Replace featured image with video
5 replies · Started by Mark on December 28, 2017
Hello,
I would like to replace featured images with videos. I've tried Featured Video Plus but it's not working the way I want it to, so I'm building a custom solution.
I've created a custom field for the video link 'video_url' and I want to replace the whole post-thumbnail code with this code:
'<video class="featured-video" src="(link from video-url)" autoplay loop muted playsinline ></video>'
Can you help me with php code?
Hi there,
That plugin is what we suggested: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/video-thumbnail-instead-of-picture-in-generatepress/
What isn't working for you?
With Featured Video Plus set at autoplay+loop, only one video at the time is playing. I want to replace gifs with mp4 videos and have more videos looping at one time.
You could try using this filter: generate_featured_image_output
For example:
add_filter( 'generate_featured_image_output', 'tu_custom_featured_image' );
function tu_custom_featured_image( $output ) {
if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_your_id', true ) ) {
return 'your code';
} else {
return $output;
}
}Thank Tom!
It's working, you are amazing!
Glad I could help! :)
