It is designed to avoid layout and control issues that often occur in narrow sidebar containers.<\/p>\n\n<p>Key principles:\n* One YouTube URL input\n* Always-on lazy loading for performance\n* Clean caption support\n* Context-aware behavior for posts and sidebars\n* No unnecessary styling or autoplay features<\/p>\n\n<p>Tubelastica does not add visual styling controls or advanced playback options. Layout and appearance are handled naturally by the active theme.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How to Use<\/h3>\n\n<p>After activating the plugin:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the WordPress block editor (post, page, or widget area)<\/li>\n<li>Click the Add Block (+) button<\/li>\n<li>Search for Tubelastica<\/li>\n<li>Insert the Tubelastica block<\/li>\n<li>Paste a YouTube video URL<\/li>\n<li>Optionally add a caption<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Playing videos in posts and sidebars:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Post and page content:\nVideos are embedded and play inline as normal YouTube videos.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Sidebar widget areas:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>If the link field is empty, the video plays inside the sidebar.<\/li>\n<li>If a link is entered, clicking the video opens that link instead of playing the video.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This design helps avoid layout and control issues in narrow sidebar areas while giving users full control over video behavior.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Embed a single YouTube video using a block<\/li>\n<li>Lazy loading enabled by default<\/li>\n<li>Optional caption text<\/li>\n<li>Width control in post and page content<\/li>\n<li>Sidebar-friendly behavior to prevent layout issues<\/li>\n<li>Works with block-based widget areas<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight and fast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the tubelastica folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/ directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Add the Tubelastica block in the block editor or widget editor<\/li>\n<li>Paste a YouTube URL and optional caption<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20tubelastica%20support%20sidebars%3F\"><h3>Does Tubelastica support sidebars?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
