Instagram Embeds: Paste an Instagram image, video, or carousel post URL and get a rich, interactive embed. Facebook Embeds: Paste a Facebook post or reel URL and get a rich, interactive embed. Block Editor Support: Dedicated “Threads”, “Instagram”, and “Facebook” embed blocks with a live preview. Classic Editor Support: Auto-embeds Threads, Instagram, and Facebook URLs via WordPress oEmbed. Lightweight: No external dependencies, no settings page, no bloat. Tokenless: Uses Meta’s tokenless oEmbed APIs for instant, frictionless embeds. Supported URL Formats Threads: Post Permalink: https://www.threads.com/@{username}/post/{media-shortcode}/ Shorthand Post URL: https://www.threads.com/t/{media-shortcode}/ Instagram: Image and Carousel Posts: https://www.instagram.com/p/{media-shortcode}/ Reels: https://www.instagram.com/reel/{media-shortcode}/ Profiles: https://www.instagram.com/{username}/ Facebook: Posts: https://www.facebook.com/{username}/posts/{post-id}/ Reels: https://www.facebook.com/reel/{reel-id}/ Privacy This plugin registers Meta’s oEmbed API endpoints as providers in WordPress. When a Threads, Instagram, or Facebook URL is embedded: WordPress makes a server-side request to graph.threads.com/oembed (Threads), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/instagram_oembed (Instagram), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_post (Facebook posts), or graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_video (Facebook videos) to fetch the embed HTML. The embed HTML includes a script tag that loads threads.com/embed.js, instagram.com/embed.js, or connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js on the frontend to render the embed. No user data is collected or stored by this plugin. Frontend embed rendering is subject to Meta’s Privacy Policy.
