youtube posts

i stand corrected, there is defintely an iframe in the coding on my posts editor page, but it’s just not appearing when i preview the post…?

ok…then add a new post, put this in the post

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/rYAsst2TxPk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

and see if you can see it when you preview the post…if you cannot, then the problem is with wordpress and it’s not allowing you to see iframes..if you can see it then make sure the iframe in your post (that you can’t see) has a closing </iframe> tag.

nope, cant see the video, it looks like there is a space for the video if it were infact there, lol…OYE, WISH I knew where to go from here, i’m using wp 3.6 if that helps any…

if you can’t see the video by putting an iframe in the post, then there is something happening with your wordpress installation. iframes don’t sometimes work programmatically, like with my plugin, but should when put in manually. 3.6 shouldn’t give you any problems at all. I would contact my web host to see what’s going on.

ok, allen, im back….heres the conversation between my host, he didnt really help metoo much though, so im kind of lost at this point…heres the conversation, maybe it will spark some ideas. Thanks again Allen.

(3:26:38pm)Robert F.:Thank you for contacting HostGator Live Chat Support. My name is Robert and I will assist you today.
(3:26:53pm)alex:Hi robert
(3:29:50pm)alex:I was told by a plugin developer to check in with my hosting company, because currently my rss feeds, which are set to import media ie youtube videos , aren't showing the actual video when i preview it, https://www.fredastairewisconsin.com/videos/dance-a-thon-2012-mixed-novice-mp4/ ....Any Ideas why that may be?, I'm not even sure you are the one i should be contacting, but the developer said that with my current wp installation, i shouldnt have any problems, yet any video in an iframe doesnt seem to show up...Any help would be greatly appreciated
(3:32:18pm)Robert F.:Hi Alex. Normally, this would be out of scope of our support, but let me check a few things to see if I can get more information.
(3:32:32pm)alex:you are awesome, thank you so much
(3:37:48pm)Robert F.:Is the video supposed to link to Youtube's site?
(3:38:34pm)alex:well. it's supposed to have my youtube links underneath it, but the video should just be imbedded
(3:40:35pm)alex:I just looked at on with internet explorer and it says
This content cannot be displayed in a frame 

To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame. 

What you can try: 

Open this content in a new window 

....But im the publisher of the site, youd think i would allow myself to imbed the video, lol
(3:44:55pm)alex:any help is greatly appreciated
(3:45:56pm)Robert F.:is this happening in all browsers?
(3:46:59pm)alex:in chrome, i dont see the text, it just shows me a blank spot as if the video would have been there...
(3:47:48pm)Robert F.:You may check with YouTube on this as they do have new policies on embedding videos
(3:50:05pm)Robert F.:I would check with them and if they have any information, we are available 24/7 via Live Chat so please contact us again if you have any questions or concerns.
(3:50:12pm)alex:well, the developer of the plugin made it appear correctly on his site, thats why he had me try and imbed the iframe without the plugin, and that didnt work either, and it couldnt be wordpress because i am running the latest version, so he said to check in with the hosting company...
(3:51:38pm)Robert F.:I understand. So, with a plugin, it worked oK?
(3:53:02pm)Robert F.:Did you have any further questions that I can assist you with today?
(3:53:44pm)alex:no, with the plugin it wasnt working, (rss multi importer), it gave me everything from the feed but the video...so he gave me a code to try and imbed an iframe without a plugin, and that didnt work either, but on his website, he made it happen, so he said it might be with my server/hosting...?
(3:54:57pm)Robert F.:Did he know what the issue could be?
(3:55:57pm)Robert F.:We would need more information on what the cause maybe on our end to assist propetrly.
(3:56:58pm)alex:no, he was able to pull my feed with his website, and there didnt seem to be anything wrong with his plugin, he even gave me something to paste in my functions.php to try and fix the error, but that didnt work either, so i said he thinks its a hosting issue...
(3:57:58pm)Robert F.:We would need more specific information in order to troubleshoot eddectively
(3:58:19pm)alex:ok, i will try and figure it out, thanks for your help....

ok…well, I just put this iframe (manually) into a post on my public site (which is also on hostgator)…and as you can see, the iframe works

This leads me to believe it has to do with your wordpress installation. You’ll need to figure this one out since I have no idea what’s going on outside of what my plugin does or does not do.

here is something else to try

finally, since you are wp 3.6, try this…instead of an iframe, just put this into a post and see if it works

the last option worked…so how do i set this up with your template?

if you downloaded the most recent version of the plugin, check the box that say to include videos (on the feed to post admin page)

Ok, couple more questions and I will leave you alone Allen, lol…..Is there a way to edit the defaults so that that the title of my video is placed in a div like this

<div class=”title8″>
<div class=”module-title”>
<h1 class=”title”>title of my video</h1>
</div>
</div

? And, is there a way to strip the views/star rating portion, thumbnail from the post, edit the size of the video?….

I’d like the videos to be by default 580×360

Id like the thumbnail to be present on my sidebar that has a list of recent posts, but not on the actual post.

I just want to get rid of the views/star rating if possible…Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again Allen.

you might read this to understand why I’m not responding very quickly these days to tech support questions

i see. I apologize for any inconvenience. I never meant to be one of the offending questioneers. I will definitely rate your plugin, and re-ask the question if it allows me find a resolution for the previous questions i was asking. I’ve searched through the FAQ’s and can’t seem to find anything about these specific questions,:

Hey allen, i recently gave your plugin 4 stars, so i am here again , begging for just a tad bit more help lol. I figured out how to change the youtube video size, but I still cant seem to find the section where i can get rid of the other youtube details, star rating, etc. Is there anyway you could entertain this question, or guide me to a post that probably already discussed this, that I cant find? I appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
