Adding embedded video | WordPress.org

I am waiting for my site host to upgrade so I can move to 3.3, but must limp along with 3.0 until then.

I was editing a blog post in HTML and tried add the embedding HTML from a youtube video, but WordPress seems to wipe that out when I Save Changes. Is there any way to embed a video in a posting?

Hello chuckpuckett, give this a try.

That doesn’t seem to work in WordPress 3.0. All I see is the link text, and it’s not even an active link. I can link to the video, but only as a link, not an embed.

Ahh… wrap the url in the shortcode. 🙂
