Add videos to your gallery

Once you’ve uploaded images to your gallery, all you have to do is embed videos. How? With Modula, you can easily add videos to your WordPress page and create a YouTube video gallery as well as a Vimeo video gallery. You can even upload your own videos to your WordPress media library.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to embed YouTube videos into your Modula gallery. If you hover your mouse cursor over every image, there will appear three icons: pencil (to edit the image’s metadata), reverse (to replace your image file), and trash (to delete image files). Click on the pencil icon to edit your image.

Here, Modula lets you assign to your image a title, caption, alt text, EXIF data, and so on. You can also choose to filter your WordPress video portfolio by category!

If you want to embed a YouTube video, paste the link into the Video URL box, and then click Save/Save & Close.

You can follow the same steps to embed Vimeo videos in your Modula gallery. There’s more. Modula PRO comes with a Video Extension intended to make your WordPress video portfolio more engaging.
