You can use it to embed all sorts of videos into your WordPress website including video content from a video hosting service (like YouTube or Vimeo).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/?attachment_id=9022\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9022\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9022\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WordPress-video-gallery-preview.gif?resize=610%2C343\" alt=\"How to Create a WordPress Video Gallery\" width=\"610\" height=\"343\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The videos you add to the table layout will automatically play in a video player so your site\u2019s visitors don\u2019t have to click through to individual pages. In addition to this, visitors will be able to search, sort, and filter the video gallery listing to quickly find the video they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<h4>Step #1: Decide how you\u2019ll store the videos on your website<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/?attachment_id=9020\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9020\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9020\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/posts-table-pro.png?resize=610%2C358\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/posts-table-pro.png?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/posts-table-pro.png?resize=150%2C88&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/posts-table-pro.png?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/posts-table-pro.png?resize=768%2C451&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Start off by <a href=\"https:\/\/barn2.co.uk\/wordpress-plugins\/posts-table-pro\/\">getting the Posts Table Pro plugin<\/a> and installing it on your WordPress website. Once that\u2019s done, activate the plugin\u2019s license key.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll need to decide how you\u2019ll be storing the videos in the back-end. Since the Posts Table Pro plugins works by displaying WordPress posts \u2013 either standard posts, pages, or custom posts \u2013 you\u2019ll need to add each video to one of these post types.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/barn2.co.uk\/wordpress-video-gallery\/\">complete tutorial<\/a> for in-depth instructions on how to decide which post type is right for your specific needs and how to add videos to the gallery accordingly. You can either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Embed videos from a video hosting service<\/li>\n<li>Upload the video directly to your WordPress Media Library<\/li>\n<li>Create a video playlist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Step #2: Enter additional information about each video<\/h4>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve added videos to the gallery, you can choose to enter any additional information that you\u2019d like to display about each video on the front-end.<\/p>\n<p>You might assign each video a category and tag, add a description, and enter the video length. Of course, this depends on the type of site you\u2019re running. For example, if you sell online courses, you might choose to add a Buy Now! button for each video.<\/p>\n<h4>Step #3: Add your WordPress video gallery to a page or post<\/h4>\n<p>Now that your videos are ready to go, all that\u2019s left to do is add them to your site\u2019s front-end. You can choose to add your WordPress video gallery to any post, page, or text widget.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is add the following shortcode to the main content area:<\/p>\n<p>[posts_table post_type=&#8221;video&#8221; shortcodes=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If you added videos to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pages:<\/strong> Replace &#8216;video&#8217; in post_type=&#8221;video&#8221; with &#8216;page&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom post types:<\/strong> Replace &#8216;video&#8217; in post_type=&#8221;video&#8221; with the slug for your custom post type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it! Preview the post or page on your site\u2019s front-end. It should look something like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/?attachment_id=9021\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9021\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9021\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ptp-video-gallery.png?resize=610%2C549\" alt=\"How to Create a WordPress Video Gallery\" width=\"610\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ptp-video-gallery.png?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ptp-video-gallery.png?resize=150%2C135&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ptp-video-gallery.png?resize=300%2C270&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evolutionarydesigns.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ptp-video-gallery.png?resize=768%2C691&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can customize the look and feel of the table layout, choose which columns to show or hide, and which table options to enable by going into Post Table Pro\u2019s settings page.<\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p>Posts Table Pro makes it incredibly easy to create a responsive WordPress video gallery.
