Page with videos only

I am trying to build a page (i guess it can also be a post if it has to) that looks like this and only like this, without the additional text / blog post. I am mostly embedding youtube or twitch clips and would like to have a similar design. There are going to be videos added daily.

Any suggestions / recommendation how to achieve this?

Hi Catalin,

Thanks for your answer!
I got to this point.

The questions I have are the following:
1. Under the title there’s usually an AD. I don’t integrate (any kind of) ads on the website. Because of this, the right side of the video is always empty. Can I:
– a. Add a static image
– b. Add some [very short] descriptive text there?
The idea is to avoid having that empty space there. If that place can be filled with something else, please let me know

2. How complicated would it be to integrate support for Twitch clips? Is it possible doing so using a child theme? Would go the extra mile to do it myself if the integration is not crazy complicated for those not familiar with WP’s core. Here’s such an example. Twitch allows embedding the videos using a simple iFrame.

In articles & co, that’s easy to do, but I’d like to use the videos feature you provide and use along Facebook and Youtube videos also Twitch clips.

3. If I have a category called “videos” with 3 subcategories each looking similar to the one I linked at the beginnings of this post. Is it possible to ‘restrict’ the “related videos” displayed under the main video to a specific subcategory?

Thanks!

Hi Catalin,
Thanks for your follow up.

Regarding the first thing you mentioned, I am totally aware of what you explained me. What I was trying to say is that in my case, as I don’t integrate ads, this space here is empty. http://imgur.com/a/ChUeG
In your case, you have this box. https://imgur.com/a/ioH36 . Is it possible to have something else there, instead of the ad?

Lastly, in your screenshot and on demo, this space here http://imgur.com/a/BTzNZ does’t exist. But when I do a post, it does. Any clue why / how to get rid of it?

Edit: the empty space at the bottom is only for facebook videos. Doesn’t show up for youtube videos. Is this a bug?
Thanks!

Thanks @ the source for the ad. Worked.

@the other issue, that place is not defined for the related videos/articles. Those are beneath the “Facebook/Twitter sharing buttons”. That’s justa bug where the embedded facebook videos have a default height set to 500px.
The bug doesn’t apply to other sources (like facebook or vimeo)

Hi Catalin!

Here’s a Facebook embed: https://esportsmedia.ro/featured/yapzor-god/
Here’s a Youtube embed: https://esportsmedia.ro/featured/secret-vs-ig-quarter-highlights/
here’s another Facebook embed: https://esportsmedia.ro/featured/jeraxs-earth-spirit/

Both Facebook embeds are broken. I even added the related articles feature to make it clear that’s not the issue.

Hi @Catalin

Any updates on the Facebook video bug?
Haven’t seen anything related on the latest update changelog

Hi @Catalin

I manage to update now to 8.1
Indeed, Facebook integration works now. But the problem I am facing is that the embeds are in russian, for whatever reason.
This has nothing to do with one’s settings or with the WordPress installation (as you can see, mine is in Romanian).

Here’s a link: https://esportsmedia.ro/trailer/the-archlich-of-naxxramas/
Here’s another: https://esportsmedia.ro/highlights/pubg/fast-and-furios/

Any idea how I could fix this / change the language to English or Romanian (as you have it in the screenshot above)?

That’s en extremely ugly fix.
Any idea what could cause Facebook to be set to uk_UA ? Especially since I didn’t install any plugin nor use Facebook in anyway until now.

Before the 8.1 update, the Facebook embeds were in EN (if you remember the tests I made above) so… something changes now, for whatever reason.

I tried the script provided in that topic, namely:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'facebook_sdk_replace' );
function facebook_sdk_replace( $content ) {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        $content = str_replace("/uk_UA/", "/en_US/", $content);
    }
    return $content;
}

Nothing changed as you can see on https://esportsmedia.ro/highlights/pubg/fast-and-furious/
I also created one more, to check if the script would be changed for new posts: https://esportsmedia.ro/highlights/pubg/pan-power/

Manipulating the header.php did, indeed, solve the issue.

I’ll keep an eye on finding a more future proof solution.

Thanks
