Embedding a Video in the Classic Editor
Settings Configuration
It’s pretty easy to set up this video player plugin. Once you have installed the plugin simply navigate to the Settings menu where you will be able to configure some options. Mostly you just to need check the “Enable jQuery” option. That will allow the plugin to make use of jQuery library.
Embedding Shortcodes for the Videos
Now it’s time to finally embed a video shortcode. To do this create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″]
Here, url is a shortcode parameter that you need to replace with the actual URL of the video file.
Video Autoplay
If you want a particular video to start playing when the page loads, you can set the “autoplay” option to “true”:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ autoplay=”true”]
Control Size
By default, the player takes up the full width of the content area. You can easily control the size by specifying a width for it:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ width=”640″]
The height will be automatically determined based on the ratio (please see the “Control Player Ratio section” for details).
Control Player Ratio
You can override the default aspect ratio by specifying a different one in the shortcode:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ ratio=”16:9″]
If the player does not support your specified aspect ratio it will load the default.
Video Loop
If you want a particular video to start playing again when it ends, you can set the “loop” option to “true”:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ loop=”true”]
Video Player Template
If you want to use a different video player template, you can specify it in the “template” parameter:
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ template=”mediaelement”]
By default, the mediaelement template only loads the “metadata” of a video when the page loads. You can set it to “auto” or “none” with the preload parameter in the shortcode.
[evp_embed_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ preload=”auto” template=”mediaelement”]
