How to insert a video in the header widget of VORTEX - Russell H. - 08-18-2014 09:38 PM
Here are the very simple steps to inserting a video in the header widget of Vortex.
1) Go to wp-admin/appearance/widgets and place an empty text widget into the Header widget panel on the right.
You should keep the height of the video (h) at 200px or less,.. you could go higher but it can rob you of page real estate because the expands the height of the entire header. Then paste in your video embed code.
Just by placing this widget you will see the video appear instead of CTA arrow when you refresh page.
NOTE: If you perform the above action and place the video into the default Header widget then it will override the CTA arrow/box on all pages that display the CTA arrow/box. If you wish the video to only show on specific pages then you should paste it into one of the 15 "Custom Sidebar" widgets and then assign that widget to the "header widget" checkbox in the Vortex Page Options in the page editor for the page you're working on.
2) You will notice that the menu nav tabs have now lifted up high under the header text and thats because the text header styling is preset to 70px high. To remedy this you should create a graphic header of 200px high and insert it via the control panel in the "header" tab.
That's about all there is to the process but if you get stuck or have questions just leave a reply on this thread.
