About this plugin
Image Hotspots by Pleaseup is a responsive image hotspot plugin that lets you add interactive image maps, tooltips, and annotations to any image with a visual drag & drop editor. Fully compatible with Elementor (free and Pro), the Gutenberg block editor, and ACF — no add-on required.
External services
This plugin contacts third-party services in two distinct flows. Both flows are triggered only by an authenticated editor (with edit_posts ) pasting a URL inside a tooltip; no data leaves the site automatically.
Server-side oEmbed resolution ( wp_oembed_get )
When the editor pastes a URL from one of the supported oEmbed providers into a tooltip, the plugin calls the provider’s oEmbed endpoint server-side via WordPress core’s wp_oembed_get() to retrieve the embed HTML. The URL pasted by the editor is sent to the provider; no other data is sent. Supported providers:

Client-side iframe rendering
g. com ). This is standard browser behavior for any embedded media; the plugin does not add any tracking on top.
The set of allowed iframe hosts is filterable via the wphs_allowed_iframe_hosts filter. Hosts not in the allowlist are stripped from tooltip HTML on save.
