VideoPress

With the VideoPress Embed block, you can embed videos from VideoPress into your posts and pages. You don’t need a VideoPress account to be able to embed them, although the video-sharing option should be enabled.

Embedded VideoPress video

Steps to Embed a video from VideoPress:

  1. Find the video permalink

In the web player select the video and click on the “Share” button.

  1. In the share section, click on the permalink and it will be automatically copied, or alternatively, you can highlight the link and copy it.

VideoPress provides you three sharing options:

  • Start at = true/false to exactly the time you want the video to start at.
  • Loop = true/false to automatically play the video over and over.
  • Autoplay = true/false to automatically play the video when it loads.
  1. Add a VideoPress embed block to your page/post

Detailed instructions on adding blocks can be found here.

  1. Paste the link into the text box and click on the “Embed” button

If it’s a link that can be successfully embedded you will see a preview in your editor.

If you use an URL that can’t be embedded, the block shows the message “Sorry, this content could not be embedded.”

You will have two choices: Try again with a different URL or convert it to a link.

  1. Click on “Preview” to see how it will look on the front-end

Block Toolbar

Besides the “Mover” and “Drag & Drop Handle”, the Block Toolbar for the VideoPress Embed block shows four buttons:

  • Transform to
  • Change Alignment
  • Edit URL, and
  • More Options 

Transform to

You can transform a VideoPress embed into a Group. This would give you the ability to change the background color around the VideoPress embed.

“Wide width” and “Full width” alignment need to be enabled by the Theme of your site.

Block Settings

Besides the Advanced section, the VideoPress embed has only one setting in the “Block Settings” sidebar: Media Settings.

Media Settings

Via the Media Settings, you can control the behavior of your post embed when viewed from a smaller device, like on a phone screen.

The Toggle switch turns on or off the resize functionality for smaller devices. The default setting is “on” or blue.

“Off:” This embed may not preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. In the off position, the toggle switch is gray.

“On:” This embed will preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. The toggle switch turns blue in the “On” position.

Advanced

The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
