 * Howdy folks. Don’t know if anyone else has run into this problem, but I’m having
   an issue where this plugin is suddenly redirecting folks to YouTube upon URL 
   input. First time it had done that so I disabled the plugin and it stopped. Tried
   updating to version 2.1.3 but it’s stil doing the same thing! Anyone else having
   this problem?

 * If you’ve tried reinstalling it and it continues to give the same error, the 
   issue could also be in your database. Does this plugin create any database tables?
   If so, you need to delete that/those tables then try to reinstall.
 * I’m not familiar with this plugin, so I don’t know if it creates any table(s)
   and if so their name(s). Just make sure you back up your whole database before
   editing it.

 * I’m having the same problem – wondering why myself. 🙂

 * Thanks for the tip, MickeyRoush. Did this once before due to another issue. Reinstalled
   and everything was great until this YouTube redirect came along. I’ve since abandoned
   this plugin. Great functionality when it worked but too problematic to continue
   using.
    I’ve searched the forums but can’t seem to find anything related to this
   issue…

 * That’s a weird issue. First I’ve heard it. You are redirected to YouTube itself
   when viewing a post for an imported video?

 * Yeah, that’s what was happening. Great plugin I love it, but had to deactivate
   it and find a suitable alternative as I couldn’t trace the source of the redirect.

 * Shane,
 * There is no redirection mechanism built into the plugin. I’m curious as to whether
   it’s an issue with your active theme or another plugin. I’m sorry you needed 
   to deactivate the plugin. What are the chances of reactivation and running a 
   test where you change the theme to one of WordPress’ default themes to test?
