afternoon ruben; the new version of wp youtube lyte (1.0.0!) now supports parsing manual excerpts. hope you like it!

OK Ruben; the wordpress automatic excerpt-function strips out too much for wp-youtube-lyte to function.

you can however add the httpv-URL (and some text) in excerpt-field beneath your text in post/page edit (if it’s not there, you can make it visible in “screen options”).

if you do that, and have “add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘lyte_parse’, 4);” in wp-youtube-lyte.php (right under the same line with (“the_content”), then you’ll have your wp-youtube-lyte vid in your excerpt all right.

this will, one way or another, indeed be in 1.0.0 (but the manual excerpt will be needed).

hope this helps!

I’ve started working on 1.0.0, I’ll look into parsing the excerpt and might include a fix for that if possible.

I edited the core file of the plugin with that:
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’,'lyte_parse’,4) but nothin has changed. On excerpts it doesn’t parse.

Morning Ruben; this is because WP YouTube Lyte is only active for “content” (i.e. the full post/page), not for “excerpts”. Shouldn’t be to hard to add it though, if you feel adventurous you could;

open wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/wp-youtube-lyte.php
go to the line that reads “add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘lyte_parse’, 4);”
add a new line underneath: “add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘lyte_parse’, 4);” (or get_the_excerpt, could both work)
save & close

Let me know how that works out, this might land in 1.0.0 if it does

hi abzahri; a pity the new version doesn’t work for you, but I can’t really see what’s wrong, everything seems to work? what doesn’t work exactly for you?
