How to add videos to the WordPress page
The best part about Modula is that gallery creation takes 2 minutes or less – it depends on how animated you want your galleries to be.
But before we start creating our video gallery, you will need to install Modula.
Install and activate Modula
Right now, I’ll show you how to install and activate a freemium WordPress plugin. So, go to your WordPress dashboard, look for the Plugins icon, and click Add New.
In the search bar in the upper right corner, type Modula. Once you find the plugin, press Install Now.
Just wait a couple of minutes and then click on Activate. The Modula plugin will pop up in your WordPress menu.
Create an image gallery
From now on, every time you want to create a gallery using this WordPress gallery plugin, go to the Modula icon and click Add New.
Then, you can name your gallery and start uploading files. You can also drag and drop your images and organize them as you please.
Add videos to your gallery
With Modula, you can upload your own videos or embed Youtube, and Vimeo videos to your gallery.
If you hover your cursor over every image, you will see three icons: pencil, replace, and trash. Click on the pencil icon to edit your image.
In this section, you can assign to your image a title, caption, alt text, EXIF data, filters, and so on. If you want to embed a YouTube video, paste the link into the Video URL box, and then click Save and Save & Close.
To add Vimeo videos to your gallery, you can follow the same process. As I said before if you want to take advantage of more robust features, upgrade Modula to the premium version.
Choose a gallery grid type
Modula provides 6 gallery types: creative, custom, slider, video, BnB, and masonry. For our tutorial, I am going to use the custom grid gallery to resize my images controlling their heights, widths, and aspect ratio.
Add more customizations
Modula Lite (the free version) provides powerful features for your galleries: image loading effects, filterable galleries, hover effects, galleries with thumbnails, social icons, etc.
However, if you choose to upgrade Modula, you will benefit from more features: Video extension, Zoom on hover, Speed Up extension, Albums extension, Modula Defaults (to create gallery defaults), password-protected galleries, add user roles, and much more.
Save and add the video gallery to your WordPress page
Once you try all of Modula’s functionalities, all you have to do now is to click Save Gallery.
You will see that Modula has generated a shortcode with our ice skating gallery on the right of the page. Copy the link and paste it into a page or a post.
Final thoughts
And this is how you do it. With Modula, you can add as many videos as you want to your WordPress page and create beautiful galleries to impress your website visitors.
