When pasted the url of the video into my post using the WordPress 2.9 default text editor, the video displayed to the left of the post window. (note: this is a feature of WordPress 2.9, and does not work with the other plugin editors I have tried)
When I pasted the code below into the html, the text of the url was displayed without the video. (This is because the auto implant of a url only works in visual mode)
<div style=”text-align: center;”>Video URL:</div>
What worked was when I pasted the embed code that is displayed to the right of all youtube videos into the code where the url was. This inserts an object into the code and worked beautifully for me.
THIS WORKS!
<div style=”text-align: center;”>EMBED CODE</div>
