[FREE] My new plugin Easy Comment Embeds is out!
Howdy!
So on one of the sites I run a lot of commenters add links and I couldn't find a decent plugin to render them so I wrote my own:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/vern-comment-embeds/
The GitHub repo is here:
https://github.com/clubside/vern-comment-embeds
And the basic information is:
Easy Comment Embeds improves comment readability by automatically enhancing standalone URLs:
Responsive oEmbed video
Inline image embeds
Twitter/X blockquote fallback
OpenGraph link preview cards
Smart URL detection (standalone URLs only)
Basically just like here on Reddit you put in a URL on its own line in a comment and it is run through WordPress' native oEmbed first and failing that there are fallbacks for images, X/Twitter and standard web pages where I try to build a Facebook-style OpenGraph card.
Hope some others find a use for it, and I'm bothering you all because of WordPress.org's search being so lousy 😜
