Sharing

Sharing controls where your Share links open. Every media item in Ink Player has a built-in Share action that gives viewers a clean public link and a ready-to-paste embed code — this page decides which page on your site hosts those links.

How sharing works

From the Media library (and the player's own menu, where enabled), a Share action opens a dialog with two things:

• Share link — a public URL to a standalone page that plays just that media.
• Embed code — an <iframe> snippet you can paste into another site to embed the player.

The share and embed pages respect each media's access control — private and password-protected media stay protected when shared.

Share page

By default, share links open on a built-in page that Ink Player renders for you, so sharing works out of the box with no setup.

To host share links on a page you control — so they inherit your theme's header, footer, and styling — point Ink Player at your own page:

1. Create a new WordPress page (for example, Watch).
2. Add the [inkp_share] shortcode to its content.
3. Return here and select that page in the Page dropdown.

Leave the dropdown empty to keep using the built-in default page.

TIP

The [inkp_share] shortcode reads the requested media from the share link automatically — you don't pass it any attributes. See Shortcodes for the full list.
