  My blog posts where I’ve used the [youtube=”URL”] to embed videos are just showing a blank extra space where the code is instead of the videos (you can see it on the first post on the blog in two places).

  Is this a temporary glitch, or has something changed? I feel like WordPress is beginning to break down, have had to visit the support forum waaaaaay more than usual lately :(

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

  I checked this post Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai (1960) and the video plays fine for me. I’m using Firefox 12. Maybe you have a browser issue. Have you clearing your browser cache and cookies? > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  These are the troubleshooting steps we take whenever any issues like this arise:
  clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
  updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
  confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416
  confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654
  confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
  resetting your router and modem and rebooting your computer
  then logging in using the secure https:// log-in see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
  trying another browser

  If those do not work for you then we need to know
  (1) how you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com. The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.

  (2) exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

  I assume Staff sprinkled some magic dust in the backend and fixed this but I could be wrong. ;) Happy blogging. :)
