  Youtube video embed does not work – I have followed the instructions outlined on your website but nothing will work. Please could you let me know how to rectify this problem.

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  When you say that your YouTube videos won’t embed, could you give me an example from your site?

  Also, while our editor is absolutely supposed to do it itself, sometimes it won’t pick up that a something is a YouTube video. If for some reason it doesn’t you can always go in and embed it yourself using the following shortcode:

  [youtube http://youtu.be/24a12345LUs]
  or
  [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24a12345LUs]

  (make sure you don’t use the youtube link that includes the word “embed” as that can mess our shortcodes up!).

  If these don’t work, please send a link to your posts that aren’t working on over and I’ll be happy to take a look!

  Hello!

  Thank you so much for your help – I was obviously using the wrong code and it all works fine now.

  Thanks again
