Sometimes text isnβt enough. The Documentation theme fully supports embedded media to make your documentation more interactive and engaging.
π₯ Embedding Videos
- YouTube / Vimeo:
- Simply paste the video URL into the editor.
- WordPress automatically converts it into an embedded player.
- Self-Hosted Videos:
- Use the Video Block.
- Upload your video or select from the media library.
β Mobile responsive out of the box.
π¨ Embedding Figma Files
Showcase live design prototypes:
- Copy the Figma file share URL.
- Use the Embed Block or Figma-specific block (if installed).
- Paste the URL β it will auto-render inside the page.
Tip: Make sure Figma permissions are set to “Anyone with the link can view.”
π» Embedding GitHub Repositories
For technical documentation:
- Paste a GitHub repo link directly into the editor for a neat preview.
- Or embed specific files and gists using the GitHub Gist Block (plugin or manual embed).
π’ Why Use Embedded Media?
- Video tutorials boost comprehension
- Design previews reduce back-and-forth
- Code and project embeds keep everything in one place
π‘ Tip: Keep embeds light. Too many embeds on a single page can slow down loading time.
