  Yesterday I had no problems with embedding video on my site. Today I can’t embed anything. Even when I post the code in HTML as soon as I “preview” or “Update” the code disappears. Any ideas?

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

  Anywhere. It will not let me embed from any platform, including YouTube. When I embed the code it just disappears as soon as I publish, preview or update. Yesterday i was posting video just fine.

  We can’t allow their embed code for security reasons. Make sure that you’re following the specific guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  I’ve followed all the directions. It’s not YouTube. It’s all embed code. Yesterday I posted video. Today I can’t. From anywhere. Code gets erased.

  Yes, as stated we can’t allow their embed code for security reasons. Make sure that you are following the specific guide for the specific video service that you’re trying to embed.
