The best WordPress plugin for videos? Supports close to everything you can imagine, still keeping it easy & simple.
It is very likely the one and only plugin you will ever need to handle video embeds on your WordPress site(s). It goes far beyond just making your videos responsive!
[arve] shortcodes.[embed] shortcodes.[arve] shortcode offers, with a nice UI and detailed settings descriptions.I was looking for a way to show my own related videos on the end screen, and this plugin does it beautifully! The layout looks very professional and clean. It’s exactly what I needed for my site. Thank you for creating such a wonderful and helpful tool!
Really love this Plugin. It has transformed my life and each upgrade gets better and better. Yes, the author is grumpy, but only out of frustration because I didn’t understand what info he needed. But once my problem was sorted (conflict with another plugin) it works like a charm. Please invest in the pro version, it makes to so much better.
Stopped working 3 days ago, with the last upgrade. I asked for a link to the previous working version, so I could re-install it until the current version would work.
I shouldn’t need such hand-holding.
Got me thinking, maybe if an upgrade to any plugin, stops it from working, perhaps it might become useful, if a link was included to previously working versions for people, who really rely on the work that you great authors, do, that helps us with what we do.
Thank you.
Elementor suddenly stopped showing embedded YouTube videos. I tried everything to solve it, until I found ARVE, a lightweight and decent plugin that solved the problem. Just put the video URL in a shortcode and magic happens. God bless the ARVE team.
Just because people use your plugin doesn’t give you right to take up 1/3 of the dashboard with your stupid advertisement.
“Hi, this is Nico(las Jonas) the author of the ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder plugin. If you are interrested in additional features and/or want to support the work I do on this plugin please consider buying the Pro Addon.”
Then proceeding to take up my dashboard with your “features”. I’ve seen plugins abusing the dashboard access before but none equals the wall of text that your plugin injects. Learn some basic decency before publishing a plugin. No, It doesn’t matter than it can be crossed out. It shouldn’t be there in the first place.
P.S. If you’re going to plaster someone’s dashboard with an essay advertising your pro version, at least spell check it. I’ll leave it to you to figure out where it is.
