  • First, make sure you are using a child theme, so that changes you made will not disappear when parent theme is updated
  • Using one of these two hooks to add custom content to the right metadata area of video.
    do_action('videopro-singlevideo-meta-right-before');
    do_action('videopro-singlevideo-meta-right-after');

    Below is the sample code (add them to childtheme/functions.php file)

    /**
    * Add Trailer Button for each video
    */
    add_action('videopro-singlevideo-meta-right-before', 'videopro_singlevideo_right_meta_trailer_button');
    function videopro_singlevideo_right_meta_trailer_button(){
    global $post;
    $url = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'trailer_link', true);if(isset($url) && $url != ''){
    echo '<a href="' . $url . '" target="_blank" class="btn btn-default ct-gradient bt-action metadata-font font-size-1"><span>' . wp_kses(__('<i class="fa fa-caret-square-o-right"></i> View Trailer', 'videopro'),array('i'=>array('class'=>array()))) . '</span></a>';
    }
    }
