Long-form descriptionoEmbed Plus
Adds support for embedding Facebook and Instagram posts in Block Editor (Gutenberg) and Classic Editor. This feature was removed in WordPress core due to deprecation of legacy APIs WordPress core used. Prior to WordPress 5.5.1, WordPress had support to embed Instagram and Facebook photos, videos, notes, quizes, etc in posts created with Block Editor and Classic Editor. However, Facebook removed this legacy API in October 2020, and this plugin implements the new APIs to bring back support for Facebook and Instagram content embedding. Note that you will need to register a Facebook developer account and create an app to get API credentials that this plugin uses. There is no coding necessary, but an API key needs to be created and set for the plugin. Detailed setup instructions are available in oEmbed Plus guide at PHP.Watch This project is not owned, endorsed, or otherwise affiliated with Facebook Inc. or Instagram LLC.
ZD Embed for Zoom Meeting SDK
ZD Embed for Zoom Meeting SDK lets you embed a meeting experience inside WordPress pages (not an iframe). It uses the Zoom Meeting SDK (Web) and generates the required signature on your server via a protected REST endpoint. Features: * Custom Post Type: Zoom Rooms (each room has a public URL like /zoom/my-room/) * Shortcode embedding anywhere * Server-side signature (JWT HS256) via REST endpoint protected by a temporary token * Optional “Leave URL” * Anti-cache headers for embed pages (helps prevent expired-token issues) Important notes: * You cannot reliably embed a standard Zoom join link in an iframe due to browser/platform restrictions. The recommended way is the Meeting SDK. * By default the plugin generates attendee (role=0) signatures only. Host role requires additional security and is intentionally blocked. Zoom App Setup (Meeting SDK) To embed meetings you need a Zoom app with Meeting SDK enabled. Steps (high-level): 1. Go to the Zoom App Marketplace and choose Develop → Build App. 2. Create a General App. 3. Open Embed and enable Meeting SDK. 4. Copy your credentials (Client ID/Secret or SDK Key/Secret) from App Credentials. Official documentation: * Meeting SDK – Create your app * Meeting SDK – Authentication / signature (These links are also included inside the plugin admin screen.) Shortcode Use this shortcode in any post/page: [zd_zoom_embed meeting_number=”123456789″ passcode=”ABC123″ height=”700″ auto_join=”1″ user_name=”Guest”] Arguments: * meeting_number (required) * passcode (optional) * height (default 700) * auto_join (default 1) * user_name (optional)
