Gutenberg WordPress 6+ Optimized​

Posts, custom posts includes a portfolio as well and pages allow you to add as much text as needed and of course format the content with the new Gutenberg WordPress Editor. All Gutenberg blocks are supported and they were carefully optimized so that the admin backend will appear visually almost the same as the front page or post with minor differences, this way it is very easy to write a post or a page. We also added very useful shortcodes some built in and some via custom plugins that will add missing pieces to the Gutenberg editor.

It only requires the mp4 / mp3 format (the best and most used formats on the web) and it will work on mobile devices and desktop machines no matter which browser is used, this is made possible by incorporating multiple video engines in a really smart way inside the video player logic. Ultimate Video Player supports unlimited playlists and each playlist can have unlimited videos. The playlists can be loaded from a simple HTML markup, XML file, mixed playlist (Vimeo | Vimeo pro | youtube | HTML5 video/audio), video folder (mp4 files), audio folder (mp3 files), youtube playlist, or youtube channel, Vimeo playlist or Vimeo album, some examples below:
