Wistia WordPress Plugin

Description

Wistia’s embed codes are designed to be very durable, but WordPress has a
history of being particularly troublesome. This plugin adds oEmbed support so
that pasting a link to the video’s page in Wistia will embed the video. The
video’s URL must be by itself on its own line for this to work.

As of version 0.6 of this plugin, it is recommended that you check
“Use oEmbed?” under Advanced Options when generating your embed code.

As of version 0.8 of this plugin, the legacy “Anti-Mangler” feature is an
option that is turned off by default.

See the Wistia documentation for more:

Don’t bother, it’s broken

We were using this in the backend of the site so that the oEmbed links would render the video content in the post editing screen inside some custom fields (it wasn’t being used on the front end at all) This was extremely helpful for our users to know that they had embedded the correct video in the custom fields in the posts, no more than a visual confirmation. Now it doesn’t work, which is unfortunate.

It might not have been updated in a year or two (am told the developers are working on this. . .) but it works like a dream with every wordpress site I have – and that’s quite a few – that have videos.

Not working as of 25 August 2016 (WP 4.6)
