Showcase shoppable videos in an Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts style. Add YouTube or self-hosted videos, tag products, and display them anywhere.

== Description ==

**Vidreelo** lets you add short, vertical videos to your WordPress site and play them in a beautiful **Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts–style** full-screen player. Visitors browse a carousel or grid of vertical thumbnails, tap one, and swipe up and down through your videos, just like a social feed.

Each reel can use a **YouTube video** or a **self-hosted MP4**, and you can **tag products** on it (WooCommerce products or manual products) so a "Shop" card appears right on the video. It is perfect for shoppable video, product demos, testimonials, tutorials, and social-style content.

= Key Features =

* **One simple shortcode** — `[vidreelo]` shows all your reels.
* **YouTube or self-hosted videos** — choose the source per reel; only the field you need is shown.
* **Auto-play in the grid** — both self-hosted and YouTube reels play muted as they scroll into view.
* **Instagram Reels–style player** — full-screen vertical player with swipe up/down between videos, mute, and play/pause.
* **Shoppable** — tag WooCommerce products (automatic image, title, price, sale price and rating) or manual products (title, price, compare price, image and link). The product shows under the reel and as a "Shop" card in the player.
* **Carousel or grid** layout, columns per device, and accent color.
* **Widget** — drop reels into any widget or block area, no shortcode needed.
* **Lightweight & self-contained** — no external libraries or CDNs, fully responsive, works with any theme.

= How to use =

1. Go to **Video Reels → Add New Reel**.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from **Plugins → Add New**.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I add a video? =

Go to **Video Reels → Add New Reel**, choose **YouTube** or **Self-hosted**, add the video, set a Featured Image, and Publish.

= How do I show reels on a page? =

Add `[vidreelo]` — it shows all your reels. Optional attributes: `layout` (carousel or grid), `columns`, `accent` (hex color), and `ids` to limit to specific reels.

= How do I tag products on a video? =

In the reel editor, open **Tagged Products** and add a WooCommerce product (searchable) or a manual product (title, price, image, link). A "Shop" card appears on the reel in the player.

= Do I need WooCommerce? =

No. WooCommerce is optional; it only enables the product picker. You can always add manual products without it.

= Does it load any external libraries? =

No. The player is fully self-contained, with no third-party CDNs. YouTube reels are embedded through the official youtube-nocookie.com embed only when an admin adds a YouTube URL.
