Brightcove and Youtube embed code in Wordpress MU

August 25th, 2008 Mark

By default Wordpress MU does not allow embed code even when using the HTML post feature. This is different from singe Wordpress instances that do allow embedding.

The fix: Edit wp-include/kses.php. In that file search for “Post filtering” and then comment out the following lines:

// Post filtering
//add_filter(’content_save_pre’, ‘wp_filter_post_kses’);

Please note this will affect all blog instances within the Wordpress MU installation.
