Livid – Video Hosting

Changelog

1.1.1

  • Detect Elementor Video widgets whose Vimeo embed was pasted as a full <iframe> into the URL field (the vimeo_url or youtube_url setting), and widgets where video_type isn’t set to “vimeo”. Previously these were skipped because we required a clean Vimeo URL — now we extract the ID from the embed like Elementor itself does. Elementor’s stock placeholder video is ignored so YouTube/Dailymotion widgets aren’t migrated by mistake. Also tightens the diagnostics report: Elementor’s derived stats/cache meta are excluded from the results, and excerpts of structured fields are longer so the full widget is captured.

1.1.0

  • Add a one-click diagnostics report (Settings → Livid) that scans the whole site for Vimeo references and downloads a JSON report you can send to support. It pinpoints where each video lives — including page builders, widgets, custom fields, and other plugins’ data the migration doesn’t reach — so we can track down videos the migration misses. The report is read-only, takes excerpts from live content only (never revisions, trash, or drafts), and excludes passwords and customer data.

1.0.13

  • chore: tidy the wp.org listing metadata — drop the Contributors line from readme.txt (it linked to an unrelated livid account) and correct the manual-install path to /wp-content/plugins/livid-video-hosting/ to match the shipped slug.

1.0.12

  • Published to the WordPress.org plugin directory. The self-hosted download now installs to wp-content/plugins/livid-video-hosting/ to match the wp.org slug, so a site can switch to the listing and keep updating in place.

1.0.11

  • Fix: WordPress admin now displays the correct plugin version.

1.0.10

  • Fix: migrated Gutenberg embeds no longer inherit stale aspect-ratio classes that made them render at roughly double height.

1.0.6

  • Fix: the Livid Video block toolbar and outline now appear when hovering anywhere over the player, not just its outer edge.

1.0.5

  • New: Elementor support — a first-class Livid Video widget, plus Vimeo migration for Elementor pages (Vimeo Video widgets convert in place; HTML and Text Editor widgets keep their type with iframe sources swapped).

1.0.4

  • New: Livid Video Gutenberg block.

1.0.3

  • Fix: corrected Livid API URLs.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
  • Livid oEmbed provider registration.
  • Vimeo embed scanning (raw iframes, Gutenberg embed blocks, bare URLs, shortcodes, and shortcodes).
  • Background migration via Action Scheduler.
  • Livid API integration with signed manifests.
