MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software that powers many websites, including Wikipedia. It can be a useful tool for creating collaborative knowledge bases, but integrating MediaWiki into WordPress can be tricky. In this guide, we'll explore how to embed MediaWiki pages into WordPress using a plugin.
Here's how to do it:
-
Install and activate the Mediawiki Embed plugin in WordPress. You can do this by going to the "Plugins" section of your WordPress dashboard, searching for "Mediawiki Embed", and clicking "Install Now" and "Activate".
-
Once the plugin is installed and activated, navigate to the post or page where you want to embed a MediaWiki page.
-
In the editor, click the "Add Mediawiki" button in the toolbar. This will open a popup window where you can enter the URL of the MediaWiki page you want to embed.
-
Enter the URL of the MediaWiki page you want to embed and click "Embed". You can also customize the size of the embedded page if you want.
-
Once you've embedded the page, you can preview it by clicking "Preview" in the editor.
