Description
Really Simple Featured Video plugin provides a really straightforward way of adding featured video support to your custom post types. Adding your own videos to the site is a breeze and you get an easy to use settings panel with the options you really need.
With Really Simple Featured Video you get a metabox at posts, pages & products edit screen at the very bottom and a very similar interface as you’re used to with featured image.
You get a really simple settings page which has all the controls you need for managing featured videos throughout your site. Explore it yourself for a better look or take a look at screenshots below.
NEW Youtube, Dailymotion and Vimeo Embed Support
You can now embed videos from Youtube, Dailymotion and Vimeo directly at each post/page/product or any custom type that supports featured images.
WooCommerce Support
This plugin came out of a real need with many plugins available out there yet none provides a good integration with WooCommerce.
Really Simple Featured Video plugin provides a straightforward implementation for WooCommerce Product Featured Video, with which your set featured video loads directly into product thumbnails along with any other product images.
Enable/Disable Post Types Support
You can enable/disable support for post types via the settings page though by default featured videos are enabled for blog posts.
Enable/Disable Video Controls, Autoplay, Loop & Picture-In-Picture
You can manage everything for the featured videos, by setting them accordingly, options for these are available at settings page.
Mute Video Sound
You also have an option to control video sound, set this at the settings page.
Shortcodes
There are also shortcodes to embed featured video at any post, page or product you want.
[rsfv] shortcode is for displaying set featured video of the individual post anywhere in the post.
[rsfv_by_postid] shortcode is for displaying featured video of any post anywhere you want, you just need to pass a vaild post id to it e.g. [rsfv_by_postid post_id=“281″]
