Posting a U Tube Video

    I want to post a U Tube video into a post. According to the WordPress “how to” site I was on, while watching the video you cut and paste the url address at the top of the video into the post. I did that but all that shows up is the address, not the actual video itself. If you click on the address it will play the video, but that is not the way it is supposed to work according to the help site. Why doesn’t the video itself show up instead of just the address?

    thank you.

    YouTube not U tube… *Drinks more coffee*

    Try this: wrap the YouTube URL in [embed]...[/embed] like so.

    See if that works.

    Well, it worked, sorta. The video came up this time, but a message came across the video saying and error had occurred, to try again later. I will see what happens, maybe reload the video.

    I reloaded video. Everything is fine. Thank you very much.

    Cool! Would you mind marking this topic “resolved” in the right hand column?

    I get extra ticket punches in the (Totally Made Up) WordPress Cafeteria when you do. ??

    I marked it resolved. When I come back to the post, it says unresolved. Not sure what’s going on.
