* I am using this plugin for more than a year now, thanks XNAU!
* But now I have a problem with the (embedded object) video-code in my records
in the rich – text-area’s. before I could put some embed code there and save
the record, and the video was showing in the single_record view. Perfect! See
example: [http://www.kringloop-info.nl/uitgebreide-winkel-info/?pdb=3103](http://www.kringloop-info.nl/uitgebreide-winkel-info/?pdb=3103)
* But…
1. When I re-save a record with some objectcode, the code is completely
gone! and … 2. I am not able to put the code back or
* 3. I cannot use the button for embedded media?
* When editing the screen shows the (yellow) embed video, but after saving it’s
gone…
* Is the code stripped out by the Participants Database plugin? And more important:
what is the solution for my problem?
* Thanks a lot.

* Hi Anna,
* What were you using for your embed code?
* Even in the old version, it was not possible to add an iframe embed, so I’m curious
how you are doing your video embedding. Are you using another plugin for video
embeds?

* Oh no, not a plugin, just paste .
* I use the TinyMCE Advanced editor (plugin) on rich text fields.

* Ah, I see. OK, what will work once the next update is out is to use the standard
WordPress way to add a video clip: just put in the URL, like this:
* `http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`
* Or whatever the video link happens to be.
* This won’t work in rich text fields until 1.5.2 is released tomorrow sometime.
* You won’t be able to use `
