Hello

When I post a link to a You tube video in a forum post there is no embedding. Instead there is a link to the video over at Youtube.

In forum settings I have the box ticked to embed.

An example is here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/promo-video-for-25th-anniversary-of-cabaneros-national-park/

Thanks in advance for any help

(I am using latest versions of BBPress and WordPress)

As an update. Youtube videos embed fine in the block editor when creating a new page or post on the site. The issue seems to be just with BBpress and the create topic/Reply editor which uses TinyMCE?

It would be great to be able to watch embedded videos without having to click out to youtube etc.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

From 46 issues in converting my forum to a fully functioning mobile app I am down to this one issue. Good news yes? Sigh! 🙂

I have searched the internet in forums and help sites for bbpress, TinyMCE and Astra theme and cannot find anything similar to my issue.

I have disabled and re enabled plugins to look for conflicts. Tried Chrome, firefox and Edge browsers

Youtube refuses to embed and be visible inside a forum topic.

Any and all ideas welcome 🙂

Then this one didnt: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/goats-and-cheese-in-the-sierra-de-cadiz/
