 * Hi there,
 * While trying to embed a video from Instagram in our blog, we noticed we can’t
   find blocks at all. On another theme for another site we own, blocks are easy
   to find. So, I am not sure if this is a theme issue, or if we get blocks to appear
   somehow?
 * We are using WP version 5.7.2 and the Enfold theme. Please help–thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocks-are-missing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Have you tried their method to embed the video?

 * Hi Ralph [@hiyottaunits](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiyottaunits/) thank
   you for the suggestion. I just tried this, following their directions (I think?
   I did this one: Shortcodes can be used in a text area in pages, posts, sliders
   and widget areas. Enable debug mode to view the page shortcode.) but what I still
   get is a black area where a video should be and in the top of it is the URL to
   the video that should be embedded. Any idea what this means?
 * Thanks again.

 * Hi [@learningwp35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningwp35/) – I suggest
   you deactivate all plugins and check if that embedded video works. Sometimes 
   the issues come from the conflicts of the plugins. Anytime.

 * Hi [@learningwp35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningwp35/) – Have 
   you see the video element tutorial on that page?

 * You can insert video element into your page without using shortcode. Maybe you
   can try any YouTube. If it works, the problem might be the Enfold theme doesn’t
   support Instagram video yet.

 * Hi [@learningwp35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningwp35/) – I forgot
   to say even the theme’s video element doesn’t support Instagram, you still can
   embed that video. You can follow the steps.

 * Hi, Ralph [@hiyottaunits](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiyottaunits/) 
   thanks for all your helpful hints. I tried using the embed link (thanks–I had
   forgotten about that since I don’t need to use it on my other website/theme).
   IN the back end I can see a sort of shadow of the Instagram video posts I am 
   trying to embed but when I preview the page they show up with an error message
   that the video can’t be viewed.
 * And I watched the tutorial and read the article. YouTube works perfectly, so 
   I am going to try to find a support area for the theme Enfold, because you may
   be right that they just don’t offer Instagram video embedding yet. Thanks again!
