Title: embed code not working, error 404 instead Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # embed code not working, error 404 instead * Resolved [diegocg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegocg/) * (@diegocg) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-code-not-working-error-404-instead/) * Hi I’m new a wordpress and I’m having a problem with embed codes from any site video. The only way to put videos on my account is with the youtube url, but the embed code is not working for any site I want to use. I’m willing to make an adult blog site and embedding would be a good (starting idea) idea (using xhamster,xvideos,red tube, etc). * After I copy the embedding code and try to publish a new post or editing and existing one after that I get error 404 * 404 OOOPS! you are not in the right place. * WE CAN HELP YOU FIND YOUR PATH. * and the url the browser show is: [http://sitename.com/wp-admin/post.php](http://sitename.com/wp-admin/post.php) * I have two sites hosted by different hosting companies and I use the same computer for both sites and I only get that problem with one of them. * I want to know is there’s a way to fix tahat problem myself or what I have to request to my hosting company. * Thanks in advance Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-code-not-working-error-404-instead/#post-7624713) * -404 indicates failure to communicate with the server. Reasons for this failure to communicate with the server can vary. It could be a conflict with the code you are trying to use. * Thread Starter [diegocg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegocg/) * (@diegocg) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-code-not-working-error-404-instead/#post-7624716) * [Mon Aug 01 15:57:00 2016] [error] [client 66.249.7] (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /home/chichona/public_html/404.shtml [Mon Aug 01 15:57:00 2016] [error] [client 66.249.7] File does not exist: /home/chichona/ public_html/tag * these are the latest logs in the error log * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-code-not-working-error-404-instead/#post-7624733) * Looks like permission issue. * I suggest discuss this permission issue with your hosting provider. * Useful codex: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) * Thread Starter [diegocg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegocg/) * (@diegocg) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-code-not-working-error-404-instead/#post-7624749) * they have answerred back my request.
