WP Document Revision plugin permalink does not work to embed

    I’m using WordPress version 5.3.2 and have WP Document Revisions version 3.2.4 installed. Every time I embed a permalink for a document into a post or page, it shows up for a moment, then changes to an error message that says “Oops! That embed can’t be found. It looks like nothing was found at this location.” I’ve tried using different themes, but can’t seem to get it to work. I’m somewhat new at using WordPress and would really like this plugin to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

    @glariviere,
    I have not used the embed tag much but its intent is to render the content in a frame of the post or page. Normally this will be an audio file or Youtube video link. In the latter case of, the URL contains the address of the player together with the parameter of what to play.

    So I would guess that one reason why you are getting a Not Found error is because it cannot find the renderer for your document within the page.

    There is currently no renderer for Documents to be embedded within a page.

    I tried embedding a .png file – and got a similar 404 error.

    When I tried embedding the readme.html file in the root directory, it gives me a one line link to the file which I can click and read.

    However if you eould like a link to the document on your page or post then you can enter a shortcode as [documents id=???] where ??? is the id of your document.

    Or, using your permalink directly [documents slug='permalink'] which will have the same effect.

    Hope this is of use,
    Neil James
