Iframely cloud extends WordPress embeds with customizable embed blocks for over 1900 rich media publishers. For the rest of the Internet, Iframely shows a summary card preview.
Extensive rich media embed support
Following the existing flow of WordPress embeds, Iframely will detect URLs on a separate line in your posts and replace them with responsive embed blocks. Iframely enables all usual suspects such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Twitch, Vimeo, Wistia, Spotify, Tidal, Soundcloud, Pinterest, Giphy, GfyCat, Imgur, GitHub and
many more.
Test your URL to check if Iframely supports it.
Customize every embed block
Many media publishers offer various embedding options, and Iframely helps you apply it to each block, right in the Gutenberg editor. Think YouTube start/stop time, Twitter parent message and replies, included media preview or dark theme, Instagram author's caption and the like.
Fine-tune and white‑label
Optimize Iframely via your cloud account settings. Enable and match preview cards, consents and click-to-play to your branding via our WYSIWYG editors.

Increase session length and boost content strategy by promoting your content. Engage your users with URL preview cards instead of plain text links.

License
Iframely is a commercial plugin powered by the
Iframely cloud API. Every embed creates a cloud workload, and an active service
subscription is required for commercial use or production installations. Otherwise, we offer a free full-featured 30 day trial period so you can give Iframely a try before deciding.
Install like any other plugin, directly from your Plugins page or by uploading to
plugins
directory.
Once installed, you will need an API key to activate the plugin. Iframely is a commercial plugin connected to Iframely cloud service. Get your API key by signing up at
iframely.com. Iframely comes with a full-featured 30 days trial period and also offers a free and limited "Developer" plan for development and testing purposes.
Activate the Iframely plugin with the API key and you are done! Just keep using Gutenberg as you usually do. Iframely will embed any link for you.
By default, WordPress keeps embed codes cached until after the author edits/saves a post. If you’d like to drop the cache for older posts, and also to make Iframely refresh WordPress embeds cache more often, change “Evergreen cache” options on the Iframely plugin settings page of your WordPress admin section.
You can change every aspect of Iframely embeds via your account settings at
iframely.com.

0.5.0
Making Iframely to work nicely with
AMP WP plugin. Iframely now catches all missing embeds and follow your Iframely settings. But you can also opt to have Iframely for all embeds.
0.4.0
Turns out, WordPress does not follow cache_age response from API after all. It only refreshes embed codes when you edit and save post.
This isn't right. This update enables you to refresh embed codes periodically. It also gives and option to add any
query-string parameters to the use with API.
0.3.1
We are reverting one of the changes in version 0.3.0 – linking Iframely to single post/page scope. Our apologies: we casted the net too wide and Iframely wasn't working properly with some installations.
0.3.0
WordPress 4.5+ forces you to use built-in default cards when you want to embed a link to your own site. Iframely v0.3.0 returns the option for you to use Iframely cards instead. To remind: you can change design of cards at
iframely.com
Iframely v0.3.0 also disables the plugin outside of single post/page scope, as WordPress has caching issues and otherwise creates tremendous load to our servers.
0.2.9
Since WP 4.4, your site
publishes embeds by default so that other WP sites can embed summaries of your posts.
Iframely v 0.2.9 gives you an option to override the default widgets and use Iframely hosted
summary cards instead. Change design in your Iframely account settings.

- We enabled the hosted widgets. With it, we now can give you embed codes for videos that autoplay. We also handle SSL well, and provide graceful fallbacks for Flash videos for your iOS/mobile visitors. To enable this option, turn it on in Iframely settings.
- We also fixed the broken link to Iframely settings. The one that was on plugins list page, so it properly links to the same settings you have in main (left) menu.
0.2.2
This version includes fixes for WordPress Multisite. Iframely plugin options page will be available only for the super admins.
The regular WP installations should remain intact and do not require an instant upgrade.
0.2.0
There are 3 main changes: API Key, Shortcode, and Options page.
- In order to keep our servers up and running, we need to secure the API with the API Key. Get your FREE API Key here.
- If you don't want the hastle of configuring API Key, just shorten your links manually at http://iframe.ly first, before pasting it into your post. The short URL will come with the embed codes attached to it.
- Also, Iframely now has the options page where you can configure the way you'd like to use it.
- For example, you can opt to use Iframely in
[iframely]
shortcode only, leaving all the other default oEmbed providers intact.
[iframely]http://your.url/here[/iframely]
shortcode itself was introduced in this version.
