  In order for a Youtube URL to embed automatically it needs to be on a line entirely by itself. I went ahead and fixed it for you. You can see the changes in the revision here: https://jeroenvandentempel.wordpress.com/wp-admin/revision.php?revision=5811

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  thanks for your advice, looks solid enough, but it still doesn’t work…
  I copied your html-lines from your revision, but nothing changes.
  One is still directed to the youtube-website and the video is not embedded. To bad! You have any other ideas? Like to hear from you!

  Hi Jeroen,

  Sorry that didn’t work! For this method (pasting in the YouTube URL) to work, there can’t be any other code on the same line as the URL. That includes code to center the video — you’ll have to remove the code that centers the link on the page in order for it to work.

  If you want the video to be centered on the page, I recommend using the YouTube shortcode. Instead of pasting in the URL by itself, you can use this shortcode:

  [youtube=PASTE_YOUR_YOUTUBE_URL_HERE]

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
