Embedding a video link on to your site

Adding a video to a book details page for Wordpress sites is done in the Supafolio plugin on Wordpress. 

The easiest way to play videos on the website is to use YouTube as converting videos into different formats can be difficult and time-consuming. Please contact support if you wish to use a different video player via Jira, investigation fees may apply. 

 

Step 1 - creating the URL

  • Go to the YouTube Video or Playlist you would like to embed. 
  • From the list Share options, click Embed. 
  • A box will appear, copy the entire HTML code that is shown. 
    • Make a note or save this code as you will need it once in WordPress

Step 2 - Adding to to the site.

    • ISBN 13 - Enter the ISBN no of the book in the ISBN 13 
    • Extra Content Title - enter the related content title you use.  In the example provided we use XXXX.  

 

  • Extra Content -  on the right side make sure you have selected Text and not Visual. 
  • Paste the URL you previously copied from YouTube into the Field.
