Embedded YouTube Video Not Showing on Post

  • I’m trying to embed a YouTube video on a post using the Custom HTML block since I need to also add two parameters to the URL. It shows up fine in preview, but when I visit the actual post, nothing shows up.

    I would just upload the video to my media library but there is no way to adjust the size of the video, unlike a YouTube embed.

    Here’s the code I’m using:

    
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kmhwj9QBhNE?rel=0&modestbranding=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

  • The code isn’t being output to the page you linked at all. Can you show a screenshot from your WP admin? In the code you posted, you are missing a closing quote after the YouTube url.

    Yeah, my issue is that it’s not being outputted to the page. Also, whoops, the closing quote is there in the original, for some reason when I pasted it here, it removed it. Here’s the proper code:

    <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/kmhwj9QBhNE?amp;rel=0&modestbranding=1&#8243; frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Here’s a link to some screenshots:

    There is also an issue where whenever I leave the post editor, it wipes all the HTML leaving the empty block (first screenshot). Not sure if that’s the reason it’s not showing up in the post.
