Privacy Lite Video Embeds for YouTube replaces YouTube embeds with lightweight local placeholders.
Fast video embeds for YouTube. Nothing loads until click.
Trademark note: this is a third-party plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
Before the visitor clicks, the frontend loads only local resources from the site:
<ul>
<li>local HTML markup;</li>
<li>local CSS from the plugin;</li>
<li>local JavaScript from the plugin;</li>
<li>locally cached video thumbnail, when available.</li>
</ul>
The YouTube player is created only after user interaction and uses the privacy-enhanced <code>youtube-nocookie.com</code> embed domain.
This can help reduce external frontend requests, improve perceived loading performance, and provide a more privacy-friendly default behavior for embedded YouTube videos.
Important: this plugin is a technical privacy/performance aid. It does not constitute legal advice and does not by itself guarantee compliance with privacy laws. Site owners remain responsible for their own privacy notices, consent setup, and legal assessment.

The Embed Piwigo plugin adds support for embedding photos from whitelisted <a href="https://piwigo.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Piwigo</a> websites.
This means that you can add the URL (a.k.a. ‘web address’) of a photo in a Piwigo site to a WordPress post or page, and a medium-sized, centered image will be inserted in its place.
The standard WordPress captioning system will be used (as for the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Caption_Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Caption Shortcode</a>), with the photo’s title, date, and description added if they’re available for a given image.
For example, if you have <code>https://piwigo.org/demo</code> in your Piwigo site URLs list, and add the following URL on its own line in a post or page on your blog:
<pre><code>https://piwigo.org/demo/picture.php?/1382/category/111
</code></pre>
then a photo of a mountain in Kerzers will be inserted, with the caption “Colline de Chiètres (May 6, 2016)”. The date format will match whatever your WordPress installation is configured to use.
