Description

The Embeds addon recognizes URLs pasted by visitors inside wpDiscuz comments and automatically converts them into video, audio, and social post previews via the oEmbed protocol. It covers more than thirty video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Rutube, Metacafe) as well as SoundCloud, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Reddit, turning the comment thread into a multimedia feed aimed at sites with strong engagement in the discussion section.

How to Download Embeds

Embeds is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. The addon requires wpDiscuz 7.0.0 or higher already installed and active, and the oEmbed controls appear within wpDiscuz settings.

Aimed at sites that treat the comment thread as a relevant editorial space, Embeds eliminates the step of copying embed codes and frees visitors to simply paste the media link. The result is a multimedia comment section aligned with wpDiscuz’s visual standard and compatible with most video, audio, and social media platforms used today.
