Only HTML text formatting can be used in the title and description fields. Hope that this information will help you to find a solution. * If you have other questions, feel free to ask them.

We would like to know more details in order to be able to provide more sufficient answer. * Thanks * Thread Starter [Larry_Oqobo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry_oqobo/) * (@larry_oqobo) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-video-embed/#post-9480198) * Thank you for the quick response. * It would be great to add another media type for an individual product once they click on the button for ‘View Product’ as found here [https://www.tbjinc.com/in-stock-equipment/](https://www.tbjinc.com/in-stock-equipment/). * I understand that you can add basic html with the details area. For developers/ coders that is not an issue but for a novice user it could be cumbersome. * I also discovered that the catalog strips https:// from the image load for the catalog view. It also does this for the individual product view as well. * Any help with this would be appreciated. * Larry * [huge-it-support-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/huge-it-support-1/) * (@huge-it-support-1) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-video-embed/#post-9481471) * Dear Larry_Oqobo, * We completely understand that it is rather difficult to use HTML for novice WordPress users but, unfortunately, it would be too time-consuming and resourceful changing the whole structure of the plugin, because it is initially designed for adding images as products. * In the case, if you are willing to have some additional videos and PDFs, we can suggest you create the pages where these videoes and PDFs will be under different URLs and will serve as product details. * Thus, if you remove the word “default” from the “Product page custom link” field and add some custom URL then after pressing the “view product” button the page will be redirected to a URL where the video and PDF are added: [http://prntscr.com/giyt3u](http://prntscr.com/giyt3u) * What refers to the https:// issue, then do you mean that the plugin overwrites image’s link and makes it http despite the fact that it is added as https? * Thanks * Thread Starter [Larry_Oqobo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry_oqobo/) * (@larry_oqobo) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-video-embed/#post-9482862) * When you try to go to [https://www.tbjinc.com/in-stock-equipment/](https://www.tbjinc.com/in-stock-equipment/) it does not allow for a true secure connection. I assume it is because of how the images are passed. * When I remove the catalog from the page, the page becomes fully secure. * Let me know if there is a resolution for this. * Thanks, Larry * [huge-it-support-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/huge-it-support-1/) * (@huge-it-support-1) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-video-embed/#post-9485193) * Dear Larry_Oqobo, * May we kindly ask you to [contact us ](https://huge-it.com/contact-us/)directly for the deeper investigation of the problem?
