Video embed is the least of your worries. Just looked at the source code of your webpage, looks like you’ve been hacked,

@ajshanahan please provide a throwaway username and password (delete after you resolve this issue) so we won’t have to register.

== it “remembers” the unwanted changes i first did and now i want to disappear. ==

– What unwanted changes?
– Do you have a bp-custom.php file in your plugins directory? Did you back up and delete that?
– Do you have bb-config.php file in the root of your WP installation (where you’ll find the wp-config.php file)? Did you also backup and delete that as well?

See the xx_bb_xx (BP group forums) and xx_bp_xx () in single and WP multisite DB’s at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/
– backup your database and delete tables

@capnmarrrrk please clarify your site’s structure.

– You have no site at domain root, webfactional.com
– I see WP installed at micro.webfactional.com with Site Title, “My Site”, and this is a multisite installation
– I see another and separate WP site installed in subdirectory of micro.webfactional.com at http://micro.webfactional.com/sydney/ with Site Title, “My Blog” and the link would go to micro.webfactional.com, that’s expected
– Do you have a page named sydney at micro.webfactional.com?

Re video on http://frankyuyan.com/the-blenz-coffee-guy-on-success-his-inspiring-speech

– Why is there an iframe of your site at the end of the post under “Here is the video:”?
– To post a video, you only need to paste the link like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBGF_j7S4I and it will show up.
– Then, if you still want to add a text link to your video,: type the text, highlight it and click on the link icon and add the link to the video in pop-up box. Save/Update.

There are two iFeature themes – one free (WP Theme Repo) and the other premium (Other WP Themes) – I’ve helped out in this area. Look at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ for the link to the theme you’re making compatible with BP

== So is site wide forums installed or is this a bug? How do I uninstall site wide forums? ==

The site wide forums is your bbPress plugin installation. They are one and the same.

== I thought site wide forums would allow my main site to have forums, is this assumption incorrect? Do I need to install bbPress on my main site? ==

If you have BuddyPress installed in main site, you just need to add the link to your bbPress plugin page to your menu. Did you already configure your bbPress plugin forum slug?

Please read this Codex article about the two kinds of bbPress forums we can choose use with BuddyPress and how to install one or both forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

When you use both Group Forums and Sitewide Forums, only one of them can use “forums” as slug/page-name, the other must use a different page name/slug. Read https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Post in one forum for the same topic. Closing this duplicate
Answered you at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/significant-buddypress-video-embedding-problem-1/

The youtube link you posted goes to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBGF_j7S4I and when I posted the link in my test site, it worked.

@shawn38 Remember that BuddyPress is FREE software. When you make a request for help here, no-one is being paid to help, or answer you. You are entitled to use the software but you have no right to demand immediate assistance nor get cranky if you do not get it.

Being polite is extremely important, especially to those who do help here. Hitting core developers with negative remarks or bumping your topic is not kosher. Avatars are registered online when we’re logged in the anywhere else in the site aside from the forums.

Please remain civil in this forum. Closing this topic.

@words2us strikethrough the text did give the impression that you wanted to delete the HTML tags. If you want to change the text, add the following instead to your theme’s functions.php file

`add_filter( ‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘mme_change_default_html’);

function mme_change_default_html ( $default ) {
$default = ‘

Check out BuddyPress.

‘;
return $default;
}`

I’ll check it out, are you using custom theme?

Everyone on the BuddyPress project are volunteers, so I’d give it at least a day for a response. That method of filter will only allow one type to be filtered.

Check this example of writing a function to filter results: http://blog.etiviti.com/2010/02/buddypress-hack-remove-new-member-registration-from-activity-stream/

Thanks for posting about the plugin conflict.
Yes, it saves time to make sure that the plugins you install are compatible with the latest WP/BP versions.

If renaming the BuddyPress folder in /plugins did not work for you, then rename the plugins folder itself t0 eg. /plugins-xx

Simple way: create a favicon.ico file and upload to the root of your WP installation. Then copy over header.php from bp-default theme add the following under “:
“
Save revised header.php and upload to server into your child theme’s folder

EDIT – the `"` in the link should be `”`

Glad you resolved this. Server hiccups arrghh
