" rel="nofollow ugc">check for a detailed documentation</a> on this.
