  I have a wordpress site and am trying to embed a youtube video to the sidebar. I get a weird partial image instead of the youtube video when i try to embed in the custom field. What am I doing wrong? This is the video I’m trying to embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfrrqnUyfg
  This is what my sidebar-inner.php code looks like:

  <?php
  /**
  * The Sidebar containing the primary and secondary widget areas.
  */
  ?>
  <div class=”right-block”>
  <?php
  $vdo = ‘vdo’;
  $themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $vdo, TRUE);
  if($themeta != ”) { ?>
  <iframe src=”<?php echo $themeta; ?>” width=”306″ height=”205″ frameborder=”0″ webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
  <?php } ?>
  <?php
  if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
  the_post_thumbnail();
  }
  ?>
  <div style=”text-align:center;”>

  <?php
  $book = ‘book’;
  $themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $book, TRUE);
  if($themeta != ”) { ?>
  <img src=”<?php echo $themeta; ?>” alt=”” />
  <?php } ?>
  <?php
  $txt = ‘txt’;
  $themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $txt, TRUE);
  if($themeta != ”) {
  echo $themeta;
  }
  ?>
  <p>Experience and training in Home Care led to GoCare’s beliefs and model.</p>
  </div>
  </div>

  I have a wordpress site

  Hi, you’re in the wrong forum.
  This forum is for blogs/sites hosted by WordPress.com .

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And you should ask in the WordPress.org forum
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  Nope, it’s a WordPress.org site.
