Use Flowplayer if you want to sell videos, build a private video library, or avoid platform lock-in. Method A: Manual Integration (For Developers) Step 1: Enqueue Flowplayer scripts Add this to your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin:
function enqueue_flowplayer() wp_enqueue_script('flowplayer', '//releases.flowplayer.org/7.2.7/flowplayer.min.js', array(), null, true); wp_enqueue_style('flowplayer', '//releases.flowplayer.org/7.2.7/skin/skin.css'); wordpress flowplayer
Use: [flowplayer src="https://.../video.mp4" poster="https://.../image.jpg"] Since Flowplayer doesn’t store videos, you need a hosting solution: Use Flowplayer if you want to sell videos,
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_flowplayer'); build a private video library
<div class="flowplayer" data-ratio="0.4167"> <video> <source type="video/mp4" src="https://yourdomain.com/videos/sample.mp4"> </video> </div>
function flowplayer_shortcode($atts) $a = shortcode_atts(array( 'src' => '', 'width' => '640', 'height' => '360', 'poster' => '', ), $atts); if (!$a['src']) return '';
