<p>The H5P plugin for WordPress received proper support for theming in version 1.17.4. However,<br />
H5P Group decided to keep the theme picker that allows you to set a global theme for all H5P content types<br />
an exclusive feature of H5P.com. This plugin fills that void and gives you the same options.</p>
<h3>Install</h3>
<p>Install from the WordPress plugin repository and activate.</p>
<h3>Configure</h3>
<p>You will find a new settings menu item labeled “H5P Themer”. It allows you to pick from a list<br />
of predefined themes or define your own custom theme. You can also choose the density, which<br />
influences how wide or compact H5P content will appear.</p>


SNORDIAN's H5P Themer

Allows you to set themes for H5P content.

<p>The “SNORDIAN’s Local User Data for H5P” plugin for WordPress amends the H5P plugin for WordPress. The latter saves the previous state of H5P content in the server’s database for users who are logged in. This plugin will, when activated, also store the previous state in the user’s browser and retrieve it from there. This enables to resume H5P content without having to be logged in.</p>
<h3>Install</h3>
<h3>Install via WordPress plugin repository</h3>
<p>Install just like any other plugin.</p>
<h3>Upload ZIP file</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to https://github.com/otacke/snordians-local-user-data-for-h5p/releases.</li>
<li>Pick the latest release (or the one that you want to use) and download the <code>snordians-local-user-data-for-h5p.zip</code> file.</li>
<li>Log in to your WordPress site as an admin and go to <em>Plugins > Add New Plugin</em>.</li>
<li>Click on the <em>Upload Plugin</em> button.</li>
<li>Upload the ZIP file with the plugin code.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Configure</h3>
<p>The “SNORDIAN’s Local User Data for H5P” plugin for WordPress does not need to be configured. In order to become active, you will go to the H5P plugin settings:<br />
1. Find “Save Content State”<br />
2. Check the option “Allow logged-in users to resume tasks”. This is required for being able to restore the previous state of H5P content in general.<br />
3. Set “Auto-save frequency (in seconds)” to the time interval that should be used. The “SNORDIAN’s Local User Data for H5P” plugin will use the same value. It’s not advisable to set this too low, because even though the “SNORDIAN’s H5P Local User Data” plugin uses the browser’s local storage, H5P will store states inside the database and creating too many calls frequently may mean much load for your server.</p>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>The state will not be stored continuously, but be bound to H5P’s core triggering respective events, see <a href="https://snordian.de/2023/03/04/how-does-resuming-an-exercise-work-in-h5p" rel="nofollow ugc">How does resuming an exercise work in H5P?</a> for details.</li>
<li>It is not possible to only store the previous state in the browser’s local storage but not in the database without changes to the H5P core (or overloading it, which this plugin does not do). So, if users are logged into WordPress and do H5P exercises, the exercises’s state will be stored inside the database.</li>
<li>Browsers limit the amount of local storage available per domain to 5MB or 10MB. This means that if users access a lot of H5P content, if H5P content stores a lot of data, or if other parts of your site use the local storage, space may run out and data may be lost.</li>
<li>Similar to H5P itself, the plugin cannot store the state of content embedded with embed codes rather than WordPress shortcodes.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Beware that (in theory) the H5P user state could contain personal information of the user if the respective exercise demands to enter personal information. The “SNORDIAN’s Local User Data for H5P” plugin does not allow you to get hold of that information – in other words: you are not processing it. However, since the H5P plugin will send the very same information to your server, dealing with privacy implications of the H5P plugin may or may not be relevant for you depending on your local privacy laws.</p>
