  When you click on a specific video on my static front page, the video does not display. You have to click the name of the video to activate it. Why is this? Also notice it says “archived” and lists the video title. What am I doing wrong? Followed the instructions on copying the url and inserted it into the post. Appreciate any help.

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

  2813 displays only the titles of posts on category (or archive) pages unless you use the excerpt function. Though you can use the excerpt function to make a custom summary of your posts, including background colors, font properties, images, links and so on, it will not automatically display videos.

  Info about the excerpt function:
