  When inserting a YouTube video into a post, you can simply copy and paste the video URL onto it’s own line in your editor, i.e.:

  If you’re still having trouble, can you send us a link to a post where you’re trying to embed a video?

  Okay, I’ve just fixed that up for you. It looks like the youtube shortcode was bolded. I just removed the bolding and also removed the shortcode so that the video URL was sitting on it’s own line.

  Can you take a look at the changes and let me know if you have any questions?
