 * What was the solution? I have the same problem. Videos I’ve had work with other
   themes are not showing in One Page Express.
 * UPDATE: It does work if I give an URL to a YouTube video. If I give an URL to
   an MP4 it doesn’t work. If I select a locally-stored MP4, it does not work. When
   I save and then return to the header settings, if I selected a local video file,
   it will not persist in the settings.

 * Yeah. I found this suspicious function hidden in a **_wordpress-admin-security_**
   plugin as well. I suspect it was somehow side-injected through files on Godaddy’s
   hosting. I’ve run about 5+ wordpress sites for roughly 12 years and have never
   had so many security compromises on a wordpress site until I tried Godaddy’s 
   hosting. But, maybe it was just this particular site. Anyway. +1 to blacklist“
   wordpress-admin-security”.

 * Yeah, I have the exact same problem. Also, I can’t get most of my redirects to
   work. I find I can eventually get them to work, but the settings I’ve put in 
   don’t change, however the redirect works in some cases and not others.. Wtf?

 * I was having these symptoms too. I tried a lot of things such as disabling all
   my plugins and whatnot. It wasn’t plugins, at least not in my plugin directory.
   In my case, my wp site was working fine in general, it just was redirecting to
   infinity when I tried to access `/wp-admin`
 * Turned out it was my use of `define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);` in my `wp-config.
   php`. I’ve commented that out and I’m back in business. I guess that call is 
   defunct or something.

 * Ah haw! I’ve been trying to figure out where the hell ABSPATH is being defined.
   I’m running on Windows and thus for me, ABSPATH on my box looks like:
    `C:\wamp\
   www/`
 * This is resulting in some code in a plugin failing:
    `define("FORMBUILDER_PLUGIN_URL",
   FORMBUILDER_BLOG_URL . str_replace(ABSPATH, "/", FORMBUILDER_PLUGIN_PATH));`
 * As, in this case “FORMBUILDER_PLUGIN_PATH” is coming out as:
    `http://dev0C:\
   wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\formbuilder\`
 * And thus, the ABSPATH string isn’t found in there.
 * /facepalm

 * Okay, I’ve got it.. Thanks to this site: [http://www.iltchev.com/?page_id=11](http://www.iltchev.com/?page_id=11)
 * Just in case that site gets nuked or something here’s the info I used:
 *     ```
       Modify wp-blog-header.php:
   
       ...
       gzip_compression();
   
       //-- Insert BBclone Code from here @
       define("_BBC_PAGE_NAME", get_bloginfo("name") . wp_title("/", false));
       define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "/full/path/to/bbclone/");
       define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR."mark_page.php");
       if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER);
       //-- @ to Here
   
       require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php');
   
       endif;
       ```
   
 * my wp-blog-header.php didn’t have that gzip line, I just inserted the bbclone
   call right before the template-loader and it’s working fine. I’m running this
   on WP 2.5 and seems good. Yay!

 * I’m having a really tough time getting bbclone to play nicely with 2.5.

 * I’ve been grinding on this for awhile now.. Sadly, I can’t quite get bbclone 
   to work. I created a test page and that works fine..
 * I’ve confirmed that bbclone is being called using some echo statements. However
   it seems to quit prematurely in the bbclone code:
 *     ```
       // Don't process anything unless we are told to do so
         if (!defined("_OK")) {
           if (empty($BBC_DEBUG)) return ignore_user_abort(0);
           else exit($i);
         }
       ```
   
 * I’m really not sure what is going on here, but it’s sort of driving me totally
   nuts! 🙂

 * This problem turned out (for me) to be due to my mod_rewrite apache module not
   being loaded. I also needed to edit my virtual host definition for my site so
   that AllowOverride was set to “all” and not “none” – which was the default.
 * a2enmod rewrite – will enable the rewrite module for apache2
    /etc/init.d/apache2
   force-reload -will reload apache2’s config
 * Have fun,

 * Any updates for Democracy on WP 2.1? It looks to me like it’s nearly functional.
   Though when I enable the democracy plugin in wp-admin – it fails – yet still 
   appears to be loaded. The widget enables without obvious incident. But the Democracy
   management interface doesn’t appear under the “Manage” menu. And the widget simply
   displays the error message: “
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘dawningmain.wp_democracyQ’ doesn’t exist]
    
   SELECT * FROM wp_democracyQ WHERE current = 1 LIMIT 1 “
 * Which I can only assume would be resolved by being able to access the Democracy
   admin tool under wp-admin.
 * The error message I get when trying to enable Democracy is: “Plugin could not
   be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
 * My apache error log had the following line appended when this error occured:
 * “PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   58368 bytes) in /www/dawning.ca/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 444, referer:
   [http://www.dawning.ca/wp-admin/plugins.php?deactivate=true&#8221](http://www.dawning.ca/wp-admin/plugins.php?deactivate=true&#8221);
 * Maybe this isn’t the plugin.. I’m not really that sure.
