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
