### DEVELOPER OPTIONS

The videos (aiovg_videos) belong to a WordPress Custom Post Type. Similarly, the categories (aiovg_categories) and tags (aiovg_tags) belong to the WordPress Custom Taxonomy. The plugin doesn't use any custom tables and the settings are stored in the WP_Options table using the WordPress SETTINGS API. In short, the plugin has been developed completely using the WordPress CORE features. So, if you're a WordPress developer, you can customize/extend the plugin as you like using the WordPress hooks system easily.

Similarly, the front-end gallery layouts added by our plugin can be customized by developing or overriding our existing templates. Please [check for a detailed documentation](https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/child-themes-and-templates/) on this.

= 2. Can I show my videos in a popup, slider, playlist, or something more engaging? =
Yes, you can. Kindly refer to the instructions below,

5. [Compact](https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/compact/)

= 3. Can I upload large video files using this plugin? =
Sure, the plugin doesn't apply any restriction on the uploaded file size. If you're not able to upload large files, then it must be your server configuration that is not suitable for large file uploads. Simply write to your HOST and ask them to increase the upload file size limit.

= 4. Does the plugin support third-party page builders like "Elementor", "WPBakery", "Divi", etc.? =
Yes. Simply, generate your shortcode using the plugin's "Shortcode Builder" and add it to your favorite page builder.

= 5. Does this plugin work with the Gutenberg block editor? =
Yes. All-in-One Video Gallery includes native Gutenberg blocks for video galleries, single video players, video categories, and the search form. You can build your gallery layout directly inside the block editor without writing any shortcode.

= 6. Is the plugin compatible with WordPress Multisite? =
Yes, it is. However, do not "network-activate" the plugin. Activate it only on the subsites on which you need the gallery. This can be done under "Plugins => Add New" as the Administrator user.

= 7. The download button in the plugin is not working. =
The download option works only on the "Self Hosted / External URL" source type. Even if the video is self-hosted, the video file must be publicly accessible to download. So, make sure that your file is publicly accessible.

Also, the videos from third-party services like "YouTube", "Vimeo", "Dailymotion", or "Rumble" cannot be downloaded.

= 8. How do I embed a YouTube playlist or channel in WordPress? =
You can embed individual YouTube videos using the plugin's video editor — paste the YouTube URL and the plugin handles the rest. For automatic YouTube channel or playlist imports (fetching new videos on a schedule), upgrade to the Premium version which includes the Video Automations feature.

= 9. Does this plugin support HLS or MPEG-DASH adaptive streaming? =
Yes. The built-in HTML5 video player supports HLS (`.m3u8`) and MPEG-DASH (`.mpd`) streams in addition to standard MP4, WebM, and OGV files. Simply paste your streaming URL as the video source.

= 10. Can I restrict videos so only logged-in users can watch them? =
Yes. The plugin includes a video access control system that lets you restrict videos globally or per video. You can allow all visitors, logged-in users only, logged-out users only, or specific user roles. A trailer/teaser clip can also be shown to users who do not have access.

= 11. Does this plugin support subtitles and closed captions? =
Yes. You can upload WebVTT (`.vtt`) subtitle tracks for your self-hosted videos and configure the default language. Multiple subtitle tracks are supported on a single video.
