Embed Extended – Embed Maps, Videos, Websites, Source Codes, and more

Description

This plugin allows you to embed external sites that are not supported by the built-in WordPress embed feature. It fetches information from the site’s embed API, oEmbed endpoint and Open Graph tags. It will also parse the content manually if such information cannot be found.

Usage

Just copy-and-paste the URL into your favorite WordPress post editor to trigger the embed fetching function.

It integrates seamlessly with the Gutenberg editor, Elementor, classic editor, the embed shortcode, and also programmatically, so you don’t have to set up anything to get it working.

Features

• No setup needed. Activate and it should work right away.
• Non-intrusive. This plugin will not replace embed for sites already supported by the built-in WordPress embed feature or other plugins (e.g., Jetpack).
• Responsive. Embed cards will adjust to the available space.
• Extendable template. The default embed card template can be extended to get a different look.

Supported content types

Content types below are supported by the plugin:

• Any web pages.
• Any source code and configuration file links (js, css, php, py, rb, ini, conf, etc).
• Any video links (mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, flv).
• Any audio links (mp3, ogg, flac, m4a, wav).
• Any PDF document links.

This plugin also improves support for the following content providers:

• GitHub source codes and snippets/gists.
• GitLab source codes.
• Google Maps places, directions, street views, search results, and area maps.
• Twitch videos, channel, and collections.
• Waze livemap.
• Wistia videos and playlists.

Does everything I needed it to do! Thank you for this addon.

Newest update broke my website

The newest update completely broke my website, and restoring the earlier plugin version required a manual purge of transients from the database. Earlier, the plugin worked brilliantly, was very lightweight and easy to style via custom css, although it had its share of bugs, too.

This plug-in is the best
