Title: Short code advanced options? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Short code advanced options? * Resolved [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * (@wp_begginer_pri) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/) * Hi, * Firstly, congrats on coming up with this amazing plugin and thanks a lot for making it available to us. Will surely donate on getting cashflow 🙂 * I had a question about using short codes. I found your answer from a previous post about using [vidbg container=”” mp4=”” webm=”” poster=””]. * I wanted to add to this the 4 other advanced options (overlay, mute audio etc). Could you please write the example as before with all the advanced parameters added? * I think the short code feature is very imp as many themes need page data to fill up template (Accesspress parallax theme([https://accesspressthemes.com/wordpress-themes/accesspress-parallax/](https://accesspressthemes.com/wordpress-themes/accesspress-parallax/)) for example.So, only short codes work and not the default where we fill in the values.) * Finally, can we link videos from youtube in future updates? My primary objective is to make a video background on any element/section of a homepage/post page. Much like we see in internet.org * Have a good day. * Best, Wp_Beginner * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Contributor [blakedotvegas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blakedotvegas/) * (@blakedotvegas) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700846) * Hi Wp_Beginner, * Thanks for the kind words! It’s much appreciated! * Since the shortcode feature was dissolved in v1.0, the overlay, mute, and loop features are not noticed in the shortcode. I am in the works though of completely re-doing the shortcode feature to accept all of these parameters. I will keep in touch with you to let you know when the shortcode comes back 🙂 * As for the youtube videos, this may be a possibility down the road, but I have no time frame for such a feature right now. * Have a wonderful day and thanks for your input! * Regards * Thread Starter [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * (@wp_begginer_pri) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700881) * Hello, * Sorry for the late reply. Was travelling. * Thank you for your response. Will wait for the short code updates then :)Really important feature I guess. I will implement your plugin on live site after you update. For now the test site is doing great but just needs the update to make it look awesome 😉 * Have a wonderful day and thanks for the plugin. * Best, * Thread Starter [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * (@wp_begginer_pri) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700883) * Hello again, * I forgot to mention, I would be very grateful if you can give an estimated time by when I can expect the updates with short code advanced options :)I accept it is only an estimation and no issue at all if it does not match in the future. * It will help me manage my design task dates for my site. * Have a great day and many thanks in advance. * Best, * Plugin Contributor [blakedotvegas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blakedotvegas/) * (@blakedotvegas) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700886) * Hi Wp_Beginner, * I hope you had a great trip! * I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I don’t have an exact ETA, however, I’m working on the update right now and hope to release it within the next week 🙂 * I hope this helps in scheduling your design tasks. * Have a wonderful day, & I wish you an early happy holiday. * Regards, * Thread Starter [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * (@wp_begginer_pri) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700889) * Hi Blake, * Trip was good thanks 🙂 * Thank you for the update. I will take it into account. * You rock. Have a wonderful day ahead and happy holiday to you too in advance. * Will post an update in the future after implementing your update. * Best Regards, * Plugin Contributor [blakedotvegas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blakedotvegas/) * (@blakedotvegas) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700893) * Hi Wp_begginer_pri, * I’ve updated the plugin to support the corresponding shortcode fields(v2.4.0) however WordPress is not updating my repo page ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/)). I’ve tried to get in contact with them but no luck so far. So here are the instructions for the shortcode’s additional fields for muting, overlay, and loop. `[vidbg container="body" mp4="#" webm="#" poster="#" muted="true" loop="true" overlay ="false"]` The values keyed in here are the “default” values. I hope this helps! There will be more detailed instructions when the page is updated. Sorry for the long wait! * Have a great weekend! * Thread Starter [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * (@wp_begginer_pri) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700894) * Hi Blake 🙂 * Thank you so much for the update. i just noticed it as I was checking the repo page and not the thread. I will update and test it out. * Have a great christmas and a very happy new year in advance. * Best, Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Short code advanced options?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/video-background/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2774411) * [Video Background](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-background/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-background/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-background/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-background/reviews/) ## Tags * [Short Code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/short-code/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Wp_begginer_pri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp_begginer_pri/) * Last activity: [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-advanced-options/#post-6700894) * Status: resolved
