Responsive video embed plugin is a lightweight and simple video embedding plugin that will create responsive video embeds to your site.
It is possible to create responsive video embed by:
1) Simply copy pasting embed video URL into editor
2) Using a shortcode manually
[rve src=”embed video url” ratio=”video aspect ratio”]
src = URL of the embedded video
ratio = either ’16by9′ / ‘4by3′ / ’21by9’ / ‘1by1’ (optional), 16by9 is by default
3) Using the shortcode automatically by clicking on Embed video button and typing in video embed URL and selecting aspect ratio.
This plugin might hide other custom classic editor buttons, (e.g. from Prismatic) or your own. I’ve implemented a custom button, and it didn’t show until I disabled this plugin. Furthermore, it generates some warnings in logs like:
[27-Apr-2025 16:28:47 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\<website>\wp-content\plugins\responsive-video-embed\wrve.php on line 80
Aside from that, it’s a solid plugin – does exactly what it promises, simple and lightweight. It would be nice if developer will update it.
Simple and work without edit existing video embedded!
