 2. Click the “+” button to add a new block
 3. Search for “Dailymotion” and select the Dailymotion block
 4. Click the “Search Videos” button in the block
 5. Search for a video by title, or browse your videos/playlists

 3. Search for a video by title, or browse your videos/playlists
 4. Select the video you want to embed

**Using Shortcodes**

You can manually embed Dailymotion videos using the `[dm-player]` shortcode:

    ```
    `
    ```

[dm-player videoid=”VIDEO_ID” videotitle=”Video Title”]
 `

Shortcode attributes:
 – `videoid`: The ID of the public Dailymotion video – `privatevideoid`:
The ID of a private Dailymotion video – `playlistid`: The ID of a Dailymotion playlist–`
videotitle`: The title of the video (displayed as caption)

Example:
 `[dm-player videoid="x7zxy9p" videotitle="My Awesome Video"]`

#### Configuration

**Per-post Video Settings**

You can customize video settings on a per-post basis:

 1. Edit a post/page that contains a Dailymotion video
 2. Click the “Video Settings” button in the sidebar of the Gutenberg editor
 3. Adjust settings like Player ID, Mute, Video Heading, and Video Title

**Global Plugin Settings**

To configure global plugin settings:

 1. Go to Dailymotion Pro > Plugin Settings in your WordPress admin
 2. Adjust default settings for Player ID, mute, video heading, and video title display

#### Auth Key

**What is the Auth Key?**

The Auth Key is a security feature in the Dailymotion Pro plugin that protects your
Dailymotion account credentials. Think of it as a special password that encrypts
your sensitive information when it’s stored in your WordPress database.

**Why is it Important?**

When you connect your WordPress site to Dailymotion, you need to store API credentials(
similar to a username and password). The Auth Key ensures this information is securely
encrypted, preventing unauthorized access to your Dailymotion account.

**How it Works for Users**

Automatic Protection

By default, the Dailymotion Pro plugin uses WordPress’s built-in security keys to
protect your information. This means:

 * You don’t need to do anything special to enable basic protection
 * Your credentials are automatically encrypted when saved
 * The plugin handles all the security details behind the scenes

Enhanced Security (Optional)

For users who want extra security, you can set up custom security keys:

 1. **Generate secure random keys**: Use an online secure key generator
 2. **Add the keys to your wp-config.php file**: Add the following lines near the other
    WordPress security keys:
 3. `php
     define('DM_PRO__AUTH_KEY', 'your-custom-random-key-here'); define('DM_PRO__NONCE_KEY','
    another-custom-random-key-here');
 4. **Save the file**: Make sure to keep a backup of these keys in a secure location

**Best Practices**

 * **Use unique keys**: Don’t reuse passwords or keys from other services
 * **Keep your wp-config.php secure**: Restrict access to this file on your server
 * **Update keys periodically**: Consider changing your custom keys every few months
   for maximum security
 * **Backup before making changes**: Always backup your site before editing configuration
   files

### External Service

This plugin connects to the **Dailymotion API** as an external service. The API 
is used for:

 * **Searching videos**: Search for both public and private content hosted on Dailymotion.
 * **Private content access**: To access private videos, the plugin requires storing
   an API Key and API Secret securely in your WordPress installation.
 * **Video information retrieval**: The API also provides video metadata (title,
   thumbnail, etc.) which is used to embed videos seamlessly into the WordPress 
   editor.

By using this plugin, you acknowledge that interactions with the Dailymotion API
are subject to Dailymotion’s own policies and service conditions.
