Youtube Embedded code link
-
the embedded code for youtube which usually functions no problem on my wordpress.com site isn’t working now. what’s going on? I’m trying to post to my blog at oncewasnow.com
When I put the code in the post section and publish, the embedded link disappears.

I’m seeing youtube embeds working fine on your site. Screenshot:
Perhaps just a momentary glitch somewhere? Are you still have trouble seeing them?

I had to modify the code (see below). I’ve never had to do this in the past. Usually I just insert the youtube embedded code and it works fine… It would automatically convert it to wordpress compatibility. Below are the links for what I copy from youtube and what I had to modify it to be which is usually what wordpress does automatically. I don’t know why this is happening all of a sudden.
Youtube code: <iframe width=”640″ height=”360″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/dJFsEaCMdWY” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
Converted to: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJFsEaCMdWY?rel=0&w=640&h=480%5D

I don’t know why the second code went through that way… here it is:

So the issue is that WordPress.com doesn’t allow iframe embeds. The easiest way to do an embed is just to paste the youtube video URL into your post as described here:

We’re working on a way to autofix (or at least warn) posts that have iframe youtube embeds.

Like I said: I have been using youtube embedded iframe links for over a year now without any issues. I do know that most iframe embedded codes are not compatible but with youtube, the issue of using the links they provide have always functioned without a problem. Usually I put the embedded code they proved, ie:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xBMTullvZFE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>When I publish, wordpress automatically converts it to the following and all functions work properly. Instead of wordpress auto correcting these links for functionality, I am having to do it manually which is why you see it working now. Here is what I have to change it to, ie:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBMTullvZFE?rel=0&w=640&h=480]Why isn’t wordpress auto correcting anymore and when will it be fixed?
Thanks!

To rootjosh : I already looked that page up and tried the url link and it did not convert as stated. Something with that is not working as well.

Yeah, I apologize for the trouble. This appears to be a bigger issue than it initially seemed.
The dev team is looking into this. Something appears to have changed on the Youtube end that is mucking things up.
