Featured Video Plus WordPress Plugin
A picture is worth a thousand words. How many words is a video worth?
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:
- Automagically! If your theme makes use of WordPress' native featured image functionality you are set: Automatic insertion, lazy loading or lightbox overlays, its your choice. If this does not work you can either
- insert the
[featured-video-plus]-Shortcode in your posts or - manually make use of the PHP-functions in your theme's source files.
