[Resolved] WPSP with videos

Hi there,

Are you wanting to replace your featured images with videos?

Let me know 🙂

How would you define the video? Using a custom field.

I can’t find any plugins for it, so it’s likely necessary to un-hook the current image and hook in the video (depending on where it’s coming from).

So first you’ll want to disable the images in your list settings.

Then add this PHP:

add_action( 'wpsp_before_header', function() {
    $video = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'your_field_name', true );

    if ( $video ) {
        echo $video;
    }
} );

This assumes that the custom field has the full video HTML.

Hi there,

Does your custom field include the full HTML for the video?

What if you use a regular text/textarea field and include the full <iframe> element for the video?

You would need to do this: https://css-tricks.com/NetMag/FluidWidthVideo/Article-FluidWidthVideo.php

Look for the <iframe> Video (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) section.

No problem 🙂
