Embedded video doesn't show up

    Hi Dcooney,

    We have a lot of embedded you-tube videos, and they do not show up as embedded videos when the posts get loaded using the plugin, they just show up as a link. However, when we look at each individual post using permalink, the embedded video shows up in the post. Any ideas why?

    Thanks,
    Sia77

    Are you using a plugin to embed your videos?
    I just tested the standard WordPress youtube video embed and it’s works as expected.

    No, we are not using any plugins. That’s strange.

    Are you calling the_content() or the_excerpt()?

    Do you have hooks or filters in place for the_content()?

    It’s an ajax call. And the response is generated by:

    $content = $content_post->post_content;
    $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
    $content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);

    So I think I’m using the_content(). The thing is that I’m seeing the link to the video, but the link is not being rendered as a embeded video.
    I took that third line out, just in case, and there was no difference.

    Its definitely something in the way the code is being rendered.
    If you use <?php the_content(); ?> in the repeater template it works as expected.

    You are absolutely correct. This has something to do with how the_content() works Vs apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content), and how the latter doesn’t let WordPress do its magic.

    Thanks for taking the time on this.
