    Hello! After updating to WordPress 5.5 a youtube video stopped playing on my site. Debugging leads me to believe its an issue with your theme as the video works fine if I change themes. The error is:

    Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/id. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).

    Any help in getting this fixed would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Hello, been doing some further investigating and this issue is in the WP bug trac, apparently it’s effected several themes and hopefully WordPress will get it fixed in the future. Note: If anyone else has this issue, a cludge fix is to embed the video with the html block which does work.

    I’ve done this and instead of an error, I now get a warning:
    —————
    “Because a cookie’s SameSite attribute was not set or is invalid, it defaults to SameSite=Lax, which will prevent the cookie from being sent in a cross-site request in a future version of the browser. This behavior protects user data from accidentally leaking to third parties and cross-site request forgery.”
    —————
    But, the video shows up and plays, which is the important thing.

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for letting me know and for your extra investigation. Do you happen to have a link to the Trac ticket that you found? I’d be interested to see what the issue is.

    I’m going to mark this one as resolved since it’s not actually a theme issue, but a WP/Gutenberg issue.

    Thanks.

    Anthony, I do not offhand, I’ll see if I can find it again later today.
