  Hi:

  I have a somewhat similar problem: I have had a WP site for years. I add and delete photos with impunity. That is until last weekend. Now I can only load already imported photos to ‘new site pages’ that are already stored in the Library… no new photos from ‘outside of the site’ can be imported. Any ideas about what is happening?

  Hi anupamasaini1993, please be sure you paste in the full link to the YouTube video in the editor, including http:// or https:// at the beginning. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  @bibblewink (Steve) — Your issue is different from the YouTube issue discussed in this thread. Please start a new forum thread with your question. Thanks!

  Hi, turns out that I wasn’t pasting the complete link of the youtube video, i.e., the ‘https://’ didn’t get copied while I copied the link and pasted it on the blog post. So, I manually added ‘https://’ before every link and its all good now, working perfectly :)
  Thanks a lot everyone for the help!
