Embed videos, images, PDF, and article previews from "any" source with just the URL.
Just add your Embedly Key to the Embedly plugin setting
Enhance the default WordPress embedding to get previews for any article,
including your own blog posts. You also get embeds for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch,
Google Maps, and Embedly’s growing list of 1000+ supported
providers.
You can customize the style of the embeds, to optimize for darker WP themes,
alignment, and width. In addition, social buttons can be added around the embeds
to make it easier to share content from your blog posts.
If you have an Embedly Cards account, you can link it to the plugin with your Embedly API key. Not only does this remove branding from the cards, it also gives you access to analytics and viewer behaviors for most popular music and video player embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, SoundCloud). Find out how many people viewed your embeds for how long. To learn more about Embedly Cards please visit our website.
Using it is as simple as the default WordPress embedding. Embed media by pasting its URL in a single line when writing a post.
The plugin automatically displays an embed of the media in the WordPress post editor.
Fair Warning: This plugin generates static HTML content for your posts. After you deactivate
the plugin, that HTML will still remain behind in all posts where the plugin was used to create
embeds.
