### 󠀁[Best tested](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-tested/)󠁿

I tried all the updated plug-ins that allow me to embed live Wikipedia articles 
into my posts, and I like RDP Wiki-Press the best because: (1) it actually updates,(
2) it’s so easy to use; (3) it gives me fine control over how the live embeds look
in each and all posts. Three things I wish I knew how to do: hide those boxes at
the bottom of the page, the way I can hide Infoboxes,* (2) exclude footnotes from
Lightbox, so that clicking on the caret takes you back to footnoted word in the 
page (right now it opens up the page within Lightbox, and Lightbox takes over the
page), and (3) control which widgets appear when a Wikipedia page is called by ?
wikiembed-url=. Thank you RDP for such a useful plugin!

This plugin escapes a one star rating only because it’s the better of the 2 wikipedia
embed plugins I have found. If you only need to embed wikipedia content on a single
page, you’ll probably do fine with it. In my case I needed to used it on numerous
pages in a single site, and I’ve had to put way too much time in to make it work.
On both sites I have it installed in, I’ve had to go into PHPmyAdmin and delete 
tables to make the plugin settings update. The developer has been completely unresponsive
to attempts to get support.
