FAQ
Does Video Gallery work with the WordPress Block Editor?
Yes, WordPress includes a Custom HTML block for adding embed code to page and post content. Add the block where you want your Video Gallery to appear and paste the Elfsight installation code into it.
Can I add the video player with Elementor?
Yes, if your WordPress website uses Elementor, add an HTML element to the required area of your page and paste your installation code there.
Once you publish the changes, the Video Gallery will appear in that section of the page.
Can I add Video Gallery to WordPress without coding?
Absolutely. You create and configure your gallery in the Elfsight editor, then copy the generated installation code and paste it into your WordPress website.
For the standard WordPress editor, you can use a Custom HTML block, so you don’t need to write or modify the code yourself.
Can I add the video plugin to WordPress posts and pages?
Yes, you can place Video Gallery on individual WordPress pages or posts wherever your setup allows a Custom HTML block or equivalent HTML element.
This gives you flexibility to use this video widget for tutorials, portfolios, product content, case studies, resources, reviews, and other types of pages.
What video sources does Elfsight support?
The Video Gallery supports YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and Custom Source.
You can collect videos from these supported sources and present them together in one consistent gallery on your WordPress website.
Can I combine videos from different platforms in one gallery?
Yes, you can include content from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and custom sources in the same gallery.
This makes it easier to bring together videos that are spread across different channels and give visitors one place to explore them.
Can I upload video files directly to Elfsight?
No, Video Gallery works with video links instead of direct file uploads.
Publish or host your video through a supported source first, then paste its URL into the Elfsight editor to add it to your gallery.
What is Custom Source in Video Gallery?
Custom Source provides an additional way to add supported video content when it doesn’t come from one of the listed platforms.
Select Custom Source in the editor, provide the required video link, and include it alongside the rest of your gallery content.
Can I make certain videos appear first?
Yes, you can pin priority videos so they appear at the beginning of the gallery.
Select the videos you want visitors to notice first and pin them in the editor. This works well for featured tutorials, new releases, important announcements, popular content, or current campaigns.
Can I use filters and sorting in my WordPress Video Gallery?
Yes, with filters and sorting you can make larger video collections easier for visitors to explore.
They can be useful for tutorial libraries, portfolios, educational resources, product content, or any gallery that covers several subjects or types of videos.
Can visitors continue watching with the mini-player?
You can enable the mini-player to keep the active video visible while visitors continue browsing other content on the page.
This creates a smoother viewing experience without requiring the main video player to stay in the center of the page.
What happens after a video finishes?
Use the Video Behavior settings to choose what follows playback. You can replay the current video, play the next video, show an end card, or display an end card and then continue to the next video.
The end card can include a promotional banner that directs visitors toward another page, product, service, offer, article, campaign, or other relevant next step.
Can vertical videos open in a popup?
Yes. Vertical videos and Shorts can open in a mobile-friendly vertical popup, giving short-form content a viewing format that feels natural on smaller screens.
This can be especially useful if you’re looking for WordPress popup video plugin functionality for Shorts, TikTok-style clips, and other vertical videos.
