WP_Embed::shortcode() WordPress Method

The WP_Embed::shortcode() method is used to handle the [embed] shortcode. This shortcode is used to embed content from external sources into a WordPress post or page. The WP_Embed::shortcode() method accepts two arguments: the content to be embedded and an array of attributes. The content to be embedded can be either a URL or a WordPress post ID. The array of attributes can be used to specify the width and height of the embedded content.

WP_Embed::shortcode( array $attr, string $url = '' ) #

The do_shortcode() callback function.


Description

Attempts to convert a URL into embed HTML. Starts by checking the URL against the regex of the registered embed handlers. If none of the regex matches and it’s enabled, then the URL will be given to the WP_oEmbed class.
