FAQ
-
How does this plugin work?
-
Instead of loading the iframe of your video on page load, it only loads the video preview image.
This will work automatically for all videos that have been inserted through the standard page editor. -
Is it possible to insert a video using a shortcode?
-
Yes, you can use the
[sllv_video]shortcode using a link to a YouTube or Vimeo video as its value, like:[sllv_video]https://youtu.be/GywDFkY3z-c[/sllv_video] -
Can I embed a lazy loaded video into my template file?
-
Yes, but you cannot insert a shortcode
[sllv_video]into your template file directly.
You will need to pass the code into apply_shortcodes() function and display its output like this:<?php echo apply_shortcodes( '[sllv_video]https://youtu.be/GywDFkY3z-c[/sllv_video]' ); ?>
