  I host about 6 blogs in WordPress.com and all of the linked Youtube videos stopped working.

  The videos on the page below no longer display and just show the typed code [Youtube=http://etc…]

  2010-2011 Winter – Rags In Advanced Beginners Agility Class

  This seems to impact all browsers on all my blogs, Windows7, iPad They all used to work, now nothing.

  Any help anyone can provide would be a help. I don’t think it’s any type of copyright issue as the videos above are handheld camcorder pictures of my dog with no music.

  Thanks
  Larry

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

  The problem is you’ve used a capital Y. Change it to lowercase.

  Thanks for the response it, worked, I had to do 2 things:
  1.change the uppercase “Y” to lowercase and
  2 remove spaces on both sides of the equal sign.

  Now I just need to go back to a lot of postings and update their code. Did something change in WordPress recently?

  Thanks for the help.

  Yes, staff altered the way all the shortcodes work so you have to do it exactly like the example, letter for letter, space for space, capitalization (or not) for capitalization.

  But do contact Support with this as well. They created a tool that they can run on the affected blogs to correct the shortcode markup you’ve used. See: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/youtube-not-posting/page/2?replies=54#post-564623
