How do I play video clip only on my site?

Constant — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:30:30 GMT

Could someone help me to know how to play my video clips on my WordPress website? I don't want the video clip to take me to YouTube or whatever site the clip comes from. I is important that people only look at the clip on my page only. And do you know of a player that does not show other clips after I finish watch a clip on my page like YouTube does. You know what I mean, when you finish watch a YouTube clip, it shows you a bunch of other stuff right there on the screen you can choose from to continue to watch. I don't want to sort of setup, it is very big distraction from what people will go to my site to read. Thanks so much for your help!

WordPress Question: Editing content.php in child theme

Darren — Sat, 04 May 2013 00:31:19 GMT

So when editing those php files in a child theme folder, you add a php file (functions.php for example) and after the opening php tag, you declare a function. This loads before the file of the same name in the parent theme folder and executes whatever functionality you need in the blog.

How does it work with the content.php file? There are some lines of code I want to strip out from that file.

Do I copy the entire code from the content.php from the parent folder and paste that into an identical file of the same name in my child theme folder, taking out the part of the code I do not need?

In the past I have directly edited the parent theme files and got the results I need. This is not good practice however and I will not be doing it again.

Enable the wordpress text widget to excute php code

Jeff H — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:09:19 GMT

So I was trying to reference my image folder in a text widget last night using

PHP Code:


echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/images/myimage.png" />

Only to realize that you can not execute php code in the text widget so I did some googleing and found this snippet which will enable the text widget to execute php.

Just past the snippet into your functions.php file and enjoy php code in your text widgets.

PHP Code:


// enable php for the text widget



add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);



function execute_php($html){

     if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){

          ob_start();

          eval("?".">".$html);

          $html=ob_get_contents();

          ob_end_clean();

     }

     return $html;

}
