Today I just tagged version 0.8.0 of the oEmbed feature plugin. Despite the small version number the plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party saw some major improvements compared to last week. The changelog:
- Added translations for Spanish, French, Italian, Finnish, Hebrew. There are now 13 translations in total!
- Majorly improved embed handling: There’s now a 404 view for non-existent posts and we redirect to the right URL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org when post slugs change. The latter needs to be fixed in core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. though, see #33920.
- Improved REST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/. support thanks to a review from the team
- Better support for multisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site and WordPress installs in a subdirectory
- Now the plugin properly supports emojis too! 😀
This was only possible because of great feedback from plenty of users. The plugin is running smoothly on lots of sites now, including WordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ itself! It will also ship to WordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ this week if everything goes as planned.
We’re very happy with the plugin’s current form. Our priority tasks are now reviewing inline documentation and making sure the plugin is as secure as possible. If these are areas you’d like to work on, your help would be highly appreciated!
As always,the latest version of the plugin is available on the plugin repository.
