Title: Working with video shortcodes Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Working with video shortcodes * Resolved [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-with-video-shortcodes/) * Steve, * I note that this plugin doesn’t work with video shortcodes. I develop the popular YouTube Embed plugin and am currently working on another video embedding plugin. As a user of this plugin myself, I was wondering if there was a way to add in the compatibilty? In other words, is there a way I can hook my plugins into Lazy Load so that they work, or is it a consequence of the way that shortcodes are actioned by WordPress? * Thanks, David. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/a3-lazy-load/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/a3-lazy-load/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Steve Truman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a3rev/) * (@a3rev) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-with-video-shortcodes/#post-6201942) * **Hello David** * Thanks for reaching out. Will download your video Embed plugin next week and see what has to be done to add compatibility and let you know. It works with shortcodes action by WordPress – no problems but will take a look at your plugin and give you the exact code you need to add for full compatibility between our 2 plugins. * Have a great weekend * Steve * Thread Starter [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-with-video-shortcodes/#post-6201946) * Thanks Steve. I’m also working on a much bigger video plugin, so I can then ensure that has the same compatibility “out of the box” too. Naturally in both cases I’ll promote the compatibility with your plugin too, which might help you too 🙂 * David. * Plugin Contributor [Nguyen Tuan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nguyencongtuan/) * (@nguyencongtuan) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-with-video-shortcodes/#post-6202017) * **Hi David** * I’m lead developer from **a3rev** * First, thanks for you are using this plugin, i also have download and install your Youtube Embed plugin, i’m really like your plugin. * Yes, we don’t apply lazy load with all shortcodes from themes and another plugins, so it also does not work for your video shortcodes , but it still work for default shortcodes from WP. The reason we don’t support images/videos show from shortcodes so that it will have big problem with the slider/gallery plugins * But the lazy load plugin support some filter tags for themes or plugins can use to filter output content before show on frontend, below are 3 filter tags that we check if they are defined on themes or plugins: * ``` 'a3_lazy_load_html' tag : apply lazy load for all what we support as image, video, Facebook iframe, twitter iframe, ... 'a3_lazy_load_images' tag: apply lazy load for images only 'a3_lazy_load_videos' tag: apply lazy load for videos, iframe ``` * For example the code like * > `return $your_output_content` * then update it to * > `return apply_filters( 'a3_lazy_load_html', $your_output_content );` * I have look on your plugin code version 3.3.2 and see that you just need to change bit on your plugin code to it compatibility with a3 Lazy Load * **\* Update on line 147 path includes/shortcodes.php** * > `return do_shortcode( $youtube_code );` * to * > `return apply_filters( 'a3_lazy_load_html', do_shortcode( $youtube_code ) );` * **\* Update on line 59 path includes/generate-widgets.php** * > `echo vye_generate_youtube_code ( $instance[ 'id' ], ... );` * to * > `echo apply_filters( 'a3_lazy_load_html', vye_generate_youtube_code ( $instance[' > id' ], ... ) );` * Also want to tell you that current a3 Lazy Load just support videos loaded from`
