Adding Videos to Blog Page

[Andrew Hall]

I have a post with a video at the very top of it (very first thing in the post). When I open the post, I see the video, but I do not see it when I am just on the Blog Page.

Is there a way to have the video load on the Blog Page – that is, without clicking on the post, but on the page where you are viewing the short version of many posts?

Hi,

Well for that you need to edit the code a bit. The way it is coded right now is to show excerpts from the content and nothing else.

But for you, you have to change it to showing content and then manually for each post use the more tag given within WordPress editor area of a post.

Or else add a code within functions.php to grab video from content.

Or else use a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/

I know i am not giving one definite answer because i don’t know whether you are a developer or someone non technical.

Also in case you can send us your WordPress site with admin and ftp details at our email: [email protected] we can check if we can do something quickly for you to get videos on short version of your posts.

Regards,
Shri
