How do I embed pastes from Pastebin?

With this plugin you can use the URL to embed pastes. Just paste the item URL into your post editor:
http://pastebin.com/hcv2WRnX

How do I set custom dimensions to my pastes?

Since WordPress 4.2, you can double click the embedded item to set max width and max height. It will add the WordPress [embed] shortcode:
[embed width=”600″ height=”400″]http://pastebin.com/hcv2WRnX[/embed]

Note: Doing it the WordPress way, using the [embed] shortcode, is backwards and forward compatible, and it works with all the themes.

How do I embed pastes with auto width & height?

You can use the Pastebin shortcode to embed pastes that shows full code, full height depending on amount of lines in paste.

[pastebin id="hcv2WRnX"]
