If you don't already have a Vodpod account, create one here:
http://vodpod.com/newpod?r=wordpress
If you don't want to create an account, you can still install the widget, and we'll display videos we think are cool.
- Download the plugin archive and expand it (you've likely already done this).
- Put the 'vodpod_widget.php' file and 'vodpod' folder into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Go to the Plugins page in your WordPress Administration area and click 'Activate' for the Vodpod plugin.
To create a Sidebar Widget:
- Go to the Presentation menu, and click 'Sidebar Widgets'.
- Drag "Vodpod Videos" to your Sidebar, and click the icon next to it to show the configuration details.
- Enter your Pod URL, and customize the style, title, and color as you like.
To create a Gallery:
- Go to "Write" followed by "Write Page" in your WordPress Administration area.
- Write
[vodpod_gallery pod=YourPodSubdomain], and click Publish. YourPodSubdomain will be the text that comes before '.vodpod.com' on your pod homepage. For example, you would use 'funnyvideos' if your pod was http://funnyvideos.vodpod.com.
To create a Horizontal widget:
- Go go Presentation and choose Theme Editor in your Wordpress administration area.
- Select the 'Header' file from the right hand side of the theme editor.
- Add
<?php vp_template('[vodpod_header pod=YourPodSubdomain]'); ?> wherever you want the vodpod sidebar widget to appear.
- Click Update File
