Description

The plugin extends WordPress functionality to allow you to use videos as featured media instead of just images. When you set a featured video for your expected post types, it will automatically replace the featured image in post displays, providing a more dynamic and engaging visual experience.

Key Features:

  • Easy Setup: Simply upload a video and set it as your featured video
  • Automatic Replacement: Featured videos automatically replace featured images in post displays
  • Responsive Design: Videos are responsive and maintain proper aspect ratios
  • Autoplay Support: Videos can autoplay with muted audio for better user experience
  • Cross-Browser Compatibility: Works across all modern browsers
  • Accessibility: Includes fallback text for browsers that don’t support video

How It Works:

The plugin hooks into WordPress’s featured image system and automatically replaces the featured image with your selected video when displaying posts. The video maintains the same styling and responsive behavior as featured images.

  1. Upload the binsaif-featured-video-replacer folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress and Go to Settings->Featured Video setting page to select the post types
  3. Edit any post and you’ll see the option to set a featured video
  4. Upload or select a video file to use as your featured video
  5. The video will automatically replace the featured image in post displays
How do I set a featured video?

Edit any post and look for the “Featured Video” option in the post settings panel. You can upload a new video or select an existing one from your media library.

What video formats are supported?

Will the video autoplay?

Can I still use featured images?

Yes, the video is fully responsive and will adapt to different screen sizes while maintaining its aspect ratio.

What happens if a browser doesn’t support video?

The plugin includes fallback text that will display if the browser doesn’t support the video tag.
