    I was not able to reproduce this problem on my test site.

    If you have Jetpack you can use a short-code and get the video to work as an interim step

    With wp 3.8 it is working. Here is the code I tried

    show a video

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve found out a bit more.

    It works if I use simply
    [tpg_get_posts]
    but not if I use eg
    [tpg_get_posts category=”scouts”]

    Same behaviour on 3.8 as 3.7.1

    thanks

    One other thing to try is wrapping the url in the [embed] tag
    [embed] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrmUy3YUIYY [/embed]

    It may there must be a line after the url if the embed is just the url — see the codex for embed.

    It may be the url is the last line on the post and it is not be decoded correctly when being brought into the page.

    Yes, that’s it – it just needed a blank line after the url.
    many thanks,
    Glenn
