Hi,
I'm using EasyBlog (latest version) in a website. Everything seems ok but I have two main problems:

- embed blocks (youtube, ted and so on) are not working. When I paste the URL the block simply collapse and remain empty. The HTML block using iframe is working anyway. Why is not working the embed with the url?

- I have sometimes problem with the content length of the post. I need posts to use just youtube embed block but when I try to publish an error occur for "no content in the post". This may be related to the embed blocks issue.

With firebug I see this problem when saving embed url:

POST http://gospeakenglish.com/gse/index.php?option=com_easyblog&lang=none&Itemid=187&_ts=1449851904593 500 (Internal Server Error)
send @ foundry.js:9704
jqXHR.send @ foundry.js:9238
(anonymous function) @ foundry.js:21507
(anonymous function) @ foundry.js:20041

Thanks,
Andrea
Hey Andrea,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. The reason that your video block isn't working is actually because your hosting provider did not compile php with mbstring support.

You need to contact your web host to compile php with mbstring support. Once the video block is resolved, the other issue should also be resolved
