Social Post Embed

A temporary plugin solution to add embedding of various social media platform posts, until such time that they become of WordPress Core. At this moment this plugin will support embedding of Threads and Spoutible posts.

Using the plugin is incredibly simple. Once it’s installed and activated…

• Head to your social media conversation and click on the option to copy a link to it (or just grab the URL from the browser)
• You should be able to paste that link straight into a post and it will appear as an embed

There are no additional parameters that you can specify, and the embed appears as specified by their originating sites.

Please Note:
This plugin makes use of external scripts, to provide the embedding, all of which are provided by the originating website (rather than a third-party solution). These are…

• Threads (part of Meta). Their privacy policy can be found here.
• Spoutible. The Privacy Policy is here.

Social Post Embed can be found and installed via the Plugin menu within WordPress administration (Plugins -> Add New). Alternatively, it can be downloaded from WordPress.org and installed manually…

1. Upload the entire social-post-embed folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress administration.

It’s now ready to go and there are no settings.
