  Hi there!

  I’ve been having a lot of issues with integrating YouTube videos into my blog posts with the new Post interface. I don’t mind it. It looks nice and all, but if I go to add media and insert a YouTube video, I can only do it once and have to post to public without saving to private for it to actually integrate the video.

  On top of that, if there are any edits to be made to the text of my blog posts, I have to edit them VIA the mobile app in order to not lose the YouTube video player and have a link there instead.

  Can you please advise me how to fix this issue?

  Thanks

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

  Hi there,

  Thanks for your note, and I’m sorry you’ve been experiencing this difficulty!

  You can still edit your posts in the “classic” manner, via your Dashboard at Posts → All Posts.

  This is what you’ll see if you open your post in that manner:

  Because of the method with which you’re posting, adding media, and editing, I think this will be your best solution.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
