  I’m trying to create a password protected space with with unlisted youtube videos and the shortcode of [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuZgQc5C_ic%5D and [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dwvXXcBud8%5D are posting as text, not a video. They are on their own line. I’ve been able to use videos on my website before. Is it because of the password protection? thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @alietarot, I don’t see the affected space, but can I recommend simply pasting the youtube video link on its own line instead of using a shortcode?

  Unless you need special options, the one-line method is a lot easier. If you do need to use a shortcode, please let us know where we can find the post or page so we can check the settings for you.
