To utilize it: simply take the first couple paragraphs and copy them into the excerpt box on your post edit screen. Depending on how your theme is built, you might not have to do anything … Read more
Couple of assumptions before getting to solution. First, you have all embedded codes as iframe (almost all video sites export as iframe now) not as shortcode or object tag. Secondly, you want the video box not the video url which will be offcourse different for every video website. Put following code in functions.php function the_post_video($post_id=NULL) … Read more
If you don’t know what the content is, use a regular expression to test if there is an URL. Sample code: $content = get_the_content(); $pattern = ‘~([^”\’])?(https?://.*\.(flv|aac|mp4|mov|m4a|f4a|ogg|oga|mp3))([^”\’\?])?~i’; if ( preg_match( $pattern, $content, $matches ) ) { $parsedUrl = parse_url( $matches[ 0 ] ); // create the vidoe markup } else { // echo $content or … Read more

Let me know if you need any help setting that up. OR: You could add a separete textarea to accept just comma separated or line-break … Read more
Your entry.php template is completely wrong. This should be your loop so to speak. Yet this is more like a page template, that also calls for entry.php. This template should include the call to your the_content(), media files, comments if applicable, and the title, also all other things you might want to include in your … Read more
One idea for the shortcode version, would be to add the custom class via the the native shortcode: then you could add it to your custom wrapper with: add_filter( ’embed_oembed_html’, function ( $html, $url, $attr, $post_ID) { return sprintf( ‘<figure class=”video-container %s”>%s</figure>’, isset( $attr[‘class’] ) ? esc_attr( $attr[‘class’] ) : ”, $html ); }, 10, … Read more
This might help. On the YouTube video page, choose Share, then choose Embed, then choose Show More. Remove checks in boxes for “Show Player controls” and “Show Video Title and Player Actions.” Choose largest given width size or custom size that is equal to or slightly greater than your div container width. Copy the code. … Read more
I made a function that return the iframe for the first video inside the post with id $post_id: function get_first_video_embed($post_id) { $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, get_post_field(‘post_content’, $post_id)); $iframes = get_media_embedded_in_content( $content, ‘iframe’ ); return $video_post_iframe = $iframes[0]; }
