wistia

Wistia’s embed codes are designed to be very durable, but WordPress has a 
history of being particularly troublesome. This plugin adds oEmbed support so 
that pasting a link to the video’s page in Wistia will embed the video. The 
video’s URL must be by itself on its own line for this to work.
As of version 0.6 of this plugin, it is recommended that you check 
“Use oEmbed?” under Advanced Options when generating your embed code.
As of version 0.8 of this plugin, the legacy “Anti-Mangler” feature is an 
option that is turned off by default.

To use Plugin install and then on page you wish to place the Wistia Vid put shortcode [wistiavid id=xxxxx] xxxxx being the Wistia Video ID, this can be found in the URL of the video on Wistia. 
Eg. http://smallbusinesswebsites.wistia.com/medias/q509p384zl 
The ID of this video is q509p384zl therefore the shortcode for the video is [wistiavid id=q509p384zl] as found on this page:

Why I did this? 
The Wistia Plugin caused me great pains. I tried a few other code snippet plugins, but they then caused issues with “other” plugins.
Known issues: 
– “Add this” plugin can cause an error with conflicts in Jquery or Wistia JS files

Future developments: 
– Player customisation 
– Social Sharing tools 
– Call to action plugin 
– More control over email capture plugin
Advanced Users Only: 
Feel free to edit code to make this work for you. 
Just go to “embed builder” in Wistia, set up video how you want it. 
Select Embed Type: Inline 
Show advanced options 
– Select API
You will see the section: 
“
<
script> 
 wistiaEmbed = “
Duplicate this in the wistiavid.php file function PlaceWistiaVid($args) – be sure to watch the commas
