How to Show Product Videos Instead of Images on WooCommerce?

If you want to display a product video instead of the usual featured image on a WooCommerce single product page, you're not alone—especially if you're accepting user-submitted products from the frontend. The default WooCommerce setup doesn’t support video in the product gallery out of the box, and it restricts file types like MP4. So, you’ll need to make a few custom adjustments or use the right plugin.

You can allow MP4 uploads by adding a simple code snippet using the upload_mimes filter. Then, once the user uploads a video through your frontend form, save the file URL in the product meta (e.g., _custom_product_video). Finally, override WooCommerce’s default image output using hooks like woocommerce_before_single_product_summary, and display the video using an HTML5 <video> tag if a video URL exists.

But if you’d rather skip all that custom code and want something ready to go, check out the Product Video Gallery for WooCommerce plugin by FMEAddons. It lets you upload self-hosted videos (like MP4s) directly to your Media Library and display them in the product gallery or even in place of the featured image. No YouTube or Vimeo required. It’s simple, clean, and works well with user-generated products too.

Autofill Address: A Quick Guide for Tumblr Readers

Why Autofill Matters Filling out a long address can feel like a chore. Typing street names, suburbs, and postcodes eats up time. Autofill solves this by suggesting your saved address as soon as you start typing. One click, and the form is complete. It’s like having a personal assistant for typing.

How Autofill Works Web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari remember your address details when you first enter them. Next time you see an address field—on Tumblr’s contact form or any other site—the browser drops down suggestions. Pick your address. The browser automatically fills in every required line (street, city, state, postcode). No more mistakes from typos or missing parts.

Setting Up Autofill in Your Browser

Google Chrome

Click the three dots (⋮) in the top right.

Go to Settings → Autofill → Addresses and more.

Click “Add” and type your full address.

Next time you start typing, Chrome will suggest it.

Mozilla Firefox

Click the three bars (≡) in the top right → Settings.

Select “Privacy & Security” → Forms & Autofill.

Click “Saved Addresses…” → Add a new address.

Firefox will then offer it when you fill out a form.

Safari (macOS)

Open Safari → Preferences → Autofill.

Check “Using information from my contacts.”

Make sure your own contact card has the correct address.

When you type in a form, Safari pulls from your contact card.

Benefits for Tumblr Users

Faster Contact Forms If you use Tumblr’s “Ask” or any custom form, autofill cuts the time you spend typing. Instead of wrestling with the cursor, you tap a suggestion and move on.

Fewer Typos Human error is a fact of life. A quick typo can send packages to the wrong house or stall a delivery. Autofill ensures your saved address is perfect every time.

Better Mobile Experience Typing on a phone keyboard is slower and more prone to mistakes. Autofill on mobile swoops in to save the day with one-tap suggestions.

A Tiny Anecdote I once spent ten minutes typing my parent’s holiday home address on a phone—switching between letters, numbers, and special characters. By the time I finished, I almost needed a coffee break. After I set up autofill, it took just one tap. Instant coffee, instant joy.

Tips to Keep in Mind

Update Regularly Move houses? Change suburbs? Open your browser’s autofill settings and edit your address. This way, you avoid sending cookies (or actual letters) to an old place.

Security First Don’t save your address on a public computer or a device you share. Keep it only on your personal phone, tablet, or laptop to avoid misuse.

Multiple Addresses You can save work, home, and holiday spots. Just add each one with a clear label. When you start typing, the right suggestion appears.

Wrapping Up Autofill address is a tiny feature with big impact. It turns a mundane task—typing long addresses—into a single click. Whether you’re filling out a form on Tumblr, shopping online, or entering your details into a newsletter sign-up, autofill makes life easier. Take two minutes to set it up. Your future self will thank you.
