Embed Wistia Vid
To use Plugin install and then on page you wish to place the Wistia Vid put shortcode [wistiavid id=xxxxx] xxxxx being the Wistia Video ID, this can be found in the URL of the video on Wistia.
Eg. http://smallbusinesswebsites.wistia.com/medias/q509p384zl
The ID of this video is q509p384zl therefore the shortcode for the video is [wistiavid id=q509p384zl] as found on this page:

Why I did this?
The Wistia Plugin caused me great pains. I tried a few other code snippet plugins, but they then caused issues with “other” plugins.
Known issues:
– “Add this” plugin can cause an error with conflicts in Jquery or Wistia JS files

Future developments:
– Player customisation
– Social Sharing tools
– Call to action plugin
– More control over email capture plugin
Advanced Users Only:
Feel free to edit code to make this work for you.
Just go to “embed builder” in Wistia, set up video how you want it.
Select Embed Type: Inline
Show advanced options
– Select API
You will see the section:
“
<
script>
wistiaEmbed = “
Duplicate this in the wistiavid.php file function PlaceWistiaVid($args) – be sure to watch the commas
