Archiver vs Featured Video Plus

Like this plugin? Please consider leaving a 5-star review. Archiver integrates your website with the Wayback Machine to create easy-to-view snapshots of your site over time, giving you a fully navigable visual history of the changes you’ve made. The plugin gives you some handy tools to easily trigger and view snapshots: Automatically creates a Wayback Machine snapshot when you update your content. Allows you to manually trigger a Wayback Machine snapshot of any page on your site using the admin. Allows you to easily view your site’s Wayback Machine archives (all snapshots) for any page on your site. Adds an “Archives” metabox to the admin edit screen of specific content types (see below) that can be used to easily view existing snapshots. Archiver makes it easy to do all of these things whether you’re editing a post in the admin or viewing it on the front-end. Currently, Archiver’s automated functionality works for the following content types: Posts Pages Users Custom Post Types Categories Tags Custom Taxonomies This means that whenever you edit/save one of these content types, a snapshot of the corresponding front-end page will be auto-generated and archived via the Wayback Machine. As you update your content, the Wayback Machine will automatically keep a visual history of your changes. To view these archives, use the handy admin bar link, or navigate check the Archiver metabox when editing content. If you have content that Archiver doesn’t know how to automatically handle, you can use the admin bar links to automatically trigger a snapshot from any page on your site. Also, let us know and we’ll do our best to add any needed automatic functionality. Also available via Github: https://github.com/MickeyKay/archiver

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.
