    Sure! Here it is… so, obviously *some* of the code comes through, but it’s impossible to get any space between paragraphs. I’ve tried to add stylesheet info – both by making up classes p class = whatever, or divs, and using multiple br tags… using stylesheets both embedded in the description and remote… nothing works. Very odd.

    Food, health and fitness organizations face increasing expectations to align their internal practices with the implied benefit of their products.  Are these businesses ensuring the sustainability of their own operations?  What responsibility or role do they have in helping customers lead healthy and active lives, and what barriers must they overcome to assume this role? Join us in tackling these questions through our series, <strong>Great Expectations</strong>, where we will explore the challenges and successes of companies working to walk the talk in helping us eat, play, and explore in a more sustainable fashion.

    Cool! Well, yeah, it does seem to work, but it’s stripping the p and br tags. Here’s an example:

    http://www.triplepundit.com/topic/health-wellness-series

    The area at the top is coming from the tag description (including the banner image). Note there are no paragraph breaks. I’ve tried all kinds of crazy things including putting <div> around them with margins and stuff. Nothing works.

    Yeah, well that’s going to do nothing. Not to mention the fact that older post that have embed code could get destroyed too. I just went back to a post a couple months old and the video is gone now. *%#*)%#)%*)#*%)#*%#

    This is totally unacceptable and WP should have an option to allow the embed. I don’t care if it’s incorrect code, it works and this is totally screwing people with older posts and lots of writers.

    Okay… this is still a bit of a problem because many people will continue to try and use embed codes, or iframes, and then freak out when they disappear. It’s kinda cool that just throwing a URL in there works, but educating people over and over about it gets incredibly tedious.

    Plus, by taking away my power as a publisher to control this stuff, all kinds of annoying problems happen. For example, what if I want to adjust the size of the video? Or center it? With real code I could do that.

    Hey… so I just had a Vimeo video disappear when I edited a post. How am I supposed to embed it? Is there a URL method?

    In all honest, this is still a bit of a bug. What if I wanted to put a normal iframe into a post? Just for the hell of it? WP shouldn’t be stripping this stuff!

    Thanks… well, too late to change the permalinks. What are canonical redirects? Is that an .htaccess thing?

    (@nickaster)

    AH… I hadn’t found the per-user disable feature. Thank you. That’s definitely better than nothing. If some people like it, then fine with me. I just want to to vamoose!

    It’s garbage. I totally agree, it’s symptomatic of the internet getting dumber and dumber on the surface and harder and harder to manage behind the scenes. Have you figured out how to get rid of it?

    (@nickaster)

    oh man… I guess I could do that. Make dummy account, move temporarily, then reset? Dang. No plugins that let you just make a custom url for certain authors? (I’ve searched)

    Thread Starter nickaster

    (@nickaster)

    Well… this may be way too hard to diagnose that way (ie, I already can’t reproduce for my own account, god knows why). Do you know of any way to just “reset” those author pages?

    Interesting…. it seems to happen even if I’m using the HTML mode, however. I’ll try that auto embed thing.

    Wow… it actually works. I’m impressed! Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Okay…. so I must be doing something wrong. I installed bad behavior earlier today and activated it and these blasted Russian email addresses are still rolling in. I got three of them since turning Bad Behavior on.

    I don’t see a whole lot in terms of settings options in the plug in menu. Am I missing something?

    I’m curious:

    This just started happening in the last week or so. Is there a new rash of this? Is there something particularly vulnerable on my reg forms? Do I need a captcha?

    Ah ha! nice one. thanks.

    Thanks!

    Well, I ran that and it did find some, but almost none of them are my own URLs. They’re broken outbound links, at least 99% are. And only a couple hundred… hardly the 44,000 that Google thinks is there.

    Google has a massive list of my own URLs, the vast majority of which are clearly not bad URLs. I can just just copy/paste them in the browser and the page pops right up, despite Google claiming they’re bad.

    I do happen to have a lot of redirects on my site, but having gone through a few pages of the webmaster tools report, I don’t actually see any of those old URLs so far at all. And again, it’s like 2000, not 44K…
