Display Embedded Videos by D.Biota

Description

You can display a gallery with one, some or all the Youtube and Vimeo videos embedded within your site. They can be shown chronologically (most recent videos posted) or in a daily random basis, which is a powerful tool to get your visitors engaged (each day they visit the video list, it will show a different selection of random videos from your site).

FAQ

What does this plugin do?

It allows you to show your embedded Youtube and Vimeo videos somewhere in your site (widgets or content) by using shortcodes

How do I publish a video collection?

Just by putting a shortcode wherever you want: in a post, in a page or in a widget.

Will it detect and show all videos posted?

Once you activate the plugin, it will detect automatically all new videos posted. To detect videos posted previous the plugin activation, you have a button in the plugin settings. Once detected, the process won’t be needed to run again ever.

How does the daily_random mode work?

It will show random videos from your site, changing each day. It can make interesting for your users visiting your site daily.

Are the videos displayed responsive?

Yes.

Can I add my own CSS to customize the video titles?

This plugin will load devbdb.css from your theme\’s directory if it exists.
If it doesn’t exists, it will just load the default devbdb.css that comes with Display Embedded Videos by D.Biota.
This will allow you to upgrade Display Embedded Videos by D.Biota without worrying about overwriting your video title styles that you have created.

I have just installed the plugin, I hadn’t videos posted before today, and the daily_random mode doesn’t show any video, what happens?

The daily_random mode show videos posted from yesterday to the beginnig time of the site. Hence if you only have videos from today, you won’t see anything. Anyway, don’t worry, that case tomorrow you will start to see videos in the daily_random mode.

Can I choose to show videos only by Category, Tag or Forum (bbpress users)?

That can be donde with the PRO version.

Will I have to modifiy the shortcodes if I upgrade to PRO version?

No, you won’t. They are compatible and will work in the same way. The advantage with the PRO version is that you will have more options to show your videos (by category, by tag or by forum)

I have updated from version 1.0 to 2.0 and the new Vimeo video detection feature doesn’t show the Vimeo videos I posted previously in my site

Since version 2.0 is new to detect Vimeo videos, is needed to update the old videos detected database. To do so, you have to deactivate the plugin and activate it again. You will be asked to run the old videos detection the firts time, and this time previous Vimeo videos posted will be detected as well as Youtube ones.

Reviews

This Plugin Rocks

bsreverman October 12, 2016

This plugin does exactly what it says it does and very effectively. Had some issues – emailed Diego- and they were upgraded the next day. Perfect for group sites where members embeds need to be displayed in a gallery. Very helpful for a nooby like me.
