One of our OSEmbed customers noticed that instead of embedding their URLs as videos or maps, Joomla was stubbornly turning them into clickable text links. If you're using the JCE Editor, this happens because it automatically converts pasted links into clickable text.
While this is great for regular web content, it completely disrupts OSEmbed’s ability to display videos, maps, or documents properly. In this blog post, you will learn a simple fix—just tweak a setting in JCE, and your embeds will work as expected!
Head to your Joomla admin dashboard and navigate to Components > JCE Editor > Profiles.
Once you're on the JCE - Editor Profiles screen, click Default to edit your JCE Editor Profile.
Open the Plugin Parameters tab.
Click on the Link icon in the left panel.
Scroll down until you see the Autolink URLs option and switch it to No.
Hit Save or Save & Close.
At this point, you might get an error message that looks like this:
But don’t panic! Your JCE Editor didn’t crash, and your setting change was applied successfully.
You can double-check by going back to the setting—it should now be set to No.
With that, your embeds should start working properly again!
