Modules

Check out the demo page here.

WPD Optimised Video Embeds

New with 2.0.0 <

Now you have the ability to make a button appear above or below your videos after a certain number of seconds.

—

A small module to let you embed YouTube or Vimeo videos into your site without the bloat that comes with the regular iframe method.

Read this post for details on how much it can increase your website speed substantially.

Features:

• You are able to add your own icon, colour and responsive size for the play button using the Beaver Builder icon library
• Specify parameters for the video (eg. rel=0 so you don’t show related videos at the end)
• Add a thumbnail overlay
• Add a thumbnail CSS filter (sepia, grayscale, invert)
• DNS pre-fetching using resource hints
• Define your own aspect ratio for a perfect fit (to prevent black borders at the top/bottom/left/right)

Based on David Waumsley’s findings.

WPD Static Map Embed

A lot of people don’t like to use an embedded website map for directions to a business.

They often prefer the full Google Maps interface, particularly on mobile where they can use the Google Maps app as it’s much less fiddly than maps embedded on a website.

Not only that, but a lot of scripts are downloaded with embedded maps, which can slow down your website.

This module uses the Google Static Maps API to display a static Google Map image on your site, that links to your location on a full Google Map. Desktop users will see the map in a new window, and mobile users will see it in the Google Maps app, if they have it installed.

Now with the ability to style the map using SnazzyMaps and MapStylr

See the corresponding blog post for more details

How do I match the heights of modules?

In 2.0.3, you can match the heights of modules (useful if you have uneven blocks of text with call to actions below) by:

1) Opening each module’s settings
2) Heading to the ‘advanced’ tab
3) Adding the same name to “Match height group”

How do I white-label WPD BB Additions?

You are able to change the values of:

• Plugin Name
• Plugin Description
• Plugin Author
• Plugin Author Website

You can do this by adding something similar to your functions.php file in your theme:

add_filter( 'wpd/bb-additions/config', function( $config ) { $config->plugin_menu_name = 'My Plugin'; $config->plugin_description = 'My Plugin Description'; $config->plugin_author = 'My Name'; $config->plugin_author_uri = 'My Website'; return $config; }, 10, 1 ); 

How do I set a custom thumbnail for optimised videos

In version 1.9+ you have the option to choose ‘custom thumbnail’ within the settings of an Optimised Video module. You’ll then be able to upload a thumbnail using a photo field.

How do I set my own aspect ratio for an embedded optimised video?

In version 1.5+, you can simply add or edit a WPD Optimised Video and then choose ‘Custom’ under ‘Aspect Ratio’. You will then see 2 fields for width and height. If you have a 4:3 aspect ratio, use ‘4’ in width and ‘3’ in height. The default is 16:9.

How do I add a WPD animation into a Beaver Builder module?

New animations are simply added to a module in exactly the same was as usual. In the Beaver Builder editor, edit a module, head to the Advanced tab, and then choose an animation from the animation dropdown field.

How do I enable the ‘fade on scroll’ effects on a row?

Simply edit your row, and check the ‘WPD’ tab for this setting.

How do I enable the ‘polaroid photo’ effect on a photo module?

Simply add/edit a photo module, and check the ‘WPD’ tab for this setting.

How do I override the CSS for the polaroid photo effect?

You can either:

• Add a file in your theme: theme-name/wpd-bb-additions/enhancements/polaroid-photo/css/style.css and it’ll automatically overwrite.
• Using the wpd_bb_enhancements_polaroid_photo_css_file filter to specify your own path
