    I just exported posts/media from a WordPress.com hosted site to an independently hosted install for a friend. I’m looking for a quick plugin that will convert years of old posts that used WordPress.com’s media shortcode (i.e. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSQvI02rec] ) into actual embedded video. Right now the posts only show the actual shortcode text.

    Any fixes? Thanks in advance!

    Is there no fix or plugin that converts the WordPress.com short code into working embeddable videos on a private install?

    Post this into your theme’s functions.php file:

    function youtubeSC($atts) {

	return '<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="'.substr($atts[0],1).'?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="'.substr($atts[0],1).'?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>';
}
add_shortcode("youtube", "youtubeSC");
