Enable oEmbed Discovery

The plugin doesn’t seem to be working unless I have missed something?

Wordpress version 2.9, plugin installed, only one user (admin created on installation of wordpress)

Youtube urls are not converted, ebmed shortcode has no efffect.

Deactivating plugin results in blank admin screen and does NOT deactivate plugin. Only way to deactivate is to manually delete form plugin folder

Ok, plugin works, but cannot be uninstalled without crashing admin screen and even if uninstalled does not deactivate.

I have manually deleted the plugin from the plugin folder and yet the embed feature still works even though plugin is not present. Which sort of renders the security reasons for not auto enabling this feature in wordpress moot.

OK I am realising where my error lies. It stems from this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.9

which says the following about the embed feature: “Easier Embeds with oEmbed support (see Ticket #10337) (crippled by default, use plugin to enable it) ”

Which would seem to indicate that the whole embed feature is crippled when in fact its just the discovery feature (they really could have explained that better) and this plugin is only needed for discovery. (which, in fairness, is what the plugins page in the repository says about the plugin)

anyway I had the wrong starting assumption, my apologies for any confusion I caused. I was looking for the wrong indicators the plugin worked. disregard all my previous comments.

Just the addition of one word : Discovery : would be enough

Easier Embeds with oEmbed support (see Ticket #10337) ( –discovery– crippled by default, use plugin to enable it)

The lack of that one word threw me. Of course if I had paid closer attention to what YOUR plugin page said I would have caught the error (colour me sheepish)
