No one has experienced this problem? come on guys. what kind of forum is this that no one can help? smh

No. The problem is not with the WordPress settings. My settings are fine. The problem is with the plugin.

Thanks for getting back to me. I actually tried that before I posted in the forum and it didn’t work. The reason was because I have a function (get_post_vid) that looks in a post and retrieves the first video and displays it on the home page. The videos being retrieved by this function are not part of the excerpt hence the reason it wasn’t working when I added the filter to the excerpt. I simply just put the following line in my home.php file

echo add_video_wmode_transparent(get_post_vid());

and it worked just fine.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the problem is back. I just tried to create a post with the same title of a deleted post and it gave me the 404 error. Anyone know how to solve this problem for good?

I changed the Theme to Twenty Eleven 1.2 and tried to re-create the problem but it seemed fine. I then changed it back to my custom theme and tried to re-create the problem on there as well but it seems to have been fixed. I think switching two the Twenty Eleven theme and trying to create a new post with the title of a deleted post fixed the problem. It’s weird though. Thanks guys for all your help

I tried that and it doesn’t work. Still getting the 404 error…

Thanks Nasir Zia. I tried that already and it works. However, I don’t like that solution. Is there a better one? I mean, this solution only works if you have not permanently deleted the posts. How do I solve this for posts that have been permanently deleted?

The youtube link remains an ordinary URL. It doesn’t substitute it with the embed code as described.

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for this. THEtheChad, I am using your code but I cannot seem to add the filter to the excerpt. Do you know how I can apply this function to the excerpt and not the content?

Hi guys, I tried this plugin as well and it doesn’t work. Has anyone been able to figure out what the problem is?

no I haven’t been able to. and i don’t know why you can’t access the URL. I will look for another one and send it to you later

Yeah sure here you go https://www.mydestination.com/blog/video

Also, I don’t need to use the headspace 2 or robots meta plugin when using this one. Am i correct?

Well, it seems like it is not doing that for some reason. Atleast not all the time. I have tried switching to the default theme and disabling the plugins and the problem is still there

Hi imh_brad,

Thanks for your response. When I do it with the embed code, it works fine always. However, sometimes I just copy and paste the URL from my address bar. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. This is what baffles me because it should either work all the time or not at all. The code is always pasted in the visual editor and not the HTML editor. Should I be pasting it in the HTML editor?

Thanks for your help
