In this tutorial, we are going to be creating multimedia playlists in WordPress. A multimedia playlist is a collection of different media files that can be played back-to-back. They can be used to create a video or audio experience on your website or blog.
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WP Playlist plugin. For more information, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once the plugin is activated, you need to create a new post or page where you want to add the playlist. On the post editor screen, you will notice a new button labeled “Add Playlist”.
Clicking on it will bring up the playlist editor. The playlist editor allows you to add multiple media files from your computer, as well as embed external media from YouTube or Vimeo.
To add a local media file, simply click on the “Add Media” button. This will open the WordPress media uploader popup. You can then select and upload the desired audio or video file to your WordPress site.
Once the file has been uploaded, you need to click on the “Insert into post” button. The file will now be added to your playlist. Repeat this process for each media file that you want to add to the playlist.
If you want to add an external media file from YouTube or Vimeo, simply paste its URL into the “URL” field and click on the “Add to playlist” button.
You can rearrange the order of your playlist by dragging and dropping each item in place. Once you are satisfied with your playlist, click on the “Publish” button to save your changes and publish it live on your WordPress site.
