  Hello

  I’m facing some problems with my blog.
  I would like to choose which page of my blog I will post.
  I did some investigation and I realized that the best would be to add categories to my menus, not pages.

  The problem is the pages related to categories don’t show the videos I posted, e.g. from youtube, they are only visible on the front page where all posts are visible.
  The only thing we can see is the title and comments, the video disappears.

  The template I’m using is “The Responsive Theme”. Is this template the problem?

  I hope you can help me with this.

  Thanks in advance

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

  Hello,

  the issue here is that the Responsive theme is coded to display excerpts automatically on category page templates. Youtube videos don’t get displayed inside excerpts.

  I am not too familiar with the theme, and there might/might not be an option to change the category page template’s setting. Most themes don’t have this option, though.

  If it is important to have Youtube videos on category pages, your best bet is to look for another theme that does it.

  Which would be a theme that displays full posts on category, tag, archives, and search pages.

  Also, it seems you are mirroring content from a site at goyave-production.com. If so, there is no advantage to this and I would be quite cautious since both sites could be penalized by search engines as duplicate content.

  Thank you both,

  I’ll try another theme indeed.

  Cheers,
