Easy to use, but perhaps overly simplistic

  • Installation is a breeze and setup is very straightforward. Not a lot of interface options that I will never use nor any overly complex configurations necessary to get this plugin working. That being said…

    1. The instructions the dev gives for video links is incorrect. The plugin requires the share link (e.g., https://youtu.be/12adfablah) not the url link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12adfablah) to get videos to load properly.

    2. The sidebar widget comes with no Title calls, so it appears as an undescribed area in the sidebar. This is not so much of an issue, but it makes formatting sidebar layout rather clumsy and, since most users will expect the ability to customize the title of the widget, this is a mark against this plugin.

    3. Modifying anything in the PHP of the widget causes the plugin to fail for I don’t know what reason, but it requires the plugin to be reinstalled to function properly.

    Blue Wrench has the potential for some utility, but it still requires more development.
