Youtube Embed and Centering

While writing new post, did you switch to “TEXT mode” and added this:

<center>
https://youtube.com/watch?v=id
</center>

Because you can’t inset code in the visual mode..

Yes Samuel, I did that – all that happens is instead of showing any video it changes to just showing the youtube link (left aligned)

Yes, I edited the answer. Try to put the YT link in an independent line:

<center>
https://youtube.com/watch?v=id
</center>

It did the same with me while putting all the code in the same line, and the YouTube links needs an independent line..

I just tried it but still didn’t work. I tried both the longer youtube link and the shortened url but both just centered the link to the youtube video

Thank you for trying to help me!!

Hmmmm, that’s odd. I changed to text mode, which is a button in the top right corner of the text editing area when you’re editing a post, and this worked nicely:

<center>
https://youtube.com/watch?v=id
</center>

Just so you know,

the <center></center> html tag has been deprecated for some time now.

You should be using

display:block;
margin:0 auto;

to center your elements.

WAIT! I just like changed the link from being

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYpaOUH5hrY

to being

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYpaOUH5hrY (http vs https)

and it worked. I don’t know anything about http/https so to me it’s just a straight up miracle. Thank thank thank thank you!!!

HTTP worked for you because your actual protocol is HTTP and not HTTPS. while you serve requests on HTTPS, the opposite will happen.

You’re welcome!
