    For a YouTube video, this is what should have been inserted from an “insert media – URL”:

    [embed]http://youtu.be/kPDPq98AYj8[/embed]

    But, for unknown reasons, the below code got inserted along with line above:

    <div class=”wpview-body” contenteditable=”false”>
    <div class=”toolbar mce-arrow-down”></div>
    <div class=”wpview-content wpview-type-embed”><iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/kPDPq98AYj8?feature=oembed&#8221; width=”625″ height=”352″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”></iframe></div>
    <div class=”wpview-overlay”></div>
    </div>

    I removed the second block of code and reinserted the media URL, making the visual edit work again, and now I only have the first “embed” line of code.

    It’s a mystery how it happened.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Thanks mbrsolution,

    Your suggestion is more of a manual solution, if I understand what I read about the plugin. However, it is a good compromise solution favoring simplicity over a much more complicated solution to write the form directly to an external database.

    If I can learn enough about WordPress, PHP and others processes it takes to insert to the external database, that would be my choice since I am very familiar with MySQL from both a db admin and SQL query language.

    This behavior occurs on either of the three built-in themes, or on the couple I have download from the WordPress site.

    This may be a clue. I deleted the downloaded theme. I now only have the three default themes. It appeared to me that some “plug-ins” were left behind after I removed the new theme, and thus, I deleted them. Maybe I inadvertently deleted a required plug in. What plug-ins should I see in a “clean installation”? And, how do I get the original themes reinstalled without a complete WordPress reinstall? How do I backup my site I have spent hours working on that is based on one of these default themes in case a reinstall is called for?
