posts suddenly stopped displaying youtube videos

  • Hi there, thanks for reading.

    I am using the free version of the theme gegame and have been using it for about a week. I have created a number of posts that show a youtube video and a title text. Eg.

    <div style=”text-align: center;”><iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsC8pBlqSh8″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div style=”text-align: center;”></div><p></p>
<div style=”text-align: center;”>Beginners Guide, Part 13</div><p></p>

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    Everything was going fine, the main site was showing each video of each post on the main page, but then all of a sudden, the posts stopped showing the youtube videos. My site is warframezone.com. Do you see videos when you go to this page?

    My question is, is the lack of videos showing up the result of the theme having a limitation, or is something else afoot? Why aren’t the videos showing?

    Thank you, Mathias Nagy

  • I see the following error message in the browser console:

    Refused to display ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsC8pBlqSh8&#8217; in a frame because it set ‘X-Frame-Options’ to ‘SAMEORIGIN’.

    I can’t say why it stopped working all of a sudden, but try changing the video URL from “watch?v=” to “embed“… as in

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/RsC8pBlqSh8

    This seems to do the trick for a lot of people with this issue!

    NOTE: If you click on the SHARE => EMBED tab on the YouTube page for the video, you’ll get the correct embed code with this “embed” URL.

    You sir are a champion! I started with embeds day 1 and forgot about it when I continued on the next day, copying the direct links instead. Thank you!
