# oEmbed Filter?

 * When getting some content with the get_page function I can’t make an oEmbed video
   work. The template just returns the flat link to the file.
 * Here is my code, I’ve tried apply the the_content filter but its not working.
 * Any ideas / help!
 * Thanks
 * Ian.
 *     ```
       // load videos
       	$page_id = 724;
       	$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
       	$videos = $page_data->post_content; // Get Content
       	$videos = apply_filters('the_content', $videos);
       	echo $videos;
       ```

 * Are you attempting to embed from one of the “approved” sites?

 * Yep, its youtube. it just doesn’t get processed.
 * If I post the url in a normal page it processes fine. Its just accessing the 
   data via get_page that doesn’t work.

 * Same issue, but it only appears in a category archive. It’s not caused by a conflict
   since I get the non-embedded url even if this is the only thing I include in 
   the page:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $player = get_page($pageid = 93);
       echo apply_filters('the_content', $player->post_content);
       ?>
       ```

 * One thing I’d recommend trying is wrapping your content in stripslashes(), or
   maybe increase the number that the filter gets applied, i.e.
 * `apply_filters('the_content', $videos, 99);`
 * Just blind guesses. Seeing a var_dump of your $videos variable may help though.

 * I solved by just using a simple `query_posts`
 *     ```
       <?php 	query_posts(array('page_id'=>93));
       if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <aside>
       <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       </aside>
       <?php
       wp_reset_query();
       endif;?>
       ```
   
 * I was using this method earlier and I switched to `get_page` for (unproven) speed’s
   sake, but apparently it doesn’t work as well as `query_posts`. You could also
   use a WP_query object, but I’m not familiar with it.

 * Just for anyone else looking.
 * I ended up storing the URL as a custom field then using wp_oembed_get
