Comment on New features in WPMU 2.9.1 by Renato Glauco

Dear admin, we should be concerned because this need exists. Who works with media and has to pass on information need to put videos from other sources. I was looking at the code to copy and paste the youtube and are very similar. It crashed with the upgrade from version 2.8.6 to version 2.9.1.1.
You can not ignore the videos Globo (http://video.globo.com/), issuing of Brazil and perhaps the largest in Latin America. In version 2.8.6 the videos work perfectly. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment! We’ve never tried embedding videos from sources other than YouTube.

I tried the version 2.9.1.1 and I liked. I’m having problem with the inclusion of videos. Videos
YouTube is built without problems, but videos of the other sources do not work:

While I am a firm believer of “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it,” I also try to remain up to date on all our installs to avoid trouble when leaping version numbers during future upgrades. I have had major problems in the past when skipping versions. Yes, it is a pain when hard coded changes are involved, but to me it’s worth it. Thanks for the comment and good luck!

@lambros Thanks for the update. Upgrading can be a pain when renaming core files since the edits must be made every time. One of the reason I documented the steps (for myself) here! FYI: We have not had one single spam blog registration since testing the beta version of the WPMU Dev Premium Anti-Splog plugin.

Hi again..I did not limit the character count of blog names after all and I would like to help more with your instructions. I also put a mathematical problem at my sign up page and also I change the symbol “+” with word (greek).
So at the end I will not rename the signup file ’cause at first I am afraid to, and second i dont know what happening if I want to update my WPMU.

@Lambros Sorry, I do not know how to limit the character count of blog names, might want to check the WPMU support forums. Though I don't see how that would affect spam blog registrations in any way. When renaming the signup file, just be sure to catch all instance of where it is linked that I outline above, then search and replace the db for any existing links within your site content as described if necessary. Hope this helps, thankd for the comment!

this will be beneficial for me and everyone visiting this page…

Thank you too! If you take these precautions early on, and document your work, you should save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run. My only problem was waiting as long as I did!
