@Vivien

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I did do that and it still didn’t work, hence why I’m so stuck

@fox
Did you copy&paste Youtube’s code after switching to HTML tab in the Write section, not the Visual? As long as you copy the code in HTML, everything should work. Good luck with it.

I’ve been having huge amounts of trouble with this all day, I’ve tried EVERYTHING and can’t get it to work. I did everything you said above but when I click ’save’ the code just disappears. I tried copying/pasting Youtube’s own embed code but the same thing happens. I can’t try plugins as I don’t have the wp/plugins folder needed to upload them (I have a blog on Baywords which uses Wordpress). Am I doing something wrong? I cannot figure out what’s going wrong.

You’re very welcome, UrWar. Have you upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress 2.5? It has a new way of embedding video and other media links.

Chris, did you try just pasting the code from YouTube?

You’re welcome, Sandra.

Thank you very much for this article. I had a hard time trying to insert YouTube videos on my WP website, now the plugin and tips were really useful.
