Welcome to EmbedPress

PublishPress is the WordPress cousin to Joomlashack, which has been around for 11 years now.

WordPress supports around 35 media sources.

The EmbedPress plugin adds support for over 40 more, including popular sources for social media, maps, video, audio, charts and documents.

The long-term goal of EmbedPress is to allow you to embed ANYTHING in WordPress with just a URL.

We’re starting with Facebook, Google Maps, Google Docs and many others.
