FAQ

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 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', '<App ID Here>');
define('OEMBED_PLUS_FACEBOOK_SECRET', '<Secret Here>');

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);
