Turning off the RTE and proper styling (using the div or class as discussed above) certainly helped to make this work for me.
However, I noticed another problem. My blog EDITOR users were not able to do the same thing as my ADMIN user. Every time the editors hit Save buttons, the embedded video code snippet would be obliterated – even when the RTE was turned off. This leads me to believe that the WordPress editor (even in RTE off mode) is affected by the user role, and the code in the editor can be impacted. This must be a bug in the editor.
I’m wondering if anyone else out there noticed this and knows of some fix that may be available.
