glomex oEmbed connects your WordPress site to glomex Exchange. Paste a video or playlist URL into any editor and WordPress replaces it with the glomex player – no embed code to copy, no HTML to maintain. The plugin registers glomex as a native WordPress oEmbed provider, so embedding works in the block editor, the classic editor and any editor that supports oEmbed. All you need is a glomex Exchange integration ID. Once the integration ID is configured, embedding takes three steps: Forge a URL from template: https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (integrationId parameter is optional) Go to your post and paste the url into any editor (editor must support oEmbed) You get an embedded player inside content! Shortcodes [glomex_integration] You can use the shortcode [glomex_integration] to embed a player in your post. Additional shortcode parameters (not required): * playlist_id – ID of the playlist to embed * integration_id – override default integration ID * variant – player variant (default: &#8216;player-listicle’) * width – player width in pixels (default: responsive width) * height – player height in pixels (default: 16:9 aspect ratio) If both width and height are not specified, the player will use responsive sizing with 16:9 aspect ratio. URL The supported URL scheme is https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID The placeholder variables are: * VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (mandatory) – the element id to embed * [video|videos|playlist|playlists] (mandatory) – select one item to embed – it should exist in your account and be accessible with the given integration ID Allowed parameters: integrationId (optional) – allows overriding integration ID for this single embed Plugin settings are used by default in all cases. Query strings will override the setting. Configuration options The plugin adds a settings page with two options: the global integration ID and custom script attributes. You can set up the default integration ID using the GLOMEX_INTEGRATION_ID environment variable. Custom script attributes On the settings page you can add custom HTML data-* attributes to the glomex player script tags. This is useful for telling performance/optimization plugins to leave the player script alone – for example, add data-cfasync = false to exclude the script from Cloudflare Rocket Loader, or data-no-optimize = 1 to exclude it from WP Rocket. Only data-* attribute names are accepted; other names are ignored. The attributes are added to the player script tag of each embed.
