1. UPLOAD & SETUP
Thanks for purchasing the WPVideoTheme. This package
includes WPVideoTheme v1.1
To use the WPVideoTheme upload the file Wordpress theme folder. (wp-
content/themes) When you upload it go to your Admin Panel and active the
theme on “Design” tab. (Wordpress 2.5) (Screen as shown below.)
Writing a Post
Firstly I must say that, I will give you best options for writing a post. If you want to
use different values (thumbnails, more tag.. etc) you can use. But I say that again
the options as written below best options for WPVideoTheme v1.1
The WPVideoTheme is compatible with several formats like Youtube, Google,
Metacafe, Dailymotion, FLV, Quicktime and Windows Media too.
Writing posts with WPVideoTheme different from the other Wordpress themes.
You will see the how to post a video with text below.
Creating Thumbnails
I always use 250 pixel by 250 pixel image for posts. This is the best option for
the WPVideoTheme but as I said you can set different sizes. Choose and upload
your thumbnail to your server and paste image URL to “Excerpt”
2. Writing Text & Article
Click on the “HTML” tab on the writing panel and write “<!--more-->”.Then
return the “Visual” mod and write your post.
3. In that case your post won’t be published on the homepage. Your thumbnail will
be showed on homepage with a description: “Read the rest of this entry »”
Adding Videos
4. You have to use “Custom Fields” section for adding videos. There’re 3 steps :
1-Creating an actual link where the video is located.
Under the custom fields section of you post, create a new key called “vlink”. In
the key value field, enter the actual link to where the video is located.
2- involves setting the video width dimension for the popup effect (as shown on
the demo). Add a new custom field called “vwidth”. In the key value field, enter
the actual width of the video you are embedding.
3-involves setting the video height dimension for the popup effect (as shown on
the demo). Add a new custom field called “vheight”. In the key value field, enter
the actual width of the video you are embedding.
Depending on the video type you are using, the link value might be different.
Some examples of keys and values have been listed below for your reference.
