Wordpress Youtube video blog theme
Turn your Wordpress powered site into a Youtube Video Blog.
Most bloggers already know that it’s possible to easily embed flash video’s in blog posts. What’s not as well known is that YouTube creates a thumbnail for each video that we can also embed. This makes it possible to create a video blog with an index of clickable thumbnails.
The free Videographer theme works best with the two different plugins: WP Youtube and WP Postratings.
Once everything is installed you can post video’s, simply by including the unique Youtube video ID’s in a custom field in your wordpress posts. With this brilliant theme you an easily turn your wordpress blog into a video blog.
Embed youtube videos in wordpress with KLM Flashembed plugin
In this post I’m going to show how to embed flash into your wordpress blog posts. This will allow you to show youtube videos directly from your blog. KLM Flashembed is a plugin for wordpress that will do the trick. Download the latest version and upload the files to your plugins folder, then activate the plugin in your wordpress administration panel.
When writing a post or page, you can embed the youtube video with the following code:
[*kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/jZULGg9kfCo" height="350" width="425" /]
(remove the asterisk *)
“jZULGg9kfCo” is to be replaced with the video ID. Width and height is optional and can be adjusted to fit in . The output of the above code would look like this:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/jZULGg9kfCo" height="350" width="425" /]
RunPHP – Include PHP in your wordpress blog posts or pages
RunPHP by James van Lommel, is a Plugin for WordPress that enables bloggers to embed PHP code directly into their posts.
How to use:
- Download the plugin from the author’s site, and upload the files to the plugin directory of your wordpress weblog (/wp-content/plugins).
- Activate the plugin by logging into your WordPress administration panel, going to ‘Plugins’ on the menu bar, then clicking Activate at the end of the RunPHP row.
- Now add php codes in your posts and pages, by simply checking the new option box that says ‘run PHP code?’
The code executed by runPHP is not in the global scope. It is executed as if it were inside a function block and so you’ll need to declare your globals accordingly.
Note: The plugin doesn’t work with few badly written WordPress themes. This is most likely caused by a missing wp_head() call in the theme’s header template (often called header.php). If that is the case, fixing it is simply a matter of inserting.
