I am trying to have youtube videos show up the home page of my wordpress website. I am using the Gabfire Magazine theme. I have installed the plugin Viper’s Video Quicktags. However before I installed that, I could put the embedded video into a post and it would not show up the home page but instead would show up when the user visited the actual post. So to attempt to rectify that, I installed the Viper Quicktags plugin. Now it has a parse error that shows up and that is on the home page and the actual post. I may not have installed it correctly. My header contained <?php wp_head();?> but my footer did not contain <?php wp_footer();?> so I added it arbitrarily to a point in there. I think that might be where I messed up. Below is the footer code:
<!-- /if you are going to place a google analytics or other track service snippet, pate it here -->
<?php wp_footer();?>
<div id="footer">

Below is the section of index.php that I need the video to show up on:

<div id="midcolumn">

<!-- Loop for latest news -->
<?php $oddentry = 'class="gray" '; ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=1,26,35,15,23,27,24,25,13&showposts=5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Center Thumbnail", true);?>" />
<div <?php echo $oddentry; ?>>
<div class="midcolumnpost">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(30, '<img><a>', 'content', false, 'More...', true);?>
<div class="details">
<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(__('Leave comment'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments'));?> | <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="Read More">Read More</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php /* Changes every other post to a different class */ $oddentry = ( empty( $oddentry ) ) ? 'class="gray" ' : ''; ?>
<!-- End of Loop for middle column -->
Essentially if you look at the home page of https://www.reelhits.com, the center column is where I want the video to show up. I just want the video and the post title.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
