This plugin might hide other custom classic editor buttons, (e.g. from Prismatic) or your own. I’ve implemented a custom button, and it didn’t show until I disabled this plugin. Furthermore, it generates some warnings in logs like: [27-Apr-2025 16:28:47 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\<website>\wp-content\plugins\responsive-video-embed\wrve.php on line 80 Aside from that, it’s a solid plugin – does exactly what it promises, simple and lightweight. It would be nice if developer will update it.
