Problem with embedding

  For some reason no matter what I try when I try to embed something from YouTube, Spotify, Podbean, Soundcloud or any other inbuilt players on my Word Press site, it instead shows up on my page as a giant grey box with the player either taking up 1/4 or 1/8 of the box, but you can’t actually access or click on it. It’s like it is just a picture.

  Any ideas?

  Of course, thank you for your reply.
  Here’s a link to the site and one of the pages where there is an example of what happens to what I’m trying to embed:

  Thanks for the link! The site you have there isn’t hosted with WordPress.com. Instead, it’s with another company. The forums here are for sites hosted at WordPress.com, but we can point you in the next best direction. :)

  Next, pose your question over in the WordPress forums so the community can take a look with you to try to help you determine the cause.
