AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Livid – Video Hosting is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Livid — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (2) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Livid – Video Hosting works
Show full descriptionShow less
Livid is a video hosting platform. This plugin serves two purposes:
Enable Livid embeds — Register Livid as an oEmbed provider so pasting Livid URLs into WordPress automatically creates video embeds, just like YouTube or Vimeo.
Migrate from Vimeo — Scan your WordPress post content for Vimeo videos and replace them with equivalent Livid videos via the Livid platform.
Key Features
Automatic embeds — Paste any livid.com URL and it auto-embeds
Page builder ready — Native Livid Video elements for Elementor, WPBakery, and Bricks, a Livid video type in Slider Revolution, plus a [livid_video] shortcode
LearnDash ready — Livid lesson and topic embeds support LearnDash video progression, resume tracking, and completion
Complete scanning — Finds Vimeo iframes, Gutenberg embed blocks, bare URLs, [embed] and shortcodes, Elementor widgets, WPBakery elements, Bricks elements, and LearnDash lesson/topic progression URLs
Background processing — Scan and migration run as Action Scheduler jobs so they won’t time out on large sites
Safe replacement — Only replaces the specific videos you select through the Livid migration popup
Rollback data — Main-content edits create a tagged WordPress revision; supported builder and LearnDash setting edits get an immutable pre-write snapshot
Permanent install — Keep the plugin active for continued Livid embed support
How It Works The plugin registers Livid as an oEmbed provider, which is active immediately upon installation. For migration:
Go to Settings > Livid and click “Start Scan”
The plugin scans supported post content, page-builder data, and LearnDash lesson/topic progression settings for Vimeo embeds
A popup opens where you select which videos to migrate and map them to Livid video IDs
The plugin rewrites the selected embeds in the background
Scope Migration scans and rewrites post_content, supported page-builder data for Elementor (_elementor_data) and Bricks (_bricks_page_content_2), and LearnDash’s lesson_video_url setting for lessons/topics. Options, widget content, theme settings, and other post meta are not modified.
External Services This plugin interacts with Livid in two ways:
1. Video migration
When you initiate a migration, the plugin sends a listing of Vimeo videos found on your site along with basic information about the pages they appear on. This is necessary so that Livid can match the Vimeo videos on your site to the ones you have uploaded to your Livid account. No data is sent unless you actively start a migration.
2. oEmbed provider
This plugin registers Livid as an oEmbed provider in WordPress. When a Livid video URL is embedded in a post or page, WordPress will make a request to Livid’s oEmbed endpoint to retrieve embed information (such as the video title and player HTML). This happens whenever a post containing a Livid embed is edited or its embed cache is refreshed.
Both interactions are in line with Livid’s terms of service and privacy policy.
