TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

WP Theater is for WordPress site owners and developers who want to embed YouTube and Vimeo videos and feeds in posts or widgets. It solves the need for flexible, styled video display options—like previews, a wrapped theater embed, and listings from playlists, channels, albums, and groups—while letting developers customize output via filters and presets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Theater

Please check the Other Notes section for futher development information.

This is to avoid an extra request from YouTube. Since YouTube automatically does a Uploads playlist, it is much easier to use that instead. So for v3, user and playlist modes are identical except for the titles. To find your uploads playlist go to your user's channel and hover over the Uploads section (not menu button). A play button will appear that links to your uploads playlist. Odd, I know. A bit of a PITA, I know.

No, this plugin will only show publically available content. It will skip any videos that are not publicly embeddable, even password protected videos. If you need this feature now then you are looking for a plugin that requires OAuth2 credentials from that service.

Not right now. Single previews, e.g. [vimeo preview], are really only meant as a nice way to link to a video or for use with a popup.

Not for now, we suggest using playlists, albums or channels for this task. Benifits of both are the ability to add another user's video as well as adding and reordering them directly from YouTube or Vimeo. The autoscrolling is going behind my fixed header. How can I fix this This is a stretch of this plugins scope but there is a possible fix. We followed TwentyFourteens method of the body element having a "masthead-fixed" class and the main header must have either an id of "masthead" or class of "site-header".

Outside of the shortcode's parameters there are settings for you to disable the loaded assets as well setting cache expirations, if used. Use Default CSS - You can choose to disable the built in CSS file so that you can write your own. Use Default Genericons - You can choose to disable the Genericons fallback CSS file. You should only disable the Genericons if you've also disabled the CSS file as the characters/icons are currently hardcoded. WP Theater's genericons will not load if genericons are already enqueued. Use Default JS - You can choose to disable the built in JS file so that you can write your own. Cache Expiration - Feeds are cached using the Transient API and this will set the expiration. A value of 0 (zero) will bypass ALL caching.
