Embed a Playlist ​

Once you have created a playlist, you can show it on any post or page using a shortcode or a Gutenberg block. The process is very similar to embedding a single video.

Pro feature

Embedding playlists requires FluentPlayer Pro.

Option 1: Shortcode ​

Add this shortcode to any post or page:

[fluentplaylist id="10"]

Replace 10 with your playlist ID. The playlist will appear where you placed the shortcode.

Where to find the playlist ID ​

  • In FluentPlayer → Playlists, the ID appears next to each playlist (for example, #10).
  • When editing a playlist, check the browser URL.

Embed Playlist

Step by Step ​

In the Classic Editor:

  1. Edit a post or page.
  2. Type [fluentplaylist id="10"] where you want the playlist.
  3. Publish or update.

In the Block Editor (Gutenberg):

  1. Add a Shortcode block.
  2. Type [fluentplaylist id="10"].
  3. Publish or update.

In a theme template (PHP):

php
<?php echo do_shortcode('[fluentplaylist id="10"]'); ?>

Option 2: Gutenberg block ​

  1. Edit a post or page in the block editor.
  2. Click the + button to add a block.
  3. Search for "FluentPlayer Playlist" or "playlist".
  4. Select the block and choose your playlist from the dropdown (or enter the ID).
  5. Publish or update.

The block shows a preview in the editor and renders the same output as the shortcode on the front end.

Embed Playlist

What the Front End Looks Like ​

Depending on the layout you chose for the playlist:

  • Standard — A player with a video list on the side.
  • Grid — A multi-column video grid.

The playlist loads all the media items you added, in the order you set. Viewers can click between videos, and the player handles transitions smoothly.

Common Questions ​

Can I put multiple playlists on the same page?

Yes. Use separate shortcodes or blocks:

[fluentplaylist id="10"]

[fluentplaylist id="15"]

What happens if I update the playlist later?

Changes are immediate. If you add or remove a video from the playlist, every page that embeds it will show the updated list.

Can I embed a playlist in a widget?

Yes, as long as the widget supports shortcodes. Use [fluentplaylist id="10"] in a Text or Custom HTML widget.
