    I’m sorry if this is redundant topic, I looked and searched and couldn’t find an answer.

    I’m not the admin of the blog I use. But I’m one of the writers on his site. I am having a lot of trouble trying to get youtube video to post in our blog.

    I was told you just copy the embed file by right clicking, or simply copying the embed code for the video and pasting it into wordpress in the html area.

    Well when I do this, I see a yellow square with the shape of the video and the flash logo in the middle. I hit preview, and the video never shows up on the site.

    All my text and images are there, but not the video.

    Can anyone help?

  • Have you tried publishing and than check the post as youtube video will only show on the post as it has to be connected to Youtube server.

    Have you tried something like this:

    That link says supported up to version 2.3. Hasn’t been updated in a few years.

    I tried publishing one time and the admin that reviews all the content before it goes live said there was no video.

    And I cant do the option of inserting video option all that does is insert a clickable link.

    I looked at a post I made with a youtube video
    and I have is
    [youtube]you tube video link here [/youtube]

    and I can not see the video until I publish the post.

    I am using TinyMCE Advanced and has a youtube icon .

    i’m also just seeing a link using the insert video option
    when i paste the embed code in html mode its ok though, but im not sure if that’s the right way to do it?

    OEmbed is a relatively new protocol at YouTube, and not all videos work with it yet. For now, use either manual embed code provided by YouTube or this plugin:

    thanks! ??
    and can we alight the object or make text wrap around it?

    You can at least align it with the plugin’s settings. I haven’t tried to make text wrap around it, but I’m sure that it would be possible via simple CSS.

    You can wrap text with a div style around the object like this:

    <div style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;">

    The whole thing should look like this:
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="240" height="193" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/a8z3cIYJfVE?fs=1&hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="240" height="193" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/a8z3cIYJfVE?fs=1&hl=en_US" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></div>

    thanks, works great ??
