* Hi guys!
* I recently noticed that enabling the plugin removes the content between and . For example, the source should look like the screenshot,
but on the live page, I’m getting .
* Screenshot: [https://capture.dropbox.com/51XRXV8Zd3V5qJnl](https://capture.dropbox.com/51XRXV8Zd3V5qJnl)
* The issue doesn’t occur with all but some videos, so I had to disable the plugin
again. Have you seen this issue before?

* no, have not seen that before mkummer … is there any logic to it? I see in your
screenshots there were quotes in the description for example, could that trigger
the problem?

* Yeah, quotes could be the issue. Can’t the plugin not escape them correctly?

* > Yeah, quotes could be the issue.
* so if you remove the quotes in the description in the screenshot you shared,
it works as expected?
* > Can’t the plugin not escape them correctly?
* if the above is indeed confirmed, then the problem is with [my regular expressions that handle youtube blocks](https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/blob/main/wp-youtube-lyte.php#L783-L784)
which does seem a bit surprising but not impossible (regex can be tough like
that).

* I just double-checked, and the caption doesn’t have any quotes. Why Safari’s
inspector is showing them, I’m not sure.
* This is how the raw HTML code looks like:
* ```wp-block-code
Completing two super-intense workouts during a 48-hour fast made me better understand what it feels like to be truly hungry.
```
* I just re-enabled the plugin and you can see the issue on [https://michaelkummer.com/health/ice-barrel-review/](https://michaelkummer.com/health/ice-barrel-review/)

* Hey Michael, had a look but guess you already disable Lyte again. I’ll see if
I can reproduce the problem on my end and will get back to you on the subject.

* OK, problem identified and should be OK on the beta-version now. Can you [download the beta](https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)
and activate that instead of the current version to test if that makes the figcaptions
re-appear?

* I had to disable the beta immediately because it caused raw HTML output to be
displayed. See [https://capture.dropbox.com/UrqfyKmjYfb2xyPd](https://capture.dropbox.com/UrqfyKmjYfb2xyPd)
