Generous Author

The plugin has auto size, which is a premium feature. However, thanks to the author, he generously offered it free without restriction.
Very helpful!

This plugin works very fine! Because of caching issues in combination with user restrictions I made a page with 20 iFrames, each loading another small page offering download links. This was the only chance for me to handle it and Auto iFrame made it possible. The resizing of the iFrames works perfectly. Many thanks for this great plugin!
Misleading description

Very misleading description. Does not work with content from “remote sites” ie not on the same domain – As stated by others, and despite what the author may insist, “cross domain” is basically the same as a “remote site”.
Problem is you don’t supply a simple link
by adabob·5 years ago·1 reply
I would assume for the non tech people you would supply a simple code where you only enter the link from Google sheets but no. What is this?
[auto-iframe link=xxx tag=xxx width=xxx height=xxx autosize=yes/no]
Says “link=xxx” but how do you insert the link above and where?
Makes this an uninstall and waste of time, give a working sample at least not something we need to figure out
Fantastic

Had to leave a review as I think this plugin deserves more praise and attention.
I’d spent a few hours (hate to count how many exactly) trying to get a few other auto-resize iframe methods working with poor results. It looked like the solution was to simply accept several more hours of work would be needed… I was beginning to lose hope.
Instead, why not search for a WordPress iframe resizer plugin? The result, within 5 minutes I had a perfect auto-resizing iframe working – and it was so easy I almost feel sick with how much time I wasted on the previous methods.
Thank you Greg. Auto Iframe has genuinely made my day. (Small donation sent.)
