Videos don´t show in Blog
-
Heya,
I´m having issues with my videos now. They show up fine in the post (the ural is there), but on the page you cannot see them. The blog post headline only shows up.

Oh, and I have added the hide comments in the custom CSS and all of a sudden, they show up again, but strangely enough when I write a post, there is no box for unchecking or allowing the comments, at all.
Any suggestions to these ones?
Cheers
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What video URL are you trying to embed? On this post
http://brezelbar.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/video-the-magic-sticks/ the page source shows<!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered--> -
Hey.
when I´m in write article, the youtube url shows alright (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYvMEA4Gc_Q) and the video is still on youtube working.
The posts (linked redacted by -sl1k) have been there for longer and they worked alright before.
But lately I´m having several issues with wordpress and things disappearing without me touching them.
Might there be another explanation for this?
Thanx in advance!

We can’t see your posts in the Editor or previews. We need links to the actual published post.
The correct way of embedding a YouTube video is explained in this Support Doc http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ Check out the troubleshooting at the bottom. If you are just dropping the YouTube link in your post, you must make sure to UNLINK the hyperlink.
And yes there was a recent change for those using the shortcode https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/youtube-not-posting/page/2?replies=49#post-564623
FWIW I just tried posting the YouTube video in my test blog by dropping the link in a test post and it worked OK. Make sure to unlink the hyperlink.

Thanx, the video post gave me the clue. I used to put the video codes (without hyperlink) as [youtube = url].
The spaces around the = made the videos disappear, although the two years I was using it before, it worked fine.
Thanx!
But does anyone know about the comments off in Mistylooks that all of a sudden are showing up again, although in the custom CSS they are disabled?

Sorry, can’t help you on that. There are only a couple or three forum volunteers who can help with CSS questions. Hopefully one of them will be by soonish. Good luck!
