Viddler

The Viddler WordPress plugin, which makes it easy to embed videos and add video commenting to your WordPress-powered website, has been updated with a few key updates.

First, we’ve cleared up the confusion with the way the plugin handles shortcodes. For years Viddler had its own shortcode syntax while WordPress.com had their own syntax. Many of our customers found this to be confusing so we’ve ditched our syntax and went with WordPress.com’s standard. Don’t worry, all of the old shortcodes will work in perpetuity.

Second, we’ve brought the plugin up-to-date with the latest version of PHPViddler, our official PHP API wrapper, and the techiniques it uses with our API to make the plugin a bit faster. We also made sure that our plugin plays nice with the latest versions of WordPress.

If you’re using The Viddler WordPress plugin we recommend this update to all customers.
