Would it be possible to add support for oembed? I tried using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/oembed-in-comments/ However, there are some issues: Firstly, all pasted URLs get wrapped in <p> tags so oembed just doesn’t work (I’m guessing this is to do with the wpautop setting). Also, I believe when loading comments through ajax you need to have the global $post variable set, which may not be the case currently. Thanks. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-editor-comments-plus/ Hi RJeady, I’ll take a look and see what it would take to implement. Okay I’ve taken a look at oEmbed in comments and it looks like adding oEmbed support in comments is possible. However, adding oEmbed support in the TinyMCE editor may be more involved. If the way it’s supported by default in the WordPress post editor could be duplicated that could work. I’m not sure how that’s being done though. I’ll add oEmbed support to the features requested list and look into it when I have some time. Cheers. That seems like a fair assessment. Thanks. For what it’s worth, in the previous WordPress version I found a little hack to enable the tinyMCE editor for comments, and this did work with oEmbed. I think that the latest WordPress/TinyMCE version (or the way you’ve implemented it) results in p tags being added more eagerly, which is the main problem. Hope that helps.
