Hi!
Just bought the media addon. If I add a plain youtube link, it doesn't actually embed the clip like I was hoping it would. The commenter must use the embed code from Youtube? If so, this won't be obvious to the commenters.
Also, is there a way to make links open in a new browser tab? As it is now, it redirects the visitor to a new website.
Hi @danniee,

No the users just need to copy the URL and paste it in the comment content. You can check it here: http://wpdiscuz.com/addons/wpdiscuz-media-uploader/#comments
Please navigate to Dashboard > Comments > Settings > Addons > Uploader admin page, make sure the "Allow media embedding function" is enabled.
Also, is there a way to make links open in a new browser tab? As it is now, it redirects the visitor to a new website.
Please put the following js code in your active theme js file:
jQuery('#wpcomm .wc-comment-text a').attr('target', '_blank');
Here is an instruction you can use: https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/custom-js/
Hi,
That's the thing. I already have "Allow media embedding function" enabled, but it didn't work when I posted a regular Youtube link. Only when I used Youtube's own embedding link.
Nevermind, it seems to work as intended now. Thanks for the help.
Yes, both issues solved. However, why can't it be a default thing that links open in new tab or at least allow this option in the backend?
The target="_self" to the <a> tag is set by WordPress side not wpDiscuz.

We'll take this into consideration for future updates. If the solution works just keep it in the file, you'll get it resolved.
