This project is available for forking on GitHub:

Embed GitHub Gists into WordPress. Provides a shortcode for posts and pages but also has the ability to embed by hand in the event that a Gist needs to be embedded somewhere in the page that does not pass through the shortcode filters.

Examples:

[gist id=546764]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt bump=1]
[gist]http://gist.github.com/546764[/gist]

Cache is implemented with the Transients API to minimize delay on loading content. Default TTL (time to live) is 86400 seconds or one day.

Upcoming features:

  • Option for setting default TTL
  • Option to bypass cache entirely
  • Implement admin interface to control options
