I m always waiting for ur tutorial where i can learnt something new. After watching tutorials, not only my technical skill has improved and my workflow has improved. I had no idea about setting api, sass, video post format and i used third party setting api plugin in backend for my theme settings but now i have complete understanding of settins api and oblivious sass for styling. Yes i have learnt all this from u. thank you very much for your help.
+Subhasish Manna Oh wow....I'm honoured...this is amazing! These kind of comments are fuel for my engine! Your passion and enthusiasm is what makes me keep going and trying to do better every time. Thank you so much!
Hi Alessandro. May I know how to change the video URL in Wordpress video post format? Because when I clicked edit post, there's no link to do that.. only page title, text and images appeared. Same goes on the right panel. Nothing for me to edit. Tried to switch to code editor or standard format.. still nothing that can allow me to change the video URL. Appreciate if you can share the solution. Thanks in advance!
Embed Reponsive isn't working for me. Checked bootstrap to see if the code for this changed but it didn't. Any suggestions? The video size does not change. Can't imagine it's just me then again most of these replies are a couple years old.
Again, thumbs up for the Video Tutorials, great stuff! However one question occured during the course of this video: If for some reason the user forgets to include a media file, in this case a video, the following php error is printed within the front-end "Notice: Undefined offset: 0", telling the user that the array is empty. Is there an approach to handle this in an elegant way?
+lcapocer Oh yes, I'm actually not considering too much these issues, because I'm coding the first layer of everything. Towards the end of the series I will simulate the installation of the theme into an empty WP installation, and I will show how to take care of all these weird behaviour and how to optimize everything for the final release! Thanks for the heads up!
echo mythemename_get_embeded_media (array ('video', '') ); When I write that doesn't work!!! Where did you define this function and what's the code, PLEASE send me a video?
Hm, I followed your instructions on creating video post format, but every time I get an Undefined Offset: 0 error in theme-support. I tried your code on GitHub but the same error still persist. This type of error is related to non-existing array in the loop. If you have any suggestions on how to solve this, I would be very grateful.
I managed to fix the problem, and I learn an important thing. The more time you spend on solving a problem, that problem is more likely to be silly and dumb. The code is fine, everything is okay there. But in the post, I added a video with . But when I changed from secure hypertext transfer protocol to regular protocol, it works fine and there is no error. Anyways, keep up the good work and you have my full support. Have a good day :)
"The more time you spend on solving a problem, that problem is more likely to be silly and dumb." This should be Chapter 1 of the Developer's Bible. I'm glad you solved it, and thanks for your support!
You can write a simple JS method that starts after a timeout of 2 seconds, select the video and play it. Something like this: setTimeout(function(){ $('.video-').play() }, 2000);
As you said in a previous video that we should put template files in "inc/templates/" folder, I completely agree with you. But a little confusion, if a hacker type "siteurl/wp-content/themes/theme-dir/inc/templates/" , he or she will see what pages are there and even click on the files to check what's in the file. As of now, I think this brings in potential vulnerabilities to the site since the hacker can see the HTML contents of that PHP generated page or the error messages of that PHP file. I know I could just disable PHP error message or give the file a complex and unguessable (sorry I don't know the right word :D) name or put a blank index.php file in that templates folder. But still I am not 100% comfortable with that cause if somehow(*1) they(hacker) know the template file name, they will be able to see the contents of that page. So my Q is: What is the best way to prevent a hacker from doing so? What's your way? Note 1: If multiple users install the theme then the webmasters of those installed sites know the template files names.
+Arif Billah No need to worry about those stuff. On a remote environment WordPress will handle all the unwanted access to your theme folders. The htaccess file will automatically redirect the attempt to a 404 page.
+Alessandro Castellani Well it still does not work. Please see here: vidmovs DOT com/wp-content/themes/grifus/footer.php it's does not show a 404 page.
Hey Alessandro ! :D It's me again, I just had a small question for you that's kinda relative, what do you think of becoming a wordpress focused freelancer? is it good after all, will i find some good jobs? bcs i've been struggling a little bit with normal php coding jobs! cheers!
WordPress development is currently a good and active market. Do a quick research in your area to see the requests and job availability related to that role. Anyway, learning properly WordPress is a good asset for any type of dev related job.
+Alessandro Castellani I have watched the whole series and i also enjoy your funny moment. You are an awesome guy! Thanks for your great resource . Actually your face is wonderful I think so....

Hi, thanks for watching. Are you sure you have the proper content in your WordPress admin area, and the script is pulling it correctly?

Alessandro Castellani Couldn't agree more :)
Thank you for the awesome tutorial.
One suggestion. We need to remove code
how do i auto-play the videos after some second of the page load.
You can write a simple JS method that starts after a timeout of 2 seconds, select the video and play it. Something like this:
setTimeout(function(){ $('.video-').play() }, 2000);
on whole internet/you tube your channel is the best one like your way of makings the person t understand. best best best...................
Oh wow, thank you so much :D

What about freelance websites? like upwork, bcs I'm pretty young for a company atm.

Thanks, I know sometimes my videos are super long >_>

Thanks
How to do same thing in 2018 this doesn't work ?
It should work, all this code is compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Check my source code on GitHub to see if you have any typos.
Doesn't work now
Check my source code on GitHub, you have for sure a typo. The code works perfectly with the current version of WordPress.
Thanks for a reply you made that custom function in audio post format video
