I can't see any video

I too cannot see any video embedded in my post. I cannot show you an example as the site is new and is local on my computer. But here all the info that I can provide you:

1- The WP version is 3.4.2
2- Your latest plugin ver. 2.6.2 was installed, and activated
3- There is no other video plugin installed (such as jetpack?)
4- Tried both on Firefox and Safari to no avail
5- All the followings were tried again to no avail
(that is upon publishing the post, no video appears
when you try to view it):
[youtube]ID[/youtube]
[youtube_video]ID[/youtube_video]
[youtube]URL[/youtube]
[youtube_video]URL[/youtube_video]
6- I am using the default options/profile
7- I even tried “API should not be used” under YouTube API and
no effect
8- Upon inspecting the source page, I can see the followings
reference in the page:
<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’aye_dynamic-css’ href=’http://localhost:8888/farbarg/wp-content/plugins/youtube-embed/css/aye-main.min.css?ver=3.4.2&#8242; type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
9- I also tried the following experiment. In the post I have the followings:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgYAHHkPFs
[youtube]http://youtu.be/XLgYAHHkPFs[/youtube]

Now the post, naturally shows the embedded video due to the first line but not because of the second line. Note that page source has it:
<section class=”entry-content”>
<p dir=”ltr” ><iframe width=”453″ height=”340″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/XLgYAHHkPFs?fs=1&feature=oembed&#8221; frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe></p><div style=”clear:both”></div><p dir=”ltr” > </p><div style=”clear:both”></div> <div class=”clear”></div>
</section><!– .entry-content –>

10- Finally, and this is not related to your plugin but maybe of some use to you: if I do NOT use your plugin and simply type in my post the above URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgYAHHkPFs), the video will appear embedded. However if the http is turned into https then no video is shown but instead the text of the URL, namely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgYAHHkPFs will appear in the post.

I really appreciate if you could give me a hint on what is going on.

Dear Dariss:
I tried again as you prescribed. My post content only contains the following and nothing more:
[youtube]XLgYAHHkPFs[/youtube]

No embedded video was observed.
And then I checked the source code generated upon viewing. The only reference to your code is the same as I had mentioned before:
<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’aye_dynamic-css’ href=’http://localhost:8888/mysite/wp-content/plugins/youtube-embed/css/aye-main.min.css?ver=3.4.2&#8242; type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

In fact if I search for the term ‘youtube’ in the source code,
there is absolutely no reference to it other than the above line.

Thanks.

Before I start to explain further, here is the content of
the post in its entirety:
[youtube]XLgYAHHkPFs[/youtube]

[what-youtube/]

OK, here the experiments that I ran and the results:
1- I added the code to the end of the functions.php and
the whole postings went down. (that is when I viewed
the front page, I just got a blank page for the entire
site.)
2- I removed the code from functions, and then added it
to the loop.php of the theme. Here is what it looks like:
(I have included some sections of the top so you could see
where I have placed the code):

<?php
function identify-youtube-function( $atts , $content ) {

global $shortcode_tags;

return ‘<p>YouTube function in use: ‘ . $shortcode_tags[ ‘youtube’ ] . ‘</p>’;
}
?>
<?php if( have_posts() ) : ?>
<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
// some codes go here
<?php add_shortcode( ‘what-youtube’, ‘identify-youtube-function’); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

And here are the results when checking the source code for the site:

The front site containing all posts have the following code:
<p>[what-youtube/]& nbsp;</p>
(note that there is no mention of ‘YouTube function in use’ here)

In the source code for the post itself:

<section class=”entry-content”>
<p dir=”ltr” >[what-youtube/]</p><div style=”clear:both”></div><p dir=”ltr” > </p><div style=”clear:both”></div> <div class=”clear”></div>
</section><!– .entry-content –>

(again no traces of ‘YouTube function in use’ in this source code)

3- Finally, it occured to me that maybe it will help you to trace the issue better if you become aware of the fact that I am using “minimatica” as the theme. Maybe there is something in this theme which is causing the issue. Perhaps you can ran a quick experiment here on this theme?

Thanks for all the support.

Hi David,
OK this time after adding the new code to functions.php the following appeared on the post itself:

YouTube function in use: aye_video_shortcode_default

In the source code of the above page, I found these:

<section class=”entry-content”>
<p dir=”ltr” >YouTube function in use: aye_video_shortcode_default</p><div style=”clear:both”></div><p dir=”ltr” > </p><div style=”clear:both”></div><p dir=”ltr” > </p><div style=”clear:both”></div><p dir=”ltr” > </p><div style=”clear:both”></div> <div class=”clear”></div>
</section><!– .entry-content –>

Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean. As I mentioned it is
being tested on a local server. There is no URL. But
if you mean the URL for the video, try:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgYAHHkPFs

I think maybe the best course of action is to check
the theme on your side and see if you encounter the
same issue as mine.

Thanks

David,
I am not sure if the last comment by you was intended for me or not. But if you meant me, I can assure you that I have NOT installed “Jetpack” (in fact I did not know about this plugin — and still do not know what it is!! — till I installed your plugin and started to read about it in your support forum).
In addition, I am also not sure what source page you had in mind, as the ones that I have sent you has absolutely no reference to to “YouTube Error”
PS: I can try also to dis-activate ALL my plugins to see if it has any effects.

Best
