## Description

This plugin allows you to embed external sites that are not supported by the [built-in WordPress embed feature](https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/).
It fetches information from the site’s embed API, oEmbed endpoint and Open Graph
tags. It will also parse the content manually if such information cannot be found.

#### Usage

Just **copy-and-paste the URL into your favorite WordPress post editor** to trigger
the embed fetching function.

It integrates seamlessly with the Gutenberg editor, Elementor, classic editor, the
embed shortcode, and also programmatically, so you don’t have to set up anything
to get it working.

#### Features

 * **No setup needed.** Activate and it should work right away.
 * **Non-intrusive.** This plugin will not replace embed for sites already supported
   by the built-in WordPress embed feature or other plugins (e.g., Jetpack).
 * **Responsive.** Embed cards will adjust to the available space.
 * **Extendable template.** The default embed card template can be extended to get
   a different look.

#### Supported content types

Content types below are supported by the plugin:

 * Any web pages.
 * Any source code and configuration file links (js, css, php, py, rb, ini, conf,
   etc).
 * Any video links (mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, flv).
 * Any audio links (mp3, ogg, flac, m4a, wav).
 * Any PDF document links.

This plugin also improves support for the following content providers:

 * [GitHub](https://github.com/) source codes and snippets/gists.
 * [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/) source codes.
 * [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps) places, directions, street views, 
   search results, and area maps.
 * [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv) videos, channel, and collections.
 * [Waze](https://www.waze.com/livemap) livemap.
 * [Wistia](https://wistia.com/) videos and playlists.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Embed Google Maps links.

   built-in WordPress embed feature.

The newest update completely broke my website, and restoring the earlier plugin 
version required a manual purge of transients from the database. Earlier, the plugin
worked brilliantly, was very lightweight and easy to style via custom css, although
it had its share of bugs, too.
