  Hello,

  I cannot add an embed from YouTube to WordPress. Do you know how to do that?
  Thanks

  Did you read the FAQ posted at the head of these forums? I believe it covers Youtube and provides a link to the instructions on how to do it.

  edit: A quick look at your blog shows you’re trying to add in the embed code into a post. Please read the instructions provided. I would also suggest placing the HTML code into the code tab of the editor. That’s what it’s there for. Looks like you’re placing it directly into the Visual tab of the editor. That’s why the HTML you’re trying to add in is displaying as text and not as actual code.

  Regards,

  As well canlimero, if you are adding a new post in the admin area, if you scroll down to the place where you can upload files, there is a “video” tab that can be used for quick reference of what syntax you need to use to add a YouTube video.

  Agreed although last time I looked, it’s only showing some of the links. :(
