The easiest way to share your favorite content from sites like YouTube, Flickr, Hulu and more on your BuddyPress network.
oEmbed for BuddyPress utilizes WordPress’ own oEmbed class, so by default, you can share content from the following sites:
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>Blip.tv</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>DailyMotion</li>
<li>Flickr</li>
<li>Hulu</li>
<li>Viddler</li>
<li>Qik</li>
<li>Revision3</li>
<li>Photobucket</li>
<li>Scribd</li>
<li>WordPress.tv</li>
</ul>
How do you use the plugin? Simple! Input any URL from one of the listed sites above into an activity update or forum post in BuddyPress.
When the update is posted, the URL automagically transforms into the embedded content.
<h3>Technical info</h3>
Because oEmbed for BuddyPress checks each link to see if it is oEmbeddable, for performance reasons, each link is cached in the database to reduce redundant oEmbed requests.
The cached entry is either the embed code (if the link is oEmbeddable) or the failed link.
Whitelist feature
By default, the plugin whitelists hyperlinks and URLs residing on the same domain as BuddyPress.
The cool thing is you can extend the whitelist.
For example, in an activity update, say you type in “http://www.google.com”, the plugin will cache that link in the database. Say you wanted to omit Google.com links from being cached.
Open <code>bp-oembed-config.php</code> in a text editor and add the following line to the end:
<pre><code>$bp_oembed['whitelist'][] = 'google.com';
</code></pre>
This will whitelist all links from google.com.
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>
array_map() warning is displayed – this is a BuddyPress issue, which is fixed in the latest bleeding version of BuddyPress (https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2747)
</li>
<li>
When a forum post is deleted, the oEmbed forum post cache in bbPress isn’t deleted (<a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/does-deleting-a-forum-post-delete-the-related-bb_meta-as-well" rel="nofollow ugc">appears to be a bbPress issue</a>)
</li>
<li>
Hyperlinks with single quotes get mangled (if you’re a regex expert, I could use your help!)
</li>
</ul>
eg. <code><a href='http://buddypress.org'>BuddyPress</a></code>
<ul>
<li>Hyperlinking an oEmbeddable link and inputting the same link in plain text will show the oEmbeddable item three times (two times if using anchor text) (not many people will do this)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Future versions</h3>
<ul>
<li>Implement AutoEmbed.com API fallback if oEmbed fails (will be an option)</li>
<li>Fix known issues 😉</li>
</ul>

Content Cards make ordinary web links great by making it possible to embed a beautiful Content Card to link to any web site.
By using OpenGraph data, Content Cards grabs the title, description and associated image to the links you embed – it’s similar to how you can embed other websites, such as YouTube, Twitter, SoundCloud and more.
For individual links, You can insert a Content Card via shortcode <code>[contentcards url="http://yoursite.com/article-1"]</code>. If you often use Content Cards for some website, you can register the domain name (for example: <code>yoursite.com</code>) as an oEmbed provider via Plugin’s Settings page and then it will behave the same way other oEmbed providers do – you will just have to paste plaintext link to a separate paragraph an Content Card will be generated automatically.
