…and I realized that even though WordPress embeds videos, Smart Youtube is still really valuable, because it effectively turns the video into the equivalent of a featured image on excerpts. Very neat.

I resolved this accientally by changing my theme, so it must have been a theme conflict.

I resolved this, finally. It must have been a theme conflict, because when I changed my theme, the problem went away.

I have upgraded Jetpack and still have the same problem. Anyone?

Now using Jetpack

You can use the Jetpack plugin, its Comments function allows you to change “Leave a Reply” to anything you like.

For instance, on this site, I changed it to “Love this dancer? Tell us why!”

I’d love to join that forum, but it won’t accept payment from my Paypal account – I assume because it’s Australian – and no one will answer my emails. Frustrating.

Mine has been resolved.

Make sure you clear your cache EVERY time before you test it. I also had a support chat and it didn’t work until I cleared my cache.

Me too! Glad I found this thread. Can someone be more specific about what I have to ask Hostgator to do? Will they know what Imean if I just say “please fix the mod_security”?

I got a reply from the developer, which is basically to change every single link to a new shortcode – not practical on several blogs and hundreds of posts.

Anyone know of a Youtube plugin that will recognize the httpv prefix? Or any other ideas?

I’m beginning to think no one is supporting this plugin any more.

A pity, because it’s been a great resource which I’ve been using for ages.

I just ran some of my blogs through the markup checker:

https://validator.w3.org/

and ALL my errors are coming from Smart Youtube.

I’ve found this to be the case with most social sharing plugins. It’s frustrating trying to find one that’s lightweight.

I’ve found GetSocial is pretty good, but it’s a bit buggy – sometimes refuses to display a button or two etc.

I’m using 3.3 and Smart Youtube is working just fine, except for one little problem.

I use httpv:

The only thing that’s happening for me is that in post excerpts, the Youtube URL is displayed. It’s annoying because it looks unprofessional.

Sorry, I’m completely bamboozled by the markup explanations, even though I’ve read the verbose stuff and read through all the linked explanations too.

According to the markup, almost everything about this code is wrong:

<a href='https://ameraspalace.com.au'><img src="https://bellydanceoz.com/wp-content/uploads/ameraspalace.png"border="0" height="572" width="186"</a>

It’s highlighting the opening quote mark before http, the bracket before img, the bracket before the final /a, the bracket after the final /a

In another section, it picks up the “h” of “http” and in another error, the second slash in https://

How can those be wrong?

Is there anywhere this stuff is actually explained?

Question – if there is an ampersand (&) in the code in a sidebar widget, do I need to manually change it to &amp
