WP-Paginate 2.1.5 & WP-Paginate Pro 2.1.5

  • Updated jQuery functions for WordPress 5.7
New! Shortcode and Shortcode Generator for MLFP!
Media Library Folders Pro now includes a shortcode and a shortcode generator for embedding PDF files, audio files and video files into a WordPress page or post. This works for mpeg, mp3, ogg and wav audio file types and mp4, webm and ogg video file types.

Here’s how it works:

On the Media Library Folders Pro page, navigate to a folder containing an audio file. Select one file and then click the Embed Shortcode button. 

This will display the Embed PDF/Audio/Video Shortcode Generator. Choose your desired options and click the Generate Shortcode button to create the shortcode, and click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the shortcode text.

In the WordPress editor, open a custom HTML block and paste in the shortcode. You’ll notice that div tags have already been added at the beginning and the end of the shortcode.

Let’s also generate a shortcode to display a PDF file. Set the width and the height for the embedded PDF file. Generate it, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into the editor as before.

Now let’s publish and view the page.

Done! Now you can easily insert PDF, audio and video files into your posts and pages. If you’re still using the free version of Media Library Folders, here’s just one more excellent reason to upgrade to the pro version.

You can update confidently, directly through your WordPress Dashboard under plugins. If an update is not available you’ll need to log in to your MaxGalleria account, renew any licenses where required and then recheck for the update in WordPress.
