  Hi there, I’m not sure why, but here’s the issue I’m having. On our site (www.themoversshow.com) we have a series of links to video episodes of our web series on youtube.
  Many of them are suddenly showing as the same link from the moversshow.com page. (I have them set up as different videos but many of them are showing up as the same video) But when I go into wordpress and look at the links I created, and copy paste them into a separate browser they play the correct video link.

  I’m not sure what else to try. I’d love some advice. Thank you.

  It looks like you’ve embedded them from a playlist, instead of using the shorter, original form of the URL. Youtube changed something recently, so if you just go to the website and get the URL of the form that should work.

  Not:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLYpQdKg7E&list=UUAYqpiYjVWUECqHer4HEl5A&index=2&feature=plcp

  Instead:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLYpQdKg7E

  I’m afraid you’ll have to edit ALL the video links.

  THANK YOU SO MUCH! I knew it had to be something super simple. A bit of a pain changing the links, but all is now well. I really appreciate your help.

  Phew. I feel better now.
