I need to add a video where the Testimonials go on the home page

I need to add a video where the Testimonials go on the home page. Is there an easy way to do that? So I just need to remove the testimonial and be able to put the standard WP code in that puts a video on to the page.

Anyone know how I could do that? Would I have to hire an outsourcer or is it fairly easy?

 

Hello,

Go to Appearance > Theme Option > Home Page Bottom Feature >Testimonial Description
and put your YouTube embed code there.
It will show the video in the home page, and you have to adjust the width and height of the video which you can adjust in the embed code of the video.

 

You mean use an iframe? That works, but we don't want to host the video on YouTube, so that isn't a solution we can use.

We are hosting the video on our own server, and we're using a special plugin that works fine on a page or a post, but won't work by just pasting into the Testimonial section. The plugin generates a shortcode that displays the video on the page, but also includes hidden video parameters like videolengthH="00" videolengthM="5", videolengthS="32", etc. I tried just pasting the shortcode in (like you could on a post or page) and what happens is the shortcode itself becomes visible on the home page. (The text for the shortcode shows up, instead of showing the video, like it's supposed to do).

I need to be able to use this plugin on the home page. How can we remove the code for the testimonial section, leaving the same space for us to put our video in, and use our plugin? This particular plugin is necessary because it passes parameters on to Google that is necessary for the video to show up on the results page of Google.

 

Hello,

For this open front-page.php and replace 'stripslashes' with the code given below

Code:

do_shortcode

Check image for reference.



After that add your shortcode in the theme options. It will work.

 

Well, it almost works...

1) Line 463 doesn't match your graphic. Instead it is "<h3><a href="#">Bring More Traffic To Website</a></h3>"
2) I found the exact line that matches your graphic (it's line 731), is that the only instance of "striplashes" I should replace with "do_shortcode"? Or should I replace all 37 instances of "striplashes" in the front-page.php file?

I replaced just the one instance of "striplashes" on line 731 with "do_shortcode", and the video appeared on the page like I wanted but there are still elements from the testimonial. Please see this image:

3) So, now how do I get rid of the following?

• "What Clients Say"
• the pink rectangle
• the line that says "Easy Advice..." is the title of the most recent blog--and that should not be there. How do I get rid of it?
• the 2nd pink rectangle with the pic of the fake author Nancy Simmons and her line with her name and that she's from Amazon.com (default stuff in the theme). I don't want any of that testimonial stuff there. How do I get rid of all of it and just have the video box?

All I want is the video box and title, which I specified in the plugin. I don't want all the other stuff, left over from the testimonial.

 

Hello,

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

.feature_testimonial p, .feature_testimonial .testimonial_author {
display: none;
}

 

We are getting closer! But it is still showing the title of the most recent blog, right under the video.
How do I get rid of that most recent blog title, showing up right under the video?


I don't want to get rid of the titles of all the blogs, just the duplicate title that shows up right below the video.
How can I do that?

Hi,

Just a quick question. You mentioned that you are using a special plugin that works fine on page or post. I am also looking for such a plugin that can play videos on my webpages. Could you please email me the name of the plugin. My email id is [email protected]. I will really appreciate your help.
