I think that you should fix your issue with RequireJS as you've mentioned in your reply.

Anyway, you can use Embed (the bundled plugin in Elgg).

I will not advise you other plugins because as I assume they will not work until you fix the RequireJS error.

Thank you so much @RvR! Being that Ive never disabled is before how do I go about doing that? Being looking around but don't understand.

Got it to work! I copied code from a theme that I liked but deactivated due to it messing with my SSL and placed it within an index.php file in the Aalborg theme. the issue stemmed from me still having the js from the old theme and not deleting it which I just did. I also activated CDN within my webhost. I activated the Tidypics plugin then flushed cache. Now things are working FANTASTIC!!!
