How to use:
- Edit a page or post in the WordPress block editor.
- Select a Cover block that contains a video.
- In the block settings sidebar, scroll down to “Advanced” and add
noloopto the “Additional CSS class(es)” field. - Save or publish — the video will no longer loop.
No settings page, no configuration needed. Lightweight and focused on doing one thing well.
