Hi,

I am using BBPRESS for my website, I checked this option from backend:

“Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies”

but only administrator can embed youtube and other embed just reflect the IFRAME code.

can you help what I am missing, I need it to be allowed for CONTRIBUTORS to embed the youtube embed code.

Thanks Sanny

Just place the url of the video and it should automatically embed.

[@sanny_rss Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks for your response but it only outputs the youtube link not the embeded youtube with its player.

[@robkk Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

as long as you have embed media checked

and also a full hyperlink from youtube.

then it should work.

did you add the iframe code into ‘text editor’?
it won’t work if you put it into ‘visual’ tab

[@sanny_rss Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Yeah I tried both, nowhere it seems to be working. Only work if I post it as admin.

i found it somewhere on the web that users cannot use iframe code because wordpress prohibits it for the sake of security. -it says that – if they r allowed to use iframe codes, they might be able to attack you –
