How To Add Videos To a Slider

This tutorial shows beginners one of the easiest ways to add videos to a slider.

In this example, we’ll be using the newest version of Easing Slider developed by Matthew Ruddy.

The latest version of the Easing slider plugin is available for download from the official WordPress plugins directory.

You won’t need to purchase the Easing Slider plugin however you will need to purchase the video extension – Includes Demo.

Extensions are subject to yearly license for support and updates.

Lets take a look at how to add Youtube Videos to the slider.

Adding Videos To Slider

After you activate the plugin and add a new slider, simply click the blue Add Slides button and you’ll see the following screen popup.

video url

  1. 1st click the video from url link located at the top left of the screen
  2. 2nd step is to paste the video URL and click Insert into Slider. If you’re using Youtube videos, simply click the share link under the Youtube video and copy the video URL.

That’s all there is to it.

You can use the shortcode to display the slider or a custom function ( more efficient ) with any WordPress or theme specific hook.

Simply replace the slider I.D (12345) in the following code.

add_action( 'loop_start', 'slider' );
function slider() {
if ( function_exists( 'easingslider' ) ) {
	easingslider(12345); 
}}
