Schedule Post with YouTube Video NOT Working

    I have a scheduled post with a scheduled YouTube video (Private to Public), but after scheduled day/times the video is not displaying – see link below. If I click on the link within the black screen or copy the URL and paste it into another browser window the video will play as expected.

    Here is the daily publishing workflow:
    1. YouTube video is scheduled to go from Private to Public at 12:00am EDT
    2. The Post is scheduled to be made available at 12:10am EDT
    Note: I would assume that since the Post is made available after the YouTube video was made Public there would not be a timing issue.

    Any assistance on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Best Regards,

    What are you using to publish that to Youtube? A plugin?

    Jan,
    Thank you for moving this to “Fixing WordPress”.

    For adding YouTube videos to my daily posts, I typically use the Enfold Video Element. However, I’ve also tried doing this using the EmbedPlus for YouTube Plug-in.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to resolve this and/or if you need any additional information.

    Thank you!!!

    UPDATE:

    I found a way to schedule a WordPress/Enfold Post and have the scheduled YouTube video (Private to Public) fully display. As as you can read above this process was NOT working with the Enfold Video Element (e.g. video was not displaying. If I clicked on the link within the black screen or copy the URL and paste it into another window the video would play as expected).

    How did I get it the scheduled Post to work with embedding a scheduled YouTube video (Private to Public)?
    1. I used the “EmbedPlus for YouTube Plug-in“.
    2. Schedule the YouTube video to go Public first (e.g. 12:00AM) and then schedule your Post to go live at say 12:10AM.
    2. Within the Post, I created a Text Box, clicked on the “YouTube” button next to “Add Media”, and selected the “Embed a single video” option. It looks like this: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[VIDEO_ID] [/embedyt]
    3. Note: When I created this Post, the Plug-in will not allow you to complete this step with a “Private” video. So, you include a video that you know is Public. Then you use that short-code in your scheduled Post and add the VIDEO_ID for the video you want displayed, which is Private at the time.
    4. When the scheduled video & post go live, the video is displayed within the Post as expected.

    Special thanks to @guenni007 for recommending this wonderful plug-in.

    Hope this helps others. Feel free to close this topic.

    Best Regards,
    Julio
