  Hi all,

  I just moved my blog over from free wordpress.com domain to a paid hosted domain.

  The question is this: In wordpress.com, inserting youtube videos is simple using [youtube = address], and the video would appear.

  But this “[youtube = address]” doesn’t seem to work for my wordpress site on the hosted domain.

  What am I missing here?

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

  No, it doesn’t work in independent WordPress blogs. You can use the Embed code instead.
