Source code of the commands
wp embed cache clear
Deletes all oEmbed caches for a given post.
oEmbed caches for a post are stored in the post's metadata.
Usage
wp embed cache clear {post_id}
You can specify global options and the following:
- {post_id}
- ID of the post to clear the cache for.
Examples
# Clear cache for a post $ wp embed cache clear 123 Success: Cleared oEmbed cache.
wp embed cache find
Finds an oEmbed cache post ID for a given URL.
Starting with WordPress 4.9, embeds that aren't associated with a specific post will be cached in a new oembed_cache post type. There can be more than one such entry for a url depending on attributes and context.
Not to be confused with oEmbed caches for a given post which are stored in the post's metadata.
Usage
wp embed cache find {url} [--width={width}] [--height={height}] [--discover]
You can specify global options and the following:
- {url}
- URL to retrieve oEmbed data for.
- [--width={width}]
- Width of the embed in pixels. Part of cache key so must match. Defaults to content_width if set else 500px, so is theme and context dependent.
- [--height={height}]
- Height of the embed in pixels. Part of cache key so must match. Defaults to 1.5 * default width (content_width or 500px), to a maximum of 1000px.
- [--discover]
- Whether to search with the discover attribute set or not. Part of cache key so must match. If not given, will search with attribute: unset, '1', '0', returning first.
Examples
# Find cache post ID for a given URL. $ wp embed cache find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --width=500 123
wp embed cache trigger

oEmbed caches for a post are stored in the post's metadata.

- {post_id}
- ID of the post to do the caching for.
Examples
# Triggers cache for a post $ wp embed cache trigger 456 Success: Caching triggered!
wp embed fetch
Attempts to convert a URL into embed HTML.
In non-raw mode, starts by checking the URL against the regex of the registered embed handlers. If none of the regex matches and it's enabled, then the URL will be given to the WP_oEmbed class.
In raw mode, checks the providers directly and returns the data.
Usage
wp embed fetch {url} [--width={width}] [--height={height}] [--post-id={id}] [--discover] [--skip-cache] [--skip-sanitization] [--do-shortcode] [--limit-response-size={size}] [--raw] [--raw-format={json|xml}]
You can specify global options and the following:
- {url}
- URL to retrieve oEmbed data for.
- [--width={width}]
- Width of the embed in pixels.
- [--height={height}]
- Height of the embed in pixels.
- [--post-id={id}]
- Cache oEmbed response for a given post.
- [--discover]
- Enable oEmbed discovery. Defaults to true.
- [--skip-cache]
- Ignore already cached oEmbed responses. Has no effect if using the 'raw' option, which doesn't use the cache.
- [--skip-sanitization]
- Remove the filter that WordPress from 4.4 onwards uses to sanitize oEmbed responses. Has no effect if using the 'raw' option, which by-passes sanitization.
- [--do-shortcode]
- If the URL is handled by a registered embed handler and returns a shortcode, do shortcode and return result. Has no effect if using the 'raw' option, which by-passes handlers.
- [--limit-response-size={size}]
- Limit the size of the resulting HTML when using discovery. Default 150 KB (the standard WordPress limit). Not compatible with 'no-discover'.
- [--raw]
- Return the raw oEmbed response instead of the resulting HTML. Ignores the cache and does not sanitize responses or use registered embed handlers.
- [--raw-format={json|xml}]
Render raw oEmbed data in a particular format. Defaults to json. Can only be specified in conjunction with the 'raw' option.
Can be:
- json
- xml

# Get embed HTML for a given URL. $ wp embed fetch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ <iframe width="525" height="295" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?feature=oembed" ...
