Duplicate Videos

I keep running into an issue, every time I link a URL to a video the video comes up in the blog post opposed to it just being a link. There are times where the video shows up multiple times. I only want to reference it by having a link open up in another window. How do I make sure the videos itself don’t play in the post and only be a link?

Thanks

Hi, this is a function of the theme. If you want to link to a video in another page, you have to edit the HTML of the link and add a class: qw-disableembedding

<a href="http://youtube......" class="qw-disableembedding">Watch Video</a>

Ok, what about when I put a html code in a post on the html side to show a ad. The ad isn’t displaying? Should we put codes for ads somewhere else? Or, is there something we need to do when adding it? Thanks

You are not supposed to add raw HTML or JS in the pages as this is dangerous and WordPress deletes it on saving. Is a standard security WP filter.
The best way is to find a plugin to add ADS via shortcodes, there are thousands, premium and free, and they support the most wide variety of platfoel (adWords, doubleclick and so on). This will require you some testing to find the one you like more.

Thank you for sharing that. I did not know that.

Glad to help 😉 That’s a very good thing to know for your next projects and usage. I’m closing this topic as I assume is solved.
