Media Manager for Genesis

A Plugin for Genesis Framework WordPress themes

Create a video/media library within your Genesis powered WordPress website.

Media Manager for Genesis enables you to create a ‘videos’ archive page within your site. Each video post supports a video URL (from external video hosting services such as YouTube and Vimeo), featured image, categories, PDF attachments and external links.

All without any coding or additional plugins.

  • Works with all video services that are supported by WordPress and oEmbed
  • Creates a new custom post type that separates video from the rest of your content
  • Supports featured images for each video
  • Can also be used for other media types (think soundcloud music or Instagram images) – any embed type that WordPress supports
  • Creates a new video library (a post type archive) in your Genesis site
  • Supports attaching PDFs to videos and linking out to services like SlideShare to link users up with presentation slides or handouts
  • Control comments on the media
  • It’s the quickest way to get a video library in your site – no coding!

Instant video library

Once installed your site will have a new video library (a WordPress custom post type and an archive page), located at Yoursite.com/video/, yes you can customise the URL if you like.

video-wordpress-dashboard

A new Video menu in your WordPress dashboard allows you to begin adding videos to your site.

Support for WordPress widgets

The plugin will install a new widget into your site. This allows you to display video content in any WordPress widget area. Perhaps you’ll want to display a video in a sidebar of your site, maybe right up on the home page. You can use the widget area over and again so you could choose to do both.

Great for training videos inside WordPress

If you’d like to publish PDF or other files with your videos, we’ve got you covered there too. Each video published can have a file associate with it that is then made available for the viewed underneath the video. Great for displaying worksheets or other training documentation alongside a video.We also support an external link for each video. So if you have a slide deck up on a service like slide share you can direct a user to that with ease.

More than just video?

The plugin uses WordPress’ oEmbed feature. Anything you can embed this way can be used to ceate a library of media. Perhaps you’re a musician and you’d like to embed your songs from SoundCloud? Simple change the labels in the plugin to something more relevant and you can showcase your music with “Listen Now” buttons instead!SoundCloud music, Instagram images, Slideshare content, PollDaddy surveys and more! If it can be embed with oEmbed then it’s possible. Learn more about WordPress oEmbed here.
