[Plugin: Youtube shortcode] It screwed up my Dashboard

I keep researching but I think I’ve already found the issue.

kewl glad to be of help. when you do find the solution please let me know, i am guessing its as easy as uploading a file or changing a path location.

Umm…it’s not going to be that easy I’m afraid.
I must test and change quite a few things to avoid that 404 error under every possible scenario.
I’ll let you know!

One last favor: Could you paste the contents of your .htaccess file?

# mod_rewrite in use
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Make this test (I promise this is the last thing I’ll request you to do):

1) Make a backup of the .htaccess content
2) Remove this code from it & save the file:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

3) Restore the plugin mod we did earlier so it looks like this:

// Register our TinyMCE Script
function add_tinymce_button_script($plugin_array) {
	$plugin_array['YoutubeShortcodeMargenn'] = plugins_url('tinymcebutton.js.php?params='.$this->get_pop_up_params(), __FILE__);
	return $plugin_array;
}

4) Test again the visual editor

If I’m right the Youtube button should appear.

Note that you must clear the browser cache every time you want to test this.

Even with the modifications to the .htaccess file it is still a no go. Below you will see the two console errors. The .htaccess modifications I made are not interfering with it cause it is not checking for “params=”

OK, thank you!!

I’m modifying the plugin.

I’ll let you know when it’s done. However, I’d like you to test it before release so how should I send you the modified plugin?

I will gladly test it for you. As soon as I see the email with modifications I will do it and get back to you so you can release it asap. Glad I can be of some assistance.

Sorry didnt notice how you where asking to send it to me, I have added a file upload piece to my contact form, if you would like you can use that.

Email sent!

Deactivated Plugin, Uploaded new files and overwrote ones that already existed, re-activated plugin, edited a post in visual mode. Able to see everything including the youtube button now. Looks like the modifications where a success.

Great! Thanks for your patience!

I will send you another version, probably tomorrow, to test some improvements in your “hostile environment” ??

Thanks again,
Tubal
