Embedding TikTok video feed

If you wish all of your latest TikTok videos to be visible on your website, you will need to use a TikTok plugin.

You would need first need to install QuadLayers TikTok Feed plugin.

After activating it, click on TikTok Feed – Feeds. You will notice that the plugin has automatically added a feed with the help of the WordPress hashtag. Click on the +Feed button in order to add your TikTok feed.

A popup will show up, where you have the option to create a TikTok video feed by using a TikTok username or a HashTag.

The videos can be displayed in portrait mode, or you can choose the Gallery style – square thumbnails.

In our example, we have made the settings to display videos from a hashtag, meaning all videos with the #WordPress hashtag will be displayed in your feed.

Once the settings are to your taste, Save the changes and the new feed will be visible along with a shortcode.

You need to copy the shortcode and paste it into the post or page of your liking. Go back to the page you want to display the video and start editing. Click on the + icon, in the search bar type in shortcode and select the widget.

Now, paste the shortcode into the post and save the changes.

Now visit your page on the website and will notice that the gallery has been added, as well as the View on TikTok button, taking you to the #WordPress tag feed.

If you wish to remove that option, simply go back to the page on Edit mode, choose the Button tab and uncheck the TikTok button.

You can also enable/disable the Popup options anytime someone clicks on a thumbnail in the gallery.

If the option is left checked, every time a user clicks on a video, it will show them a popup of the video and not opening it in a separate new link, taking the user away from your website.

If you go to the video tab, you can make changes to your feed by preventing autoplay upon click, removing the video controls, or increasing the video space.
