Embed WordPress posts or products anywhere – like a Twitter Card. No iframe. No oEmbed. Just pure JS, full control, and beautiful design.

Hao Nguyen

Init Embed Posts lets you embed WordPress content externally – with beautiful cards, real-time REST API data, and zero friction.
Instead of using iframes or clunky oEmbed, this plugin gives you clean <code><div></code> + <code><script></code> snippets, which load the post or product dynamically using WordPress REST API. Designed for speed, style, and full control – using pure JavaScript and smart caching.
