Currently, Wordpress automatically embeds YouTube videos. I read you work in an addon for embeds multitude of services, something very interesting. But, on the other hand, you could not enable the original WP embed function for YouTube?
I want to start to migrate to WP Foro, but without YouTube is difficult. To start (to start...) I not need a media player, or insert other services, but YouTube is basic in a forum, and the embed of WordPress works great.
Thanks! 🙂
seems like we have a solution.
Can you guys share what exactly does this modification do? Does it work all across wp-foro?
Just put this code in active WordPress theme's functions.php:
add_filter('wpforo_content_after', 'wpforo_custom_video_embed', 10);
function wpforo_custom_video_embed( $content ){
$paterns = array();
$paterns[] = "/<a[^><]+>\s*[a-zA-Z\/\/:\.]*youtube.com\/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)([a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\_\?\&\;\%\=\.]*)/i";
$paterns[] = "/<a[^><]+>\s*[a-zA-Z\/\/:\.]*youtu.be\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)([a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\_\?\&\;\%\=\.]*)/i";
$content = preg_replace($paterns, "<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"280\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/$1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>", $content);
return $content;
}
For more embedding options I recommend wpForo Embeds addon:
This method no longer seems to work still works with wpforo v1.5.1
I was previously using this hack to embed youtube, now it has stopped working for me....
UPDATE: found my issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJkWirlcLaA . <-- Works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=21&v=EJkWirlcLaA . <-- Does not work, stripped out "time_continue=21&" and its working now, so clearing just a formatting issue.
Hello @robert, nice the code that you gave us but, how can i do the same with Loom.com? Im trying to do the same that you explained with youtube but with loom.
I'm sorry but I have no solution for this video hosting. I'd recommend check out the wpForo Embeds addon. As far as I see it supports Loom: https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-embeds/
All working now 🙂 thanks to all. Used your instructions Robert 🙂
I have two questions about the code that was added in Step 1.
I'm getting <Va> after the insert of the video. Re-checked my files and found no typos.
Second part is what if the user is posting with the short URL from YouTube
