About this plugin
glomex oEmbed connects your WordPress site to glomex Exchange. Paste a video or playlist URL into any editor and WordPress replaces it with the glomex player – no embed code to copy, no HTML to maintain.
The plugin registers glomex as a native WordPress oEmbed provider, so embedding works in the block editor, the classic editor and any editor that supports oEmbed. All you need is a glomex Exchange integration ID.
Once the integration ID is configured, embedding takes three steps:
- Forge a URL from template: https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (integrationId parameter is optional)
- Go to your post and paste the url into any editor (editor must support oEmbed)
- You get an embedded player inside content!
Shortcodes
[glomex_integration]
You can use the shortcode [glomex_integration] to embed a player in your post.
Additional shortcode parameters (not required):
* playlist_id – ID of the playlist to embed
* integration_id – override default integration ID
* variant – player variant (default: ‘player-listicle’)
* width – player width in pixels (default: responsive width)
* height – player height in pixels (default: 16:9 aspect ratio)
If both width and height are not specified, the player will use responsive sizing with 16:9 aspect ratio.
URL
com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID
The placeholder variables are:
* VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (mandatory) – the element id to embed
* [video|videos|playlist|playlists] (mandatory) – select one item to embed – it should exist in your account and be accessible with the given integration ID
Allowed parameters:
- integrationId (optional) – allows overriding integration ID for this single embed
Plugin settings are used by default in all cases. Query strings will override the setting.
Configuration options
The plugin adds a settings page with two options: the global integration ID and custom script attributes.
You can set up the default integration ID using the GLOMEX_INTEGRATION_ID environment variable.
Custom script attributes
On the settings page you can add custom HTML data-* attributes to the glomex player script tags. This is useful for telling performance/optimization plugins to leave the player script alone – for example, add data-cfasync = false to exclude the script from Cloudflare Rocket Loader, or data-no-optimize = 1 to exclude it from WP Rocket. Only data-* attribute names are accepted; other names are ignored.
The attributes are added to the player script tag of each embed.
