Thanks, Animesh. I’m going to live with it the way it is for now.

By the way, I already tried recreating the page from scratch and found the same problem. Also, at one time the page was displaying correctly. There must be some corruption somewhere.

I have copied the YouTube embed code for the nine videos into Custom HTML blocks. The videos are now all showing up in browsers.

I don’t like the lack of control over alignment and size that I had with the YouTube embed block, but I guess I’ll have to live with it. Is it the case that the YouTube block is not consistently reliable? Guttenberg has been a nightmare.

Thanks for your help, Animesh.

Thanks, Animesh. I’ve already tried those things, except #4.

I don’t want to start messing with inserting code if I don’t have to. First, the code my WP page is the same for working & non-working videos. Secondly, it should just work with the YouTube embed block, like it apparently does for everyone else using WP.

There must be something else wrong with my page. The browsers seem to be interpreting the code differently for some of the videos.

As an experiment, I’ve broken the videos into two pages (5 & 3/page) and it seems to be working fine (for now anyway—I will continue to monitor it for a while before revising the topology of my site, which I prefer not to do).

fragmentsweb.org/protest-vids (5 videos)
fragmentsweb.org/climate-protests (3 videos)

Is it possible there were too many embeds on the page for the browsers?

I am embedding all the videos as shown in the GIF.

Apparently the problem has been resolved with this code:

.wp-embed-responsive .wp-block-embed.wp-embed-aspect-16-9 .wp-block-embed__wrapper:before {
display: none;
}

Thanks.

The code did not resolve the problem for me (assuming I did it right).

I added it here: “Customize > Additional CSS”

WP: 5.2.4
Theme: 1.7.3
URL: https://fragmentsweb.org/videos/

Thanks

Thanks for your quick responses. After much gnashing of teeth, I’ve determined that the Ocean Extra plugin is apparently causing the problem. I didn’t know I had activated it—I try to avoid plugins that say they have not been tested with my WordPress version. I will do further testing over the next couple of days.
