Hyperspective - WordPress Plugin - Dynamic Video for Divi Posts

Dynamic Video for Divi Posts

Dynamic Video for Divi Posts is a lightweight and user-friendly WordPress plugin designed specifically for users of the Divi Builder. This plugin lets you dynamically embed videos into your blog posts by simply entering a video URL into a custom meta box. No more manual copy-pasting of embed codes—just enter the URL (for example, from YouTube) and let the plugin do the rest!

Key Features

  • Seamless Divi Integration:
    Easily incorporate videos into your Divi Builder templates using the provided shortcode [dynamic_video].

  • Custom Meta Box:
    A dedicated “Video URL” meta box is automatically added to your post editor, allowing you to input a video URL without relying on the default custom fields interface.

  • Automatic Video Embedding:
    The plugin uses WordPress’s built-in oEmbed functionality to automatically generate the video embed code, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of video providers.

  • Internationalization Ready:
    All user-facing strings are fully internationalized, making it easy to translate the plugin for a global audience.

  • WordPress.org Guidelines Compliant:
    Developed with best practices in mind, it meets all security, code quality, and licensing requirements.

How It Works

  1. Install and Activate:
    Download and install the plugin via the WordPress admin dashboard. Once activated, the plugin adds a new meta box labeled “Video URL” to your post editor.

  2. Add a Video URL:
    When editing a post, simply enter the URL of the video you wish to embed (e.g., a YouTube link) in the “Video URL” meta box.

  3. Embed with Shortcode:
    In your Divi Builder template, add a Code or Text module and insert the shortcode:
    [dynamic_video]
    The plugin will automatically use the entered URL to display the embedded video on your blog post.

  4. View Your Post:
    Save or update your post, then preview it on the front-end. The video will be dynamically embedded into your content.
