<p>The easiest way to share your favorite content from sites like YouTube, Flickr, Hulu and more on your BuddyPress network.</p>
<p>oEmbed for BuddyPress utilizes WordPress’ own oEmbed class, so by default, you can share content from the following sites:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>Blip.tv</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>DailyMotion</li>
<li>Flickr</li>
<li>Hulu</li>
<li>Viddler</li>
<li>Qik</li>
<li>Revision3</li>
<li>Photobucket</li>
<li>Scribd</li>
<li>WordPress.tv</li>
</ul>
<p>How do you use the plugin?  Simple!  Input <strong>any</strong> URL from one of the listed sites above into an activity update or forum post in BuddyPress.</p>
<p>When the update is posted, the URL automagically transforms into the embedded content.</p>
<h3>Technical info</h3>
<p>Because oEmbed for BuddyPress checks each link to see if it is oEmbeddable, for performance reasons, each link is cached in the database to reduce redundant oEmbed requests.</p>
<p>The cached entry is either the embed code (if the link is oEmbeddable) or the failed link.</p>
<p><strong>Whitelist feature</strong></p>
<p>By default, the plugin <em>whitelists</em> hyperlinks and URLs residing on the same domain as BuddyPress.</p>
<p>The cool thing is you can extend the whitelist.</p>
<p>For example, in an activity update, say you type in “http://www.google.com”, the plugin will cache that link in the database.  Say you wanted to omit Google.com links from being cached.</p>
<p>Open <code>bp-oembed-config.php</code> in a text editor and add the following line to the end:</p>
<pre><code>$bp_oembed['whitelist'][] = 'google.com';
</code></pre>
<p>This will whitelist all links from google.com.</p>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>array_map() warning is displayed – this is a BuddyPress issue, which is fixed in the latest bleeding version of BuddyPress (https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2747)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>When a forum post is deleted, the oEmbed forum post cache in bbPress isn’t deleted (<a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/does-deleting-a-forum-post-delete-the-related-bb_meta-as-well" rel="nofollow ugc">appears to be a bbPress issue</a>)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hyperlinks with single quotes get mangled (if you’re a regex expert, I could use your help!)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>eg. <code><a href='http://buddypress.org'>BuddyPress</a></code></p>
<ul>
<li>Hyperlinking an oEmbeddable link and inputting the same link in plain text will show the oEmbeddable item three times (two times if using anchor text) (not many people will do this)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Future versions</h3>
<ul>
<li>Implement AutoEmbed.com API fallback if oEmbed fails (will be an option)</li>
<li>Fix known issues 😉</li>
</ul>

<p>Content embedded from external sites such as YouTube or Twitter is loaded immediately when visitors access your site. Embed Privacy addresses this issue and prevents the loading of these contents until the visitor decides to allow loading of external content.<br />
But Embed Privacy not only protects your visitor’s privacy but also makes your site load faster.</p>
<p>All embeds will be replaced by placeholders, ready for you to apply style as you wish. With only a couple of lines of CSS.</p>
<p>By clicking on the placeholder the respective content will then be loaded.</p>
<p><strong>Note: This plugins requires the PHP extension <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php" rel="nofollow ugc">“Document Object Model” (php-dom)</a>.</strong></p>

Embed Privacy

Great and lightweight plugin: After using the plugin, I now no longer need the cookie banner on some websites that nobody likes. Thanks a lot 👍

great and lightweight plugin

Nice Plugin

Unobtrusive! No annoying upselling or similar functions for now… Easy to use. Adjustable content blockers, automatic thumbnails in wp-content/uploads folder – awesome! Thank you guys.

Amazing simple plugin


Especially love the "local tweets" feature where tweets are embedded locally as text without any connection to Twitter, and no privacy overlay is required.


Great privacy enhancement


A perfect solution which works literally with all kinds of embedded content and can even be extended in the backend. I also like the possibility to use preview images which are cached, so visitors have a glimpse what they could see without compromising their privacy.



Good work!


Perfect solution

Embed Privacy prevents the loading of embedded external content and allows your site visitors to opt-in.
