oEmbed in Comments

August 13, 2013

oEmbed in Comments Plugin

WordPress supports oEmbed, but only in post content. This adds oEmbed support to comments.

oEmbed is an easy way to embed media. It turns links into embedded content automatically. WordPress has supported it in posts for a while, but not in comments. This plugin uses the oEmbed support already in WordPress and adds it to comments.

Installation

  1. Unzip and upload the plugin to your plugins directory (`/wp-content/plugins/`).
  2. Activate oEmbed in Comments through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. That’s it. There’s no settings page. If the plugin is active, it’s adding oEmbed to your comments.

Screenshots

  1. I just posted a YouTube link in the comment and automatically got an embed, just like in the post.
