The Simple Video Embedder WordPress Plugin

The Simple Video Embedder WordPress plugin is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to embed video within their WordPress powered website. Let’s face it, video has landed, and WordPress isn’t just for blogging anymore. Many of my WordPress themes integrate video in a way that is very visually appealing, but until now there really wasn’t a “simple” way to embed video within your posts without having to go through a bunch of time consuming, and confusing (depending on the user) steps.

Embed Any Video Format With Ease

With the Simple Video Embedder plugin, adding video to your post is as easy as pasting the URL for the video you want to add within a field, and then click submit. You can even provide simple “width” and “height” parameters to size your video to match your theme. Currently, this “URL embed” method works perfectly with several services including Vimeo.com, YouTube.com, MetaCafe.com, Revver.com, Google Video and Seesmic.com. Or, of you want to host your own video, the plugin is also compatible with FLV (Flash Video) and Quicktime formats. If your video service is not on the list of currently supported formats for the “URL embed” feature, you can use the optional “embed code” field. To view this entire process in action, check out the Simple Video Embedder screencast below.

Download & Support

You can download the latest version of the Simple Video Embedder WordPress plugin by click the download button to the right. Before you start asking a bunch of questions, please read the setup and usage instructions. If you do need a little extra support, please post your questions within the Press75.com support forums under the Simple Video Embedder Plugin forum.

Crediting the Developer

While I would love to take full credit for this wonderful code, I am simply the “Idea Man” behind the concept (I will stick to designing themes). James Lao is a Carnegie Mellon University student majoring in computer science, and the author of the Press75.com “Simple Post Thumbnails” plugin. I have worked with James several times in the past, and hope to utilize his talent in the future to bring Press75.com to the next level. For information about James and what he is up to, check out his blog at JamesLao.com.

Featured Categories are Just as Valuable as Featured Posts

Posted by Jason Schuller

If you haven't checked out my latest Video Theme yet, you might want to have a look. The brand new TV Elements 3.0 WordPress theme has what I think is a great new feature that I intend on implementing within many of my upcoming themes. I wanted to create a way where you could choose and feature "categories" similar to the way most themes allow you to feature posts. With that in mind, I developed a featured category gallery for the new TV Elements theme that allows you to configure up to 12 categories of your choice. Each featured category ...

Auto Support Registration for new Press75.com Customers

Posted by Jason Schuller

Something I have been meaning to do for quite a long time is integrate auto support registration for all Press75.com customers. Until now, this was a painstaking manual process which entailed new customers having to manually register within the support forums and then verify their membership via email. This was very time consuming for both the customer and myself. As of today, support forum registration is automatic. When you make any theme or theme pack purchase on Press75.com, you will automatically be registered within the support forums and will be notified via email of your account details. I know this ...

Random Testimonials:

I think your themes and support are first class. In fact I don’t really want to buy any more themes from anyone else as the support simply doesn’t match what you guys do – keep up the good work!
