NameDescription
WP_Embed::__constructConstructor
WP_Embed::autoembedPasses any unlinked URLs that are on their own line to WP_Embed::shortcode() for potential embedding.
WP_Embed::autoembed_callbackCallback function for WP_Embed::autoembed().
WP_Embed::cache_oembedTriggers a caching of all oEmbed results.
WP_Embed::delete_oembed_cachesDeletes all oEmbed caches. Unused by core as of 4.0.0.
WP_Embed::find_oembed_post_idFinds the oEmbed cache post ID for a given cache key.
WP_Embed::get_embed_handler_htmlReturns embed HTML for a given URL from embed handlers.
WP_Embed::maybe_make_linkConditionally makes a hyperlink based on an internal class variable.
WP_Embed::maybe_run_ajax_cacheIf a post/page was saved, then output JavaScript to make an Ajax request that will call WP_Embed::cache_oembed().
WP_Embed::register_handlerRegisters an embed handler.
WP_Embed::run_shortcodeProcesses the shortcode.
WP_Embed::shortcodeThe do_shortcode() callback function.
WP_Embed::unregister_handlerUnregisters a previously-registered embed handler.
