DawsonyWeb – Client Tutorial Videos
Manage Tutorials settings page with the repeater-style tutorial list and drag-to-reorder handles.
Client Tutorial Videos makes it easy to provide video tutorials to your clients right inside their WordPress dashboard. Upload videos to the media library or paste YouTube/Vimeo URLs, add them through a simple repeater interface, and your clients will always know where to find help.
Features
- Repeatable tutorial blocks — Add as many tutorials as you need, each with a title, description, and video.
- Searchable library – Find tutorials by title or description without reloading the page.
- Click-to-load players – Viewers choose when to connect to an external video provider.
- Dashboard widget — A compact tutorial list appears on the WordPress dashboard for quick access.
- Dedicated tutorial page — A full admin page with video players and descriptions so clients can watch without leaving wp-admin.
- Role-based visibility — Control which user roles can see the tutorials page and widget.
- Drag-and-drop ordering — Reorder tutorials with a simple drag handle.
- Media library integration — Select videos directly from the WordPress media library.
- YouTube and Vimeo links — Paste a hosted video URL instead of uploading a file.
Use Cases
- Agencies providing training materials to clients after site launch.
- Freelancers who build sites and need to leave behind how-to guides.
- In-house teams onboarding new editors or content managers.
Philosophy
- No front-end output or performance impact — everything runs in wp-admin only.
- No plugin telemetry. Hosted videos connect to their provider only when the viewer chooses to load or open one.
- All inputs sanitized, all outputs escaped.
- Nonces for all actions, capability checks for all settings.
- Clean uninstall removes all plugin data.
Privacy
Tutorial settings are stored in your WordPress database. Media-library videos are served by your site. YouTube and Vimeo videos are click-to-load: no provider request is made until a viewer selects Load video or follows the external video link. Loading a video sends connection information, including IP address, to that provider and is subject to its privacy policy.
