Отличный плагин

Отлично работает и в новой 4.0 версии WP

Best out there

by chrislachance·12 years ago

I tried 2 others. One of them didn’t like multiple Flash movies running on the same page, the other was stopped by WordPress Firewall. This one worked quickly & simply, first shot. The only thing that could make this better is a quick way to add the items via a button on the editor.

Thanks!
