  Hi! Does anyone know why an increasing number of YouTube videos refuse to embed, at least on my site? I mean using the short “share” link, not the long “embed” link.

  It used to be just a few, now it’s more.

  “Share” produces a more compact and attractive window than “embed”.

  Is there any fix? Is it a WP issue, a theme issue or a YouTube issue? Thanks.

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

  PS I don’t mean clips that actively tell you that embedding is restricted and produce a window saying “Please watch on YouTube”. I’m talking about getting no embedded image at all — i.e. just seeing the link as text.

  Guess nobody has thoughts on this? I know it has been raised in previous threads, but confusingly! Thanks either way.
