We'll create fresh WordPress site with Embed Wistia Vid installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
To use Plugin install and then on page you wish to place the Wistia Vid put shortcode [wistiavid id=xxxxx] xxxxx being the Wistia Video ID, this can be found in the URL of the video on Wistia.
Eg. http://smallbusinesswebsites.wistia.com/medias/q509p384zl
The ID of this video is q509p384zl therefore the shortcode for the video is [wistiavid id=q509p384zl] as found on this page:

Why I did this?
The Wistia Plugin caused me great pains. I tried a few other code snippet plugins, but they then caused issues with “other” plugins.
Known issues:
– “Add this” plugin can cause an error with conflicts in Jquery or Wistia JS files

Future developments:
– Player customisation
– Social Sharing tools
– Call to action plugin
– More control over email capture plugin
Advanced Users Only:
Feel free to edit code to make this work for you.
Just go to “embed builder” in Wistia, set up video how you want it.
Select Embed Type: Inline
Show advanced options
– Select API
You will see the section:
“
<
script>
wistiaEmbed = “
Duplicate this in the wistiavid.php file function PlaceWistiaVid($args) – be sure to watch the commas
