Video Shortcode preview in visual front-end wp_editor

  • When you insert an uploaded video through the back-end editor, (Using “Add Media” button), it is seen as a [video] shortcode in the Text mode, but as a normal video tag in the Visual mode.

    However, this is not the case when inserting a video in the front-end editor that was created using the wp_editor function. Images get inserted just like in back-end, but videos are shown as [video] shortcodes in both Visual and Text modes. It seems that there is some Text-Visual shortcode conversion script missing in the front-end editor.

    Any solution to this?

  • Hey Promaty. Im having the exact same issue right now. I have managed to get the front end wp_editor to render shortcodes, but when I try using audio/video shortcodes or straight audio/video urls, it doesnt render the player like it does on the admin side.

    I dont have an answer im afraid, but was wondering if you managed to figure it out?

    No not yet. Programming in wp_editor seems to be one of the most complicated parts of WordPress, so I’m still hoping for an expert to reply to this…

    Can you show the code you are using to create the editor in the front end?

    @wpismypuppet, I’m testing on a completely fresh installation, just putting:
    <?php wp_editor('test','test') ?>

    in header.php of twentysixteen theme. This is clearly not implemented, so I’m wondering what kind of script is missing and can I reuse the same one from the back end.

    Hey Promaty, I think not all the editor scripts are loaded in frontend…
    try to use this

    
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'frontend_editor_scripts' );
function frontend_editor_scripts() {
	/*Media Scripts*/
    wp_enqueue_media();
    /*Editor View*/
    wp_enqueue_script('mce-view');

}
