I’m very new to wordpress and we are looking to embed a youtube video to our media gallery and then add it to one of our projects. I have created a new category for it, but have no idea how to embed the video to the media gallery and have it the same size as the pictures.
Update: I see your website is using the Mies theme, which has built-in support for videos. There may be another way to add video content to Galleries within the theme as well.
Thanks for your response. I was able to embed the youtube video for the project, but would like the video to only be visible under a single category and not all of the categories. Is that possible?
what I mean about the categories. Is that under the portfolio page, there are 4 categories
1. All
2. Completed
3. Custom Renovations
4. Now available
I want to add a 5th category called “Home Tours” and embed the video above, but I just want it under the “Home Tours” category and not the other 4. This is for the 2015 N. Clifton house.
I guess I don’t see how your video could show up in “Home Tours” and not in “All”. Since this is a premium theme, I’m not able to test out what you’re trying to do, but if I’m understanding what you want to do, I don’t think it’s possible. To me, it sounds like the best place for this video is on the 2015 N. Clifton house post, not as a portfolio piece in a separate category. Is the goal of creating a separate category intended to signal to visitors that video is available to view? You might query the theme creators and see if they have a solution for you. I’m sorry I don’t have a good answer.
ok, yeah I figured that might be the case. I think I will just have to embed the video and have it show up in all categories or just create a media/video page
I do have another question on social icons. I’m trying to get the youtube icon inserted into the footer, but the icon does not show up. I can add the link to our youtube channel and click it, but there is no icon present.
I added the youtube code below to the stylesheet(css) and still nothing. I do have the social media feather plug in installed. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
