Auto embed not working

Hi fembiz,

Are you copying the embed code from youtube, or using some other means to show the video?

Are you sure that you’re always pasting the code in the code editor and not the wysiwyg editor?

Can you supply a url to a page that is not working correctly so we can review?

Hi imh_brad,

Thanks for your response. When I do it with the embed code, it works fine always. However, sometimes I just copy and paste the URL from my address bar. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. This is what baffles me because it should either work all the time or not at all. The code is always pasted in the visual editor and not the HTML editor. Should I be pasting it in the HTML editor?

Thanks for your help

I read up on the documentation further and:

WordPress will automatically turn that into a YouTube embed when the post is viewed.

I’m thinking this may be a plugin / theme issue. Have you tried the usual:
1. switching to default theme
2. disabling plugins

… to see if one of those two is causing a conflict with the youtube code?

Well, it seems like it is not doing that for some reason. Atleast not all the time. I have tried switching to the default theme and disabling the plugins and the problem is still there

When I visit https://www.mydestination.com/blog/?p=1019&preview=true I get an error page. Can you try giving us another url?

Yeah sure here you go https://www.mydestination.com/blog/video

I am getting a 404 there as well – https://www.mydestination.com/blog/video

Hi fembiz, were you able to resolve this issue?

no I haven’t been able to. and i don’t know why you can’t access the URL. I will look for another one and send it to you later

same problem here… even worse, because in the homepage I can open the embed youtube url via teaser post. But when I open the video it shows nothing.

Hi artdias90, can you supply us a URL to the page with the issue so we can test and view the problem?

@artidas90, I deleted the plugin and found another way around it. the plugin doesn’t work as described
