I’m having the same problem.
I’m hosting my site at bluehost and have WordPress installed there, which shouldn’t be an issue, but that’s the background.
I simply want to embed videos (not my own) from YouTube into my posts; not into a widget.
Action: I tried the current iframe tag
Result: WP comments it out if I go to visual mode for the editor. It does nothing if I stay in HTML
Action: I tried the old object/embed code.
Result: code doesn’t change in the editor, but nothing appears in the post
Action: installed just about everything and in the end installed Viper’s Video Quicktags. This puts a YouTube button in both the WYSIWYG and the HTML editor.
Result: It pastes the following into the editor, but nothing on the site:

This really shouldn’t be this difficult, but then again, I’m coming from one of those starter site builders that embeds everything for you.
HELP! And much thanks ??
