Inserting an audio or video playlist is almost identical to inserting an
image
gallery. Click the
Add Media button ("
). A pop-up
window will display that looks the same as the one that displays when you add
an image to your Page/Post. You can upload new media files to use in your
playlist or you can simply choose from your previously uploaded files.
By default, you’ll be shown a list of your
previously uploaded files. If you’d like to upload a new media file, click on
the Upload Files link at the top of the pop-up window.
To create an audio playlist,
click the Create Audio Playlist link
in the left-hand navigation. The pop-up window will display a list of your
audio files.
Alternatively, to create a
video playlist, click the Create Video
Playlist link in the left-hand navigation. The pop-up window will display a
list of your video files.
After selecting your media files, click the Create a new playlist button at the
bottom of the pop-up window. The window will change so that only the selected
media files are shown.
All the media files that appear will be used
within your playlist. To reorder the files simply click on a file and drag it
to its new position. You can change the title for each file by clicking the
text below each file and then typing in your new title. Alternatively, click
each file and then update the Title, Caption and Description on the right-hand side of the pop-up window.
If you decide you
no longer want a certain media file to appear in your playlist, click the small
‘-’ that appears in the top right corner of the file when you hover your cursor
over the ‘x’.
You can change how your
playlist appears in your page by selecting which items you’d like to appear.
