=== oEmbed Plus === Contributors: ayeshrajans Tags: embed, facebook, instagram, oembed Requires at least: 5.4 Tested up to: 5.6 Stable tag: 1.4 Requires PHP: 7.1 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Adds support for embedding Facebook and Instagram posts in the block editor. == Description == This plugin implements the new Facebook and Instagram oEmbed APIs, restoring the Facebook and Instagram embeds in block editor. Prior to WordPress 5.5.1, WordPress had support to embed Instagram and Facebook photos, videos, notes, quizes, etc in posts created with the block editor. However, Facebook removed this legacy API in October 2020, and this plugin implements the new APIs to bring back support for Facebook and Instagram content embedding. Note that you will need to register a Facebook developer and create an app to get API credentials that this plugin uses. Detailed setup instructions are available in [oEmbed Plus guide at PHP.Watch](https://php.watch/articles/wordpress-facebook-instagram-oembed) == Frequently Asked Questions == = WordPress already supports this feature in core = Yes, but only in versions prior to 5.5.1, and it used a legacy API that stopped working after October 24, 2020. See [#50861](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50861) for more information. = This version requires PHP 7.1 = Yes, this plugin requires PHP 7.1 or later. That is by design. = Can you add support for service X? = Probably not. This plugin is intended to bring back functionality the WordPress core eventually drops. = How do I set the API ID and secret? = Go to Settings -> Writing, and you will see a section to enter Facebook App ID and Secret. Alternately, you can set the Facebook App ID and secret in the `wp-config.php` file. If they are set in the `wp-config.php` file, the settings form in Settings -> Writing section will be disabled. To enter the Facebook App ID and secret, update the `wp-config.php` file in root of your WordPress installation, and append the following lines: ` define('OEMBED_PLUS_FACEBOOK_APP_ID', ''); define('OEMBED_PLUS_FACEBOOK_SECRET', ''); ` = Optionally hide the admin UI= It is possible to completely hide the administration form added by this plugin in Admin → Settings → Writing page. This can be helpful if you set the configuration values in the `wp-config.php` file, and keep the administration UI minimal. To hide the administration form, update the `wp-config.php` file with an extra line: ` define('OEMBED_PLUS_HIDE_ADMIN_UI', true); ` == Screenshots == 1.

Example embedded content == Changelog == **1.0** - Initial release. **1.1** - Fixes a bug in Instagram oEmbed URL endpoint check. - Minor improvements in the Facebook App ID field validations. **1.2** - Add `https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=` URL pattern to supported video URL patterns. - Allow setting Facebook App ID and secret with a [constant in `wp-config.php` file](https://php.watch/articles/wordpress-facebook-instagram-oembed#wp-config). **1.4** - Add an option to completely hide the admin UI by setting `OEMBED_PLUS_HIDE_ADMIN_UI` PHP constant in `wp-config.php` file. - Code styling clean-up. - The minimum required PHP version is changed to 7.1 from PHP 7.3. It's strongly suggested to use more recent and supported PHP versions nonetheless.
