Metabox for category pages?

Hi luukkeee,

There is no way to display the Video Background metabox on the category pages. However, if you’d like a video background on a category archive page on the frontend you can use this function:

/**
 * Conditional Video Background Pro shortcode on category pages
 * @author Push Labs
 * @version 0.26.17
 */
function vidbgpro_category_shortcode() {
  /**
   * This conditional statement checks if the current page
   * is an archive and category page. If it is not, quit.
   */
  if ( ! is_archive() && ! is_category() ) {
    return;
  }
  
  // Create our shortcode
  $shortcode = '[vidbg container=”body” mp4=”#” webm=”#” poster=”#” muted=”true” loop=”true” overlay=”false” overlay_color=”#000″ overlay_alpha=”0.3″]';
  
  // activate our shortcude using the do_shortcode() function
  echo do_shortcode( $shortcode );
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'vidbgpro_category_shortcode' );

Adding this to the functions.php page will execute that shortcode when on a category archive page. Additionally, you can show different videos on different categories if you’d like with a conditional is_category().
