• I’ve tried embedding my music video in my post. The video won’t show unless you actually click that post otherwise it just doesn’t show up. Also tried doing it with the add video in the upload/insert section and it just comes up with a hyperlink instead of showing the embedded video! Please help! Here’s the link, it’s the latest post: http://www.vincentminor.com/newsblog/

  • Hi Vincent,
    First of all, nice song “The Trap”. You have a great voice 🙂

    About WordPress, have you tried checking your theme’s index.php and compared it with single.php file?

    I believe, the index.php file has the_excerpt and single.php file has of course the_content. If you replace the_excerpt with the_content function in index.php file, that should solve the problem.

    Try adding it under the HTML editor instead of the visual editor.

    thank you sharecommons 🙂
    I tried posting the youtube embed code in the html editor and not the visual. It didn’t do anything.
    I looked at the editor for index.php and all i could find was this but doesn’t seem like what you were saying:

    <?php
    get_header();

    if (have_posts())
    {
    while (have_posts())
    {
    art_post();
    }
    art_page_navi();
    } else {
    art_post_box(
    __(‘Not Found’, ‘kubrick’),
    ‘<p class=”center”>’ . __(‘Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.’, ‘kubrick’) . ‘</p>’
    . “\r\n” . art_get_search());
    }

    get_footer();

    I copied the URL from your site and embedded it in this post from the HTML editor on a test site.

    It is the default 20102 theme.

    Is this what you need it to do?

    that’s exactly what I want it to do on my post! For some reason it just makes a hyper link when I use the WP video button or if I just directly put in the code in html in the post it only shows up if you click on the post title and then it shows. strange! I can’t figure it out.

    Vincent, please follow this link .. Do not post the “Embed Code”, instead, just put the link. Follow this article please and see if that helps: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

    I’m researching on this and I’m sure we’ll get it working.

    Try not using the WP video button and copy-n-paste the full YouTube URL directly in using the WP HTML editor in the post.

    That should do the trick.
