Suddenly, I see that my YouTube videos, which had previously been posted and working, are no longer posted as videos. Only the short-code is showing in my postings. Very unusual…never happened with me before.

Is anyone else having this problem right now?

Hi there,
Long time – no connect. :) No one has posted this morning on this issue. Assuming others do exist, they could have posted during the night Have you tried searching forum threads?

Hi timethief,

Yes, haven’t been able to find anything out. It’s really strange.

Have you viewed the blog using a different browser? Which broswer and version of it are you using? Please post URLs and I’ll check to see what I can see using Firefox 3.6.13 and IE8. Staff are going to need URLs of the posts the videos have disappeared from.

Yes, I’ve tried different browsers. Here’s one of the posts:

Okay, i think i might have found the problem.

I was typing the youtube tag in uppercases [YouTube] and [YOUTUBE]

try typing it all in lowercases [youtube=], it fixed my videos.

@disembedded and bigbangkr
I confirm I see only shortcode links using both Firefox 3.6.13 and IE8 and I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

@bigbangkr
Staff will need URLs of the posts to cehck.

Thanks, but my posts are fixed now, I don’t have any posts with the problem now. I went back to fix the tag and it solved it.

@timethief No problem!

@disembedded I checked out your post and it seems you were doing the same thing as me.

Instead of typing this in the HTML view,
“[YouTube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ochyO45Jb0g&w=700&h=420]”

Try this:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ochyO45Jb0g&w=700&h=420]

Good luck.

You’re right. The big problem is that they worked before, and I have maybe 200-250 YouTube videos on my site, in over three years of postings. I have to go back and change all of them now, when they worked perfectly until just a few days ago? Impossible….

Up until a few hours ago all my videos could be seen now they’re all gone. I don’t know what to do to fix the problem.
