  Hello dear team,

  since yesterday, I have a problem with inserting links from youtube with an iframe-link. Every time I want to include a link in a blog post, it disappears as soon as I publish it.

  Is this a general problem on wordpress or is it an issue on youtube? Not being able to include videos from youtube would be pretty inconvenient….

  Well, thanks in advance for any help!!

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

  Please try it again now.

  We researched the issue and found that YouTube had changed the format of their embed code, so we updated WordPress.com to work with the new formatting. The iframe embed code should get converted into a shortcode again now, just like it used to.

  If you have any trouble, please reply back here and include the YouTube video link or iframe code you’re using.
