video not showing

I’ve had a look at the page source and this is the code that my plugin is adding to the page…

<!-- YouTube Embed v3.3.2 -->
<div itemprop="video" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/VideoObject">
<meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LrwHEgfRgNU/hqdefault.jpg" />
<meta itemprop="embedURL" content="https://www.youtube.com/v/LrwHEgfRgNU" />
<meta itemprop="height" content="340" />
<meta itemprop="width" content="560" />
<iframe frameborder="0" style="border: 0;" class="youtube-player" width="560" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LrwHEgfRgNU?enablejsapi=1&modestbranding=1&fs=0&rel=0&wmode=window" ></iframe>
</div>
<!-- End of YouTube Embed code -->

This is 100% correct and if you past the src URL into your browser you’ll see the video appear. So, basically my plugin is doing what it should. I can only assume that something else is interfering. The CSS for your site looks fine but it may be another component of your theme or a plugin (not that you appears to have that many installed).

As much as it pains me to suggest it (because I hate it when people suggest this to me) you should probably try switching off your plugins one-at-a-time to see if any of those are the cause.

You could also try putting the YouTube URL directly on the page on its own line – WordPress will automatically convert this to a video – try that to see if the video appears then.

Hi David,

thanks for your answer.

The last one was good: inserting youtube video url directly on page editor works well.
That’s what I need, so it is perfect and simply!

fantastic!

Well <ahem> that isn’t quite what I had in mind. My plugin provides far more features that the simple WordPress URL version, so I’m not trying to steer you away – I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the video now has the right hand side chopped off.

However, it’s interesting that works and mine doesn’t.

If you’re happy to try and diagnose the original issue there are two things you can do (once you’ve put my shortcode back on the page!).

1. Switch off “metadata” (that’s in the the options screen for my plugin).
2. Try changing the window mode (that’s in the profile screen)

Those are the only two things that I can think of that could be causing a problem.

David.
