Daily Motion video players are invisible in page, but display correctly in post
-
I’ve had some trouble for awhile with daily motion videos disappearing and then reappearing after a while. This time they show no sign of intending to reappear. I’ve cleared the browser cache. These were displaying with Firefox early this morning, so they’ve become invisible in the last 22 hours or so. Firefox updated automatically to version 27.0 today.
As far as I know, only the two Daily Motion videos in a the following draft page
are currently experiencing this problem. Other recently published Daily Motion videos are displaying and playing normally. The two which fail in the draft page with FF are also invisible with Google Chrome on the same page.
The oddest thing is that the same videos which are invisible on a draft page will display and play normally on the top post of the front page, here:
Though I’ve only got one of the two presently embedded there, I’ve successfully displayed and played both of them in the post.
I also tried to use the simpler “copy and paste the URL” option, though I dislike this method because when I tried it before the size of the video players were enormous and my attempts to adjust the size of them failed. This URL copy and paste method failed completely this time, producing only a link to the video at the video library, instead of a player.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Correction — this is the post in which the Daily Motion videos will display and play normally:

Resolved. I found that the whole page was full of unnecessary align left and paragraph end tags. I don’t know where these came from. When I removed them, the videos displayed as before.

Unresolved.
They’re gone again. Both of the videos mentioned above are now invisible again in the draft pageI’ve removed them from the post where they were visible, but for demonstration purpose I’ve created a separate page by copying and pasting the section of the text code containing these two videos in the aforementioned page. It is a draft page, so only staff will be able to view it. The videos display and play normally on this page, despite the fact that the text was copied and pasted without change from the page on which they fail to display. Here’s the draft page on which they work:

And, again, the page on which they fail to display:

Also, the following audio players, using the proper WP code from http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/, are also failing to display on the page with the disappearing video issue:

Now, I’ve made another demo page where I copied and pasted the entire page with the invisible video and audio players. I made no change at all, copying and pasting an exact duplicate of the HTML code. Both the video and audio players display and play normally, here:

As of 9:34 PM, 6 February, the two daily motion players mentioned above are invisible on all three pages, the feature page in construction
and the two demo pages

They players were visible immediately after creating the demo pages. Became invisible sometime in the last 4 3/4 hours.
