Little bit of background, i am recreating a current wordpress.com website in wordpress.org so the owner can make any changes they want. I completed most of the design and was starting to import data from the old site. A lot of blog posts had the following shortcode in it
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQKUQiY2LVA]
This doesn’t work in wordpress.org though. So my question is, is their a way to make this shortcode actually work and doesnt require to rewrite every blogpost with a video?
I would check out this wordpress.com page about youtube embedding.
Seems like you only have to change a little formatting, wordpress.com uses a similar shortcode.
Just open your .sql file in an editor and perform a search and replace.
