Hola a todos! / Hello everybody!
I'm trying to insert a YouTube video in a post but WP 2.0.2 doesn't allow me. I've tried writing the code using the Rich Editor and without using it. But the videos don't work. Do you know how could I do this?
YouTube videos inside WP 2.0.2 (22 posts)

@ simplyanna,
I've seen it when I whas at your site. So now Im sure it will work out, but until now whit no positive result. -
Posted 2 years ago #usually underneath the video on youtube.com there like a box or something that give you either the link to the video on the site or the code of the video to put on your site.
Does that make sense?

Why limit yourself to just one video, when you can have an entire youtube gallery on your site.

1. activate plugin
2. use "plain" editor
3. click on the button to add a video
4. specify video id (the thing after the v= of the video url) -
@ Anna,
I hope you dont think Im that dum. The code is just not working on my site -
Posted 2 years ago #VaamYob - cool :) thank for the plugin.
red-star - i just copy the code and paste it into the writing area.
p.s: have visual rich editor deactivate.

Posted 2 years ago #I fix this problem in WP 2.0.2:
1.- In admin panel, deactivate "Use the visual rich editor when writing" in "User" - "your profile"..
2.- Deactivate "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically " in "options" - "writing".
Ready.. you can use "Embeddable Player" from youtube:
Example:

Posted 2 years ago #Suddenly today the My Tube plug in causes the whole blog to lock. I can access admin pages, but not the blog itself. This includes pages that do not include the youtube content. The page just sits there endlessly loading with no result. Eventually it stops with a blank page.
Disabling the plug in makes the site work again, less the you tube support of course. Upgrading to the latest build did not solve the problem.

Posted 2 years ago #Hey all,
I drove myself crazy today because I wanted to easily embed YouTube while keeping the WYSIWYG editor turned on. I figured out how and did a write-up. Thought I'd track down fellow frustrated wordpressers and let you know that it's been done, and fairly easily:

Posted 2 years ago #I have private videos hosted on YouTube that I want to be able to display embedded on my blog. I'm using the wpvideo plugin, which works great. Thing is, *I* can play a private video in the blog, but when someone else tries it from another machine, the video image comes up, but it only says "loading..." when they click on the play button. I don't suppose there's a way around this?

Posted 2 years ago #THANKS!
After searching for a solution for a loooong time, I finally found this secret bit of information:
"2.- Deactivate "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically " in "options" - "writing"."
I didn't want to install plug-ins, etc. and I was getting jealous that people got this working in default WP 2.0 but not me... BUT now it works.
This thread can probably save lots of people headaches.
Thanks again. !!

Posted 2 years ago #Probably an awesome plugin but clear instructions would be nice. This is from his FAQ: "You will see a set of buttons, experiment with those buttons to see what you can do."
I wish he was joking, but it looks like he would rather people fumble with his plugin instead of writing some instructions.
Question: Does anyone know how to make a gallery for your own username?
