WordPress doesn’t have built-in video playlists. It has a built-in video player, but playlists aren’t part of it.
What plugin are you using for this functionality, or was it built into your theme?
James,
Thanks for the quick response! I guess I just assumed the video playlist was part of one of the recent WordPress updates. In that case it’s definitely part of my theme as I haven’t downloaded a plugin for this.
That being said, under what file do you think I would be able to find the code for the video playlist so that I can edit its size?
This is the theme I have by the way if it’s helpful at all:
Thanks for any and all help!
Well, it’s hard to say, there are 3,048 themes in the free directory alone, and they all operate a bit differently.
What is the name of your theme, and where did you get it from?
The name of this theme is Arcade (basic). And here’s the link: Arcade Basic
Alternatively, do you think there is a way to edit the size just via the “Text” section. Here is the code used for the video playlist:
[playlist type="video" ids="178,174,175,176,177"]
Again appreciate the help.
Ok, for this, I recommend asking at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/theme/arcade-basic#postform so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
Perfect. Thanks for your help James!
Hello James, just to be completely sure about what I read above, you told that “WordPress doesn’t have built-in video playlists” so you can’t mange it. In my experience, WordPress does not have a MANAGEMENT TOOL of youtube playlists, but has a video player that embeds them like normal videos. I tried to insert a playlit in a wordpress.com site (so: without special plugns) and the playlist is published without any problem. Here you are the example: https://ilfrigo.wordpress.com/playlist/
What I can’t do is modify the aspect or the cofiguration of the playlist because there aren’t specific shortcodes to do that, like the [video] shortcodes.
So… I can insert playlist from youtube, but I can’t change any setting (width, height, autoplay, poster and so on).
Is that correct?
All the best,
Marco Morello
