How do I embed videos from Coub?

With this plugin you can use the URL to embed videos. Just paste the video URL into your post editor:
https://coub.com/view/4211j

How do I set custom dimensions to my videos?

Since WordPress 4.2, you can double click the embedded item to set max width and max height. It will add the WordPress [embed] shortcode:
[embed width=”600″ height=”400″]https://coub.com/view/4211j[/embed]

Note: Doing it the WordPress way, using the [embed] shortcode, is backwards and forward compatible, and it works with all the themes.

For advanced customization, use [coub id=""] shortcode with the following attributes:

  • id (required) – item id.
  • width – item width.
  • height – item height.
