Embed Video No Longer Appears
-
I manage a site for a friend who is a news reporter. I regularly add an embed of any TV reports she has done, and until last Thursday 11/7 had no issues. I made no changes to plug-in’s or configuration, and I’m not aware of any updates done automatically by WP, but as of Friday all Embed videos no longer show up. I don’t see a box or anything. No error messages, its almost like the aren’t there. This doesn’t affect just new posts, all the posts are now missing the embed video.
The site is surayafadel.tv and a sample of the embed I use is
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://CBSLA.images.worldnow.com/interface/js/WNVideo.js?rnd=621367;hostDomain=video.losangeles.cbslocal.com;playerWidth=615;playerHeight=365;isShowIcon=true;clipId=9510650;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=CBS.LA%252Fworldnowplayer;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=fixed'></script><a href="http://video.losangeles.cbslocal.com" title=""></a>[Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]
Which I get directly from the news station. I have tried the embed on other test sites running 3.71 and get same situation. Not sure what could have changed. Any help appreciated.
Thank you

I don’t know why the embedded videos might have disappeared, but you could try looking at the Embed writeup here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
It might help keep your videos from disappearing in the future if you follow the suggestions.
Update – For reasons I cant explain. If I put the same exact embed code 2x’s on each post the embed video returns.
If I post the embed code (as shown below) twice then it works fine. If I only post it once then the video doesn’t show on the post.

I wonder if the <!–more–> tag is throwing it off?
This is happening to me as well. I’m trying to embed the following code from a CBS Local Website which uses the world now player. I’m using the Modern News Theme.
If I paste the code below in the text box and click preview changes or update:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://CBSSF.images.worldnow.com/interface/js/WNVideo.js?rnd=920395;hostDomain=video.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com;playerWidth=620;playerHeight=349;isShowIcon=true;clipId=10830214;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=CBS.SF%252Fworldnowplayer;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay’></script>
It auto-changes to:
…and nothing shows up on the visual tab or the live webpage.
Here’s what my live word press page looks like:

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/10/31/older-americans-still-saddled-with-student-debt-find-social-security-benefits-at-risk/I am the administrator of the site (I’m new to Word Press). Super Administrator is not an option in my “change role” drop-down box.
A co-worker suggested I add the http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com domain to my theme’s whitelist… but I cant find a whitelist anywhere in my theme settings (Modern News).
Please Help. I’ve searched everything and can’t figure out how to embed video from the CBS Local sites.
