SYB – Video Don't Loop for Cover Block

By default, videos inside WordPress Cover blocks loop endlessly. Video Don’t Loop gives you a simple way to stop that — just add the CSS class noloop to any Cover block and the video will play once and stop.

How to use:

1. Edit a page or post in the WordPress block editor.
2. Select a Cover block that contains a video.
3. In the block settings sidebar, scroll down to “Advanced” and add noloop to the “Additional CSS class(es)” field.
4. Save or publish — the video will no longer loop.

No settings page, no configuration needed. Lightweight and focused on doing one thing well.
