    HiBrajesh,

    I am getting following error while posting YouTube links under “Add links” option.(being shown as Preview)

    ————————

    There has been an error processing your request
    https://youtu.be/8jeLCQ62vFk
    There has been an error processing your request
    Choose thumbnail
    No thumbnail
    —————————————-

    It was working fine till recently. What could be wrong? is there any way to resolve this? I am using current versions of wordpress& Buddypress(legacy theme)

    The reason why I opt for posting YouTube url under “Add links” option is to display the content with thumbnail & short description.

    Your help would be very much appreciated.

    Binu

    An Update for your information :

    When I installed “BuddyPress Edit Activity”plugin and tried editing the saved activity feed containing error specified above, the code appeared as follows:

    [bpfb_link url=’https://youtu.be/8jeLCQ62vFk’ title=’There has been an error processing your request’ image=”]There has been an error processing your request[/bpfb_link]

    However,while trying to edit the same link which I had posted earlier in the activity feed (which worked without any error)the code appeared as :
    [bpfb_link url=’https://youtu.be/8jeLCQ62vFk’ title=’Transform a Damaged Laptop into an ALL-IN-ONE desktop PC – YouTube’ image=’https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8jeLCQ62vFk/maxresdefault.jpg’%5DIn this video we’ll be transforming an old laptop into an all-in-one PC! Also, regarding Blinkist, the first 100 people to go to http://www.blinkist.com/diyp…%5B/bpfb_link%5D

    Interestingly,when I pasted the above code using edit activity option,it appeared without any error!

    Thank you for reporting the issue and providing the details. I will be looking into it and updating you within 24 hours.

    Hi Brajesh,

    Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear that you are going to update this wonderful plugin.

    I don’t remember making any changes on the server at any point of time.All that I know is that my hosting service provider(Site ground)had recently updated their php version.

    Anyways,I will wait the fix from your end. Have a good day!

    Hi Brajesh,

    Thanks a lot for your attention and prompt support.
    for me ,all other links except video (Youtube & Vimeo)links are working fine.

    These are the screenshots for you to check. https://i.imgur.com/2VwYvWH.jpg , https://i.imgur.com/VOQ3s9b.jpg , https://i.imgur.com/8Fmks3F.jpg , https://i.imgur.com/6iJD8v7.jpg

    I deactivated all plugins other than BuddyPress and Activity Plus Reloaded and Checked;but error still remains. Tried changing over to default WP theme also.

    If problem is with my Wordpres install,what could be causing problem?

    Thanks & Regards

    Binu

    Update,

    I replicated my current website as it is on my Local host and checked. Interestingly,everything worked perfectly, without showing any error!
    Looks like the problem is at my end!
    May be I will try a fresh install of WordPress and BuddyPress on my server as my site is still under development.Hoping that it will resolve the problem.
    If I am able to identify the underlying issue by any chance,I will share it with you.

    Thanks a lot for your time and attention;it meant a lot to me.

    Best Regards,

    Binu
