 * Hi there – some time ago y0ou mentioned you were working on a shortcode embed
   option.
 * This would open it up for use in many page builders (currently not working in
   Enfold for example).
 * Did anything come of this?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * No, there’s been no progress on this.
 * The issue is that traditional shortcodes will strip any output, so the embed 
   script will not then work – hence why the current method was used.
 * When using a page builder, do you still have access to the custom meta boxes 
   in the editor?

 * I do – but in the case of enfold their “Code” element simply returns your {{CODE}}
   rather than rendering the media player I am embedding, so a shortcode (which 
   it supports) would be a lot more flexible in this case. Not necessarily so for
   all the other buildewrs of course so understand the effort/reward ratio not great.
   Thanks.

 * I understand. Using any other method, I have to look at specific content which,
   for builders, is non-standard. Shortcodes work on most of these, though but… 
   as I say, strip code. I’ll have to do some digging into WordPress core to see
   if it’s possible.
