<p>This plugin allows you to embed external sites that are not supported by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/" rel="ugc">built-in WordPress embed feature</a>. 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.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Just <strong>copy-and-paste the URL into your favorite WordPress post editor</strong> to trigger the embed fetching function.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No setup needed.</strong> Activate and it should work right away.</li>
<li><strong>Non-intrusive.</strong> This plugin will not replace embed for sites already supported by the built-in WordPress embed feature or other plugins (e.g., Jetpack).</li>
<li><strong>Responsive.</strong> Embed cards will adjust to the available space.</li>
<li><strong>Extendable template.</strong> The default embed card template can be extended to get a different look.</li>
</ul>
