Plugin is great! But, How can we style the text inside the iframe, let’s say the size of the image, the font of the basic text and the title?

It looks like the current version of the plugin has a bug for WordPress Multisite (perhaps single site as well?) where Embed_Extended::update_db_check() runs on every request.

This is because it’s using get_site_option() to collect the currently installed version, but update_option() to set it after an upgrade. This results in the plugin constantly clearing its cache. Switching to update_site_option() seems to fix the problem.

I wold like to make the iframes all 600 px width on a desktop and on a cell phone 300px.

Is that possible with css and what s the code if possible to get

Thanks,

Jeff Goldstein

Hi I tried your plugin with this url:

https://cdn.ggnome.com/samples/pano2vr_5/tower/

ANd I get the error message:

Please enable Javascript!
CDN.GGNOME.COM

Some suggestions ?

Thankyou

Does not work with websites for me . All it does is display the url of the site.

it would be nice if they were responsive out of the box. I was able to get all the embeds i needed to work on mobile with some edits to css except for twitch. any help is appreciated.

ANy idea on how to get this to work with veoh.com links to pull just the video? I tried using with and without [embed] around the url link and had no luck. Veoh used to include embed code as a way to share video uploaded to their site but don’t anymore.

Newest update broke the website – lost all text and only had awfully styled embedded images shown.

Dynamic iframes are inherently slower to display and more challenging to style, so the change doesn’t feel like going in right direction. After today’s update my server almost collapsed under the load.

Until then, it worked very well. The bugs I noticed:

– Failed to show title and/or description from meta when og:title/og:description existed but were empty.
– Failed to fetch titles and descriptions when OG tags contained a line break, also including in other OG tags than the fetched ones (e.g., articles on https://www.gazeta.pl)
– Failed to fetch titles and descriptions from some websites, only images showed (e.g., articles on https://www.edziecko.pl)
– Failed to fetch images specified using insecure (HTTP) URLs when the source page was specified using a HTTPS URL (e.g., articles on https://www.politykazdrowotna.com)
– Sometimes failed to fetch images specified in the source using a relative URL
– Sometimes failed to fetch correct title and image when source website used anti-AdBlocker technology; the link worked, though (e.g. articles on https://www.medonet.pl)
– Sometimes failed to convert &x; encoding to unicode, resulting in ó, &nbps; etc., in titles, etc. (e.g., articles on https://www.dziennikbaltycki.pl)
– Failed to filter out (incorrectly placed) HTML tags in og:description (e.g., some articles on https://www.radioszczecin.pl)
– <style> was repeated before each embed instead of being fetched from a separate stylesheet (which would be cached by the server). This impacted the display speed of pages with a large number of embeds.
– Embeds from WordPress sites were incorrectly displayed (using an iframe with wrong positioning) – end result: embeds not visible other than wrongly styled (or practically unstyled) titles.

I really like the potential of this plugin,however I’m encountering a couple of issues:

1/ I want to customise the cards it generates. The plugin description says that the template is extendable but I can find no instructions on how to do this.

2/ The Settings page is blank. There is nothing there other than a tab for General and a tab for Third Party.

I hope some guidance can be offered because this looks like a great plugin.

Hi, there’s a problem after the update.

If I put several embeds of Youtube in my writing, some embeds will fail.
If I put in 10 embeds, there will be 2 failures.
Failed embeds are not displayed; they appear only as addresses.
This failure is not fixed to a specific movie, and in some time the failure and success change.
Is there anyone else with this kind of problem?

I also updated the latest WordPress, so it might be a problem.
Please let me know if there is any solution.

Hi, how can I enable for video embed only — as I use other plugins/codes for google map, external website etc.

Hello, I have a Google API key for Maps & Streetview. I’ve pasted the key into the plugin’s settings field. I keep getting the Google Maps rejection message. I know the API is set up correctly as it’s working correctly with an older obsolete plugin on the same page. Any ideas on what I’m missing? Many thanks!

A shortcode to use this in other builders would be useful.

Edit: Oh there is an embed shortcode that this works with? I will have to try it.

When the plugin is installed, if I make a simple post with Title and a URL to an article, editing the article without making any changes causes WordPress to think the post was edited when I made no changes.

1. Make a new post, title it and make and extended embed of a URL to an article. (The Washington Times)
2. Save post and exit back to dashboard.
3. Edit the post and wait enough time for WordPress to do automatic browser backup.
4. Leave post editor and you will get a prompt to confirm that you want to leave, as if you made changes to the post, but did not save them. Click the “Leave” button.
5. Edit post again and there is a notice: “The backup of this post in your browser is different from the version below.” with a button to “Restore the backup.”

If you close the browser backup prompt and save the article, then edit again, the same thing happens.

It’s kind of annoying. ??

Webpage embed shows in Gutenberg editor after the plugin is deactivated. If it’s a new webpage link, it won’t show a webpage card, but if is a webpage link that was used while the plugin was activated, a webpage card will continue to show in Gutenberg editor.

Reproduce:

1. Install this plugin and activate
2. Make a new post and post a website link. (A Washington Times article) You will get a webpage card view.
3. Disable the plugin.
4. Make a new post and use same website link in step 2.

Result: A webpage card is shown.

Expected: Since the plugin is deactivated, it should return to normal Gutenberg behavior and not show a webpage card.

This is I was looking for.

If you can create additional features,
1) Limit option of max-height of pictures
2) Embed only text option without pictures

Please consider it if you can afford it.
I’m using the picture invisible with CSS code,
because the picture is too big with PC in reactive skin.

Thank you for your effort.

I love this plugin, its works perfectly. But it has three flaws.

The first is that it does not seem to santise all the external data returned. Eg get_description should alwasy be a plain text string so you should probably run it through something like sanitize_text_field. Similarly for get_thumbnail etc.

The second is someth sort of caching mechanism. This is absoluely vital as the plugin should not be refetching the foreign content each time. Nte I could be wronf on this as I have not devled through the whole code. the logical approach here would be to cache the templated data in post meta in a similar way to existing oemebed handler eg eg _embed_extended_url_hash

The third thing it needs are some filters to values returned by the functions that return the data from the html strings (eg a filter on the url returned by get_thumbnail for instance). This is not vital at all but would be really nice to have.

Thankyou again for this plugin though, it is magnificent but it does need a couple of things to make it perfect.
