Embed youtube

Hello @pipoulito,

By default, that textarea does not accept iframes. But you can use the built-in hooks to change this behavior.

Place the next snippet at the end of the functions.php file (located inside your active theme/child-theme directory).

/**
 * Add iframe to allowed html tags
 *
 * @param string $tags
 * @param string $context
 *
 * @return array
 */
function wpmm_allow_iframes($tags, $context) {
	if ($context === 'post') {
		$tags['iframe'] = array(
			'src' => true,
			'height' => true,
			'width' => true,
			'frameborder' => true,
			'allow' => true,
			'allowfullscreen' => true,
		);
	}

	return $tags;
}

add_filter('wp_kses_allowed_html', 'wpmm_allow_iframes', 10, 2);

Disclaimer: If there is a PHP closing tag (?>) at the of the file, make sure you add the snippet before it.

@pipoulito The fullscreen button of the embed should work fine. But if you want to use the video as a page background (or anything like this), you can change the HTML of the maintenance mode page by following these steps:

– download maintenance.php from /wp-content/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/views/ directory;
– rename the file to wp-maintenance-mode.php and change it however you need;
– upload the file to /wp-content/ directory.
