Ambrosite Body Class Enhanced vs Featured Video Plus

When activated, this plugin causes the body_class template tag to output five additional classes. On single posts (is_single) : postname-[permalink slug] single-[category slug] parent-[parent category slug] (all parent and grandparent categories in a hierarchy of any depth) On pages (is_page) : pagename-[permalink slug] On category archives (is_archive and is_category) : parent-category-[parent category slug] (all parent and grandparent categories in a hierarchy of any depth) Custom Taxonomies As of version 1.3, the plugin now supports custom hierarchical taxonomies. The new body classes take the following form: On single posts (is_single) : single-[taxonomy]-[term slug] parent-[taxonomy]-[parent term slug] (all parent and grandparent terms in a hierarchy of any depth) On taxonomy archives (is_archive and is_tax) : parent-term-[parent term slug] (all parent and grandparent terms in a hierarchy of any depth) For single posts, the taxonomy name is included in the class name, because I felt it was important to be able to distinguish between taxonomies in cases where a post is assigned to more than one custom taxonomy, and when the same term might appear in two or more taxonomies. For example, suppose you had a real estate site with property listings in New York City, and you had two custom taxonomies defined: City and State. Then the classes would look like this: single-city-new-york single-state-new-york Multisite Support As of version 1.3, the plugin now supports multisite installations. If a multisite install is detected, the plugin will output the follow additional body class on every page of the site: site-[site ID] Examples If you have a post titled “Top 10 Decorating Ideas”, in category “Christmas”, with a parent category of “Holidays” and a grandparent category of “Calendar”, the additional body classes will be as follows: postname-top-10-decorating-ideas single-christmas parent-holidays parent-calendar Why is this useful? Because it enables you to style individual posts and pages, as well as entire categories of posts, using only CSS, without having to edit the template files or create new templates. Continuing the above example, if I wanted to give all of the posts in the Christmas category a green heading (to give them some extra holiday cheer), I could use a CSS selector like this: body.single-christmas h1 { color: green; } Going further, suppose I want to attach a background image of a Christmas tree ONLY to the “Top 10 Decorating Ideas” post: body.postname-top-10-decorating-ideas div.post { background: url('images/xmas_tree.gif') no-repeat left top; } What if I want all posts categorized under Holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, whatever) to have a sidebar with a gold border? body.parent-holidays div#sidebar, /* all posts assigned to a subcategory of Holidays */ body.single-holidays div#sidebar { /* any posts assigned directly to the Holidays category */ border: solid 2px gold; } These are just a few examples. If you are experienced in writing CSS selectors, you will find many more uses for the new body classes.

A picture is worth a thousand words. How many words is a video worth? Featured Videos work like Featured Images, just smoother: Paste a video URL into the designated new box on the post edit screen and the video will be displayed in place of a post image. There are three ways to get the videos onto your page: Automagically! If your theme makes use of WordPress’ native featured image functionality you are set: Automatic insertion, lazy loading or lightbox overlays, its your choice. If this does not work you can either insert the [featured-video-plus]–Shortcode in your posts or manually make use of the PHP-functions in your theme’s source files. For more details, check the installation page. Theme compatibility Sadly many themes do not follow the WordPress standards and implement their own fancy functions for displaying featured images – those very likely break this plugin. Check out the FAQ. Another common problem are sliders: Videos, in general, do not like sliders at all. See the plugin in action on yrnxt.com. There is a button in the sidebar to switch between the different featured video display modes: Automatic, lazy and overlay. Besides Local Videos you can use videos from a whole lot of external providers like YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion. SoundCloud and Spotify (including playlists) are supported as well. Check the WordPress Codex for a complete list. If some provider is not listed you can always just use an embed code or whatever HTML you like. After installing the plugin check your site’s Media Settings (Settings -> Media in the administration interface): The plugin adds quite some little helper options there. Change to lazy or overlay mode, tweak video sizing, individualize the look of the most prominent providers’ video players and turn on autoplay or video looping. By default videos try to dynamically fit their parent containers width and adjust their size responsively. Support I do read all support questions in the forums but cannot reply to all of them. The plugin is an unpaid side project and full support would require more time than I can invest for free for over 20k active installs.
