Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Vidreelo Shoppable Video Reels version 1.0.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Vidreelo lets you add short, vertical videos to your WordPress site and play them in a beautiful Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts–style full-screen player. Visitors browse a carousel or grid of vertical thumbnails, tap one, and swipe up and down through your videos, just like a social feed.
Each reel can use a YouTube video or a self-hosted MP4, and you can tag products on it (WooCommerce products or manual products) so a “Shop” card appears right on the video. It is perfect for shoppable video, product demos, testimonials, tutorials, and social-style content.
Key Features
One simple shortcode — [vidreelo] shows all your reels.
YouTube or self-hosted videos — choose the source per reel; only the field you need is shown.
Auto-play in the grid — both self-hosted and YouTube reels play muted as they scroll into view.
Instagram Reels–style player — full-screen vertical player with swipe up/down between videos, mute, and play/pause.
Shoppable — tag WooCommerce products (automatic image, title, price, sale price and rating) or manual products (title, price, compare price, image and link). The product shows under the reel and as a “Shop” card in the player.
Carousel or grid layout, columns per device, and accent color.
Widget — drop reels into any widget or block area, no shortcode needed.
Lightweight & self-contained — no external libraries or CDNs, fully responsive, works with any theme.
How to use
Go to Video Reels → Add New Reel.
Pick YouTube or Self-hosted, add the video, and set a Featured Image as the thumbnail.
Optionally tag products under Tagged Products.
Publish, then place the shortcode on any page:
