Hi! I am new to H5P. Can anyone tell me why the "Add H5P" button is not visible in the wordpress text-editor toolbar. I am using wordpress version 5.1.

Hi Ravii!

If you're using the Gutenberg editor that was introduced in WordPress 5.0: There's still some work to be done to "convert" the old button to the new editor. You can still use the short codes to include H5P content though.

Cheers,

Hi Ravii!

In a nutshell: WordPress recently got a new editor that requires to change some of the code of the H5P plugin before it will show the button again.

If you have a look at the H5P content that you have created, you will see a box bearing the label "shortcode". It will give you the, well, shortcode that you can paste into your post's text where the H5P interaction will appear. It will look something like [H5P id="1"].

Best,

Oliver

No Shortcodes

Shortcodes don't work for me, I'm afraid. I see nothing related to H5P in the shortcode selector, and if I type [H5P id="1"] (yes, my course id is '1') then it just shows "[H5P id="1"]" when published. I'm OK using the H5P embed code for the time being, but that button would be nice.

Hi Neil,I've been playing

Hi Neil,

I've been playing with this and I noticed that if you are adding the shortcode using the "shortcode" option it will not work. You need to use the add code option in the editor.
