  I know I’m not the only one to have problems embedding YouTube videos but I’ve done everything recommended and it’s still not working. Our site is vocaledgemusic.com and we have the Soundcheck theme but can’t embed a YouTube video on my Home Column 2. This is the video I’m trying to embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvnNNhIz2tk . I’ve made sure it’s not hyperlinked but it’s not embedding. The actual URL is showing up in that column. Do I have to set the height and width to make it appear properly?

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

  Hi there,

  Please copy/paste this into your Text Widget:

  [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvnNNhIz2tkw=320&h=240]

  You can specify the width and height by changing around the number after w= and h=. You can find more information about this here:

  Please let me know if you have any questions!

  Thanks. I figured this out last night. I appreciate your reply.

  I had seen that support page; what wasn’t clear about it was that one is supposed to use the text widget in order to get it to work. Perhaps that could be better explained there. Thanks.
