Creating and Cloning Content - WordPress Users

For those using Wordpress, are you creating H5P content via your WP dashboard or on H5P.org?  My questions are:

  • If you create the content within WP, how do you clone your content?  I don't see a "clone" button.
  • If you create your content on H5P.org, can you use an embed code to use it on your WP site, or do you have to download the .hp5 file and then upload it?
  • Is there any benefit or added features of creating the content on H5P.org vs. from within your WP site?

Hi gsimo, 

I'm just going to answer your questions one by one:

  • There isn't a clone button on Wordpress for H5P's yet. You will have to download and then reupload your H5P content to clone it. 
  • If you create content on h5p.org you cand embed it onto your Wordpress site just as you would with a youtube video. You will have to enable iframe embedding first. You can also download and upload the .h5p files as well if you want them locally.
  • I would recommend creating H5P content types on your own site, it may require a bit more work with regards to keeping the plugin up to date but you will have more control over your content. There are around 3000 Wordpress sites actively using H5P so it's quite stable at this point.

Hi Tim, 

Thanks for the feedback.  Is there a feature request or (github request) already submitted for the "WP clone button" or would you like me to create one?

There are a few outstanding requests for a clone button. There isn't an ETA for it yet but hopefully someone from the community could contribute the code.
