A plugin for managing and displaying videos on your website. Creates a “Videos” Custom post type allowing you to integrate youtube videos with WordPress to output custom titles, descriptions and image thumbnails to display videos on your website. Alternatively you can also output any youtube video directly via shortcodes, optimised for responsive devices with a variety of output options to best suit your page.
Includes a number of embed methods:
<ul>
<li>Embed: These can be within the content, </li>
<li>Modal: as a modal,</li>
<li>Gallery: multiple videos in a gallery</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcode examples</h4>
Youtube video embed with a custom thumbnail and a title using a video custom post:
<pre><code>[video id="21" title="show" thumbnail="show"][/video]
</code></pre>
Youtube video brought in by youtube_id displayed using a modal:
<pre><code>[video youtube_id="SW3o7rSn-TY" type="modal"][/video]
</code></pre>
Video gallery using the thumbnail option:
<pre><code>[video id="21, 22, 23" type="gallery" gallery_options="thumbnails"][/video]
</code></pre>
Video embed using a non-youtube video:
<pre><code>[video iframe_url="https://player.vimeo.com/video/197202895"][/video]
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcode options</h4>
One of these options must be set:
Output a video from a custom post
<pre><code>id='[video id]' (default: blank)
</code></pre>
If the video has been added as a video custom post type, add the post id of the video to add it here. The ID can be found in the url of the post in WordPress. If you set the <code>type</code> to gallery then you can add multiple comma separated ids.
Output a video from youtube
<pre><code>youtube_id="[youtube-video-id]" (default: blank)
</code></pre>
This is the id of the youtube video you want to link to. This is the 11 digit code at the end of a youtube video’s url. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= SW3o7rSn-TY
Output a video from another location
<pre><code>iframe_url="[non-youtube-url]" (default:blank)
</code></pre>
If the video isn’t a youtube video then a the url gets added into a responsive iframe.
These options may also be set:
Dispay type
<pre><code>type="embed/modal/gallery" (default: "embed")
</code></pre>
Changes how the video is output on the site:
<ul>
<li>“embed” outputs the video inline with the content and allows it to respond as the screen size changes.</li>
<li>“modal” outputs the video thumbnail inline with the content. Clicking the thumbnail opens up a modal window ontop of the page where the video plays. Options for the modal can be set witht the <code>modal_options</code> attribute. This option doesn’t work with videos brought in using the <code>iframe_url</code> attribute.</li>
<li>“gallery” outputs the videos in a gallery. One of the videos appears like the embed option. The options for the gallery can be set using the <code>gallery_options</code> attribute. This option doesn’t work with videos brought in using the <code>iframe_url</code> attribute.</li>
</ul>
Show or hide the title
<pre><code>title="show/hide" (default: "show")
</code></pre>
Whether to show or hide the video’s title (only works with videos added as a custom post).
Add custom styles to the title
<pre><code>title_style="[css-class]" (default: blank)
</code></pre>
css class that gets added to the title to apply multiple custom styles. Can be used for styling the title. “Overlaid” is built in, which makes the title absolutely positioned in the bottom left hand corner of the video.
Show or hide the thumbnail
<pre><code>thumbnail="show/hide" (default: "show")
</code></pre>
Shows or hides the custom thumbnail. If the video is brought in using the <code>youtube_id</code> attribute, or the video post has no featured image, then the youtube default image will be used. No thumbnail image will be shown when using the <code>iframe_url</code> attribute.
Display options for Modals
<pre><code>modal_options="[options]" (default: empty)
</code></pre>
Only used when the type is set to modal. Adds buttons types that close the modal. Multiple options can be selected, add them as a comma separated list.
<ul>
<li>“cross” : adds a cross in the top right of the modal.</li>
<li>“button” : adds a button beneath the modal to close it.</li>
</ul>
Clicking the background will always close the modal.
Display options for Galleries
<pre><code>gallery_options="[options]" (default: empty) 
</code></pre>
Only used when the type is set to gallery. Adds different carousel control options. Multiple options can be selected, add them as a comma separated list.
<ul>
<li>“arrows” : adds arrows that sit on top of the video.</li>
<li>“thumbnails” : adds a row of thumbnail images below that can be used to select a different video.</li>
<li>“indicators” : indicator buttons underneath the video.</li>

Featured Videos work like Featured Images, just smoother: Paste a video URL into the designated new box on the post edit screen and the video will be displayed in place of a post image.
There are three ways to get the videos onto your page:
<ol>
<li>Automagically! If your theme makes use of WordPress’ native <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails" rel="nofollow ugc">featured image functionality</a> you are set: Automatic insertion, lazy loading or lightbox overlays, its your choice. If this does not work you can either</li>
<li>insert the <code>[featured-video-plus]</code>–Shortcode in your posts or</li>
<li>manually make use of the PHP-functions in your theme’s source files.</li>
</ol>
For more details, check the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/installation/" rel="ugc">installation</a> page.
<blockquote>
Theme compatibility 
 Sadly many themes do not follow the WordPress standards and implement their own fancy functions for displaying featured images – those very likely break this plugin. Check out the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a>. Another common problem are sliders: Videos, in general, do not like sliders at all.
</blockquote>
See the plugin in action on <a href="http://yrnxt.com/wordpress/featured-video-plus/" rel="nofollow ugc">yrnxt.com</a>. There is a button in the sidebar to switch between the different featured video display modes: <a href="http://yrnxt.com/wordpress/featured-video-plus/?setfvpmode=replace" rel="nofollow ugc">Automatic</a>, <a href="http://yrnxt.com/wordpress/featured-video-plus/?setfvpmode=dynamic" rel="nofollow ugc">lazy</a> and <a href="http://yrnxt.com/wordpress/featured-video-plus/?setfvpmode=overlay" rel="nofollow ugc">overlay</a>.
Besides Local Videos you can use videos from a whole lot of external providers like YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion. SoundCloud and Spotify (including playlists) are supported as well. Check the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Okay.2C_So_What_Sites_Can_I_Embed_From.3F" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a> for a complete list. If some provider is not listed you can always just use an embed code or whatever HTML you like.
After installing the plugin check your site’s Media Settings (<code>Settings -> Media</code> in the administration interface): The plugin adds quite some little helper options there. Change to lazy or overlay mode, tweak video sizing, individualize the look of the most prominent providers’ video players and turn on autoplay or video looping. By default videos try to dynamically fit their parent containers width and adjust their size responsively.
<blockquote>
Support 
 I do read all support questions in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/featured-video-plus" rel="ugc">forums</a> but cannot reply to all of them. The plugin is an unpaid side project and full support would require more time than I can invest for free for over 20k active installs. If you really need help, consider <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=AD8UKMQW2DMM6" rel="nofollow ugc">buying me a cookie</a> – best way to attract my attention and to support future enhancements.
