Unfortunately, it's not possible to downgrade.

Rich,

in regards to the docs. Most documentation evolves based on the current development. We don't update the documentation if we don't have to. This means that some parts of the documentation might be outdated today, but was accurate at the time of writing it.

We try to write to documentation so that it has no version restrictions but this will sometimes fail.

The installation documentation is a good example of this.

This should also work for other popular sites.

You can see a full list of all providers here.

If you've a specific site, try to add it to the whitelist.

However, this doesn't guarantee that the link will work.

There are many reasons for this.

The Oembed plugin is meant to replace certain url's (like youtube links) with there content. This works for sites that support the oembed standard. Mostly this is media sites (youtube, vimeo, facebook, twitter, etc).

It should be as easy as uploading the content of the zip file for your Elgg version to the /mods folder on your webserver and than enabling the plugin in the plugin list.
