I am fairly certain I have seen this posted in the forum but I just can’t find the answer. How do I post a youtube video into the slider. I have got as far as it appearing in the admin video options box under the main box when I have added a featured slider but I can’t work out how to make it appear in the frontend homepage slider. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Hi Sam –
You can post video by going to the Featured Slider>> Add Slide – (give the slide a name) – and then scroll down to the Video options. There, you should answer “yes” to the question do you want to “Embed a Video.” And that is pretty much it. You just need to supply the video’s URL.
Let me know if you have any problems. I just followed this process and it worked for me.
Thanks for the speedy reply Scott, some how or other if I follow those instructions, I publish to a separate page but not to the homepage slides. I found that if I then set a random picture to slide image > set featured image, the random picture also appears on separate page with video below but the video does then appear in the homepage slides (minus random picture). I’m sure I am doing something wrong but I guess it’s a success of sorts!
Hi Sam – is it possible that in your Slider Set Up (Appearance>>CBOX Theme Options>>Homepage>>Slider Setup) you have selected “Show Featured Posts from a Category”? If so, maybe try the other option, “Show Site Features.”
When you want to display a video, you should not assign a featured image to the slide. Just the video. Maybe that is the reason? If you are still struggling, please send a screenshot and/or a link so we can see the issue a little more clearly. Thanks a lot!
