ReelsElement

• Admin menu "Reels": upload the original video, choose the start second, click "Process" — ffmpeg cuts a desktop preview (480×854), a phone preview (406×720) and a WebP cover. Then publish.
• Drag & drop order in the Reels list.
• Elementor widget "ReelsElement" and shortcode [reels_element title="" subtitle="" limit="12"].
• Only previews near the screen are loaded; only visible ones play, muted. Click opens the original reel in a new tab.
• WooCommerce (optional): products per reel, "View product" button; WPML: products in the page language, widget texts translatable.
• WP Rocket: the home page cache is purged when reels change (hook reels_element_changed for other caches).
• Settings: MCG Plugins → ReelsElement.

Requirements

ffmpeg/ffprobe on the server and exec() available to WP-Cron. Best with a system cron running wp-cron via PHP CLI (DISABLE_WP_CRON).
