FW Real Estate – Documentation

The FWRE Video addon adds a video player to property detail pages. Each property supports one video, which can come from an embedded provider, a remote file URL, or a file uploaded directly to your server.

Adding a Video to a Property

When the addon is active, a Videos section appears in the Media tab of the property edit form. Choose one of three source methods to attach a video to the listing.

Video from Provider

Use this option to embed a video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or a similar platform.

• Video provider — select the hosting platform from the dropdown.
• Video ID — enter the video identifier taken from the provider URL. For example, a YouTube URL ending in watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ uses dQw4w9WgXcQ as the ID.

The provider's native embed player is used on the frontend, so playback controls and quality settings match what visitors expect from that platform.

Remote Video File

Use this option to link to a video file hosted on your own server or a CDN without uploading through WordPress.

• URL to video file — paste the direct URL to the video file.
• Cover image — optionally upload a JPG or PNG thumbnail shown as the player poster before playback starts.

Upload Video

Use this option to upload a video file directly. This suits agent-recorded clips or any footage you want to host locally.

• Video file — upload an MP4, FLV, or SWF file.
• Cover image — optionally upload a JPG or PNG thumbnail shown before playback begins.

Frontend Display

The video player appears on the property detail page. Provider videos use the platform's native embed player. Remote and uploaded files use an HTML5 player. When a cover image is set, it displays as the poster frame until the visitor starts playback. If no video has been added to a property, the video section is not shown at all on that listing's page.

Notes

• Only one video per property is supported.
• Accepted upload formats: MP4, FLV, SWF.
• Accepted cover image formats: JPG, PNG.
• Only one source method (provider, remote URL, or upload) is used per property.
