Video Section

  • Hi Guys,

    I am looking to convert to WordPress from SilverStripe CMS. I am creating a website that mostly has a content section on the left… all fine. However I require a section on the right (in a new/separate div) which will contain a video if one is uploaded to the page. I have created a HTML5 player with all my own stylings. Is there a plugin/widget that I can use to place a video URL in my HTML5 player? Can I just use custom fields?

    Sorry if this is a bit simple. Just wanna make sure I do it correctly.

    Cheers Guys

  • If all you want to do is place a url, then using a custom fields would be the way to go.
    That’s what I would do.

    Hi Christine,

    Yep thats what I was thinking. Only problem is the user of the backend would have to upload a video and write in the link. I have found this a plugin, Advanced Custom Field, which I will first test. If no luck then I will use the custom field.

    Cheers

    The advanced custom field plugin is great.
    I’m using it myself for this exact purpose. However, I’ve asked the client to upload their videos to youtube first.
    I personally think that using youtube or vimeo makes it way easier for clients.

    I think that advanced custom field has an option to upload a file, so that could be a way to go around it.
