  Hi everyone, I have videos on a lot of my pages as well as one on my homepage.

  The videos on the pages are in Raw HTML with the embed code from the YouTube video.
  They are showing in the back end and in the preview, but on the live site they are not displaying.

  The video on the homepage is in a video player and does display.

  I have tried putting the page videos in a video player like the one on the homepage, but still the same problem.

  I am wondering if it is an issue with the site, like outdated security but I do not know a lot about that.

  Any advice appreciated please.

  If you are talking about a wordpress.com website, the only way to put a Youtube video on your site is by using the Youtube block, https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/blocks/youtube-block/

  The theme for the wordpress site is Course Builder By ThimPress.

  Essentially, I have tried the video player from the theme using the URL of the video, and the raw HTML box using the embed code from the YouTube video.

  Neither works for the pages.

  They were working before and stopped last week.

  What is the URL of your site because it looks you are talking about a site using the open source wordpress.org.

  Yes it is wordpress.org. My mistake there.

  If you still want the URL, here it is, I am going to go on the wordpress.org forums now too:

  Here is one of the pages that the video is not displaying on (Top right in the empty space).

  Thanks for your help.
