Yes! The Simplecast Short-code plugin will enable you to embed the Simplecast Standard Web Player on Wordpress.org (self-hosted) & WordPress VIP Go (enterprise hosting) websites.

  • To install the Simplecast WordPress short code plugin on Wordpress.org website, visit  https://github.com/simplecastapps/wordpress-plugin and download the simplecast.zip file.

  • Login to your Wordpress.org website and upload the Simplecast.zip file plug-in, and activate the plugin.

  • Once you have installed and activated the plugin, you’ll be able to add the short code to any of your site’s content (pages/posts, etc). 

  • The short code looks like this:
    [simplecast-embed src="copy/paste Embed Short Link here"]
