As you are using URLs from oEmbed provides (YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, etc), I would use wp_oembed_get() function. This function uses oEmbed and tries to get the embed HTML of the provided URL. $embed = wp_oembed_get( $some_url ); if( $embed ) { echo $embed; } else { // The embed HTML couldn’t be fetched }
This should do it and also remove <p> tags from images that are linked. Why it removes it from only one <script> instance is hard to tell. Would have to see your website code to investigate further. // Remove p tags from images, scripts, and iframes. function remove_some_ptags( $content ) { $content = preg_replace(‘/<p>\s*(<a .*>)?\s*(<img … Read more
Welcome to WordPress StackExchange. This is really an HTML/CSS question rather than a WordPress specific one, so you will have better luck getting a quick answer in the future by posting to another StackExchange site, such as Stack Overflow. However, your issue should be fixed if you set a percent as the width, rather than … Read more
You need a media player. WordPress (and more importantly your server) doesn’t know how to play media unless you’ve got it in via HTML5. You can use plugins like Viper’s Video Quicktags which can parse it for you.
I wrote a post on how to do this a while back. Might help. http://ottopress.com/2011/howto-html5-video-that-works-almost-everywhere/
You’re probably best off using echo apply_filters( ‘the_content’, html_entity_decode( $monster_tiny_1 ) ); instead of echo wpautop(html_entity_decode($monster_tiny_1)); and similar, which will run the autoembed behavior.
You can for example: Copy the YouTube shortcode from the old theme to your new theme. Locate the line (most likely in the functions.php file): add_shortcode( ‘youtube’, ‘some_function’ ); and copy this line and the some_function() to your functions.php in your new theme or better yet – create a new plugin file including: /*Plugin Name: … Read more
Did you know you can just copy paste a youtube URL onto its own line and it transforms into a video player auto-magically via oembed? There’s no need for embed codes/shortcodes/plugins Simply create a blank line, and take the address of the youtube video and paste it into the editor: These youtube videos should not … Read more
Although CURL requests will work, you should use wp_remote_post() to do requests to external pages, especially if you are writing a plugin or theme. (Plugin review doesn’t like CURL requests; they will ask you to convert to wp_remote_post(). See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_remote_post . The return value includes the header and all content of the request. You can … Read more
That would be because they’re using oEmbed, not a shortcode. You should use the function the_content() to render the content of a post, as it applies all the things required to make embeds, shortcodes, etc work properly. If for some reason that’s not an option, you can apply the content filter. <?php echo apply_filters( ‘the_content’, … Read more
