youtube video
-
I posted a link to a youtube video and only the blue hyperlink shows up not the video. How can I get a the video to appear so viewers can press play???/
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Make sure the youtube link is on its own line in the post then click the cursor on it. Go to the editing tools at the top and click on the broken chain icon. That way it will appear in the post as a video, not a link.

Hmmmm..i truly hate to be a pain but that’s not working either. could it be the youtube link itself?
-
It could be, you seem to have an unusual format link. Try
Which is the same video using the normal format or
which is a youtube shortcode

I had a similar sort of problem the other day but it ended up resolving itself. In the meantime I manually re-typed the pasted link and then deleted the pasted one.
For some reason the link wouldn’t unlink but the typed one turned into a video just like it always had in the past.
It sounds weird I know, but it worked for me. -
absolutely nothing is working. At this point I will have to delete the blog altogether.
Thanks

Click “Add Media” Then click Insert from URL. Enter this after the http:// : youtube.com/watch?v=CL1VqmrX9-c and then click Done then it should show your video once you see the post again.

Please try typing this without changing anything onto a single line

If the youtube shortcode I provided does not work then we need to know your details.If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:
1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

I am just going to check here that you are putting the link on its own line, no spaces or anything else before or after the link.
-
You need to follow metan’s suggestion and make sure it is not a live link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/youtube-video-5?replies=13#post-1220893

No, I mean about making sure the link is NOT clickable when you put it in. Use the broken link icon on it so it’s not blue and highlighted. Also, put it in the Visual editor, not the text editor.
-
Right. The link is NOT clickable. And when I click on Visual editor nothing happens.
I have never had this problem before.
-
I just tested it and the code provided by timethief in the shaded box up above works perfectly.
-
If typing it isn’t working, just copy-paste it. This is the code you actually have instead:
<code><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL1VqmrX9-c" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL1VqmrX9-c</a></code>
