    My Webmasters tool is reporting errors regarding missing embed code.

    I’m using WordPress short codes to embed youtube videos on my blog posts. But when the amp validators crawl my pages they are probably seeing the Shortcode without embed tags, so it’s reporting such error message in my Webmasters tool account.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The exact error message I’m getting is this: “Content mismatch: Missing embedded video”

    And I’m using [youtube video_url] shortcode for embedding my YouTube videos on my blog.

    Example:

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8oDbjGrENI ]

    I’m not writing any short code specific to amp. The short code below is what I use for non-amp.

    [youtube video_url]

    And the issue is present only on my homepage and on tags pages. I want to mainly fix it on my homepage.

    Error Message inside my Webmasters Tool a/c:

    @ahmedkaludi Could you find any solution for this issue? Even tags pages have been included in this list of warnings pages on Google Webmasters tool account.
