VertiFeed adds two Gutenberg blocks for creating vertical swipe video galleries on your WordPress site.
VertiFeed Gallery — A container block that displays videos as a responsive gallery grid of poster thumbnails. Clicking a thumbnail opens a fullscreen overlay with a vertical swipe video player.
VertiFeed Video — A child block for adding individual videos from the Media Library.
Features
- Responsive gallery grid of poster thumbnails (no autoplay on the page)
- Fullscreen overlay player opens on click, starting at the chosen video
- Vertical swipe, scroll, and keyboard navigation; close with Esc or the X button
- Self-hosted videos from the WordPress Media Library
- Muted autoplay inside the overlay with tap-to-play/pause
- Optional captions overlay per video
- Configurable columns, gap, aspect ratio, loop, progress bar, and mute toggle
- Built with the WordPress Interactivity API and block.json
