Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

About WordPress Auto-embeds

WordPress has a nifty auto-embed feature, allowing authors to automatically turn a link to a video embed into a video player when a post is viewed. To turn this feature on check the Auto-embeds check box in Administration > Settings > Media SubPanel.

Under the hood

Please note that this plugins modifies the output of modify_embed_output filter, adding HTML & CSS to make the magic happen.

Credit for the method used in this plugin goes to Anders M. Andersen for crafting the method used to gracefully resize the embeds.

Create and maintained by Kevin Leary, a WordPress developer living in Boston, MA.
