# Failed to embed

 * Hi.
 * Lately, WordPress starting to fail when I try to embed youtube links. Here’s 
   what I get everytime.
    [http://screencast.com/t/suKdmQdkXKW](http://screencast.com/t/suKdmQdkXKW)
 * It posts only the link in text format, there’s no embeded youtube video.
 * I did a little research about this issue and found out that some plugins or themes
   used to cause it.
    I don’t have any active plugins on my site and I tried 3 different
   themes, but the issue persists.
 * Does anyone have the idea what may be causing the issue and how to fix it?
 * Regards,
    Ivica.

 * Hi pesovski!
 * Does the video embed when the post is published? Have you tried using the `https`
   version of the embed link? Or the direct link to the video?

 * Hey Jose.
 * Yes, I tried both http and https and both times it failed.
 * The video is still not embedding, neither in the WP admin nor in the post.
 * Here’s how it looks in the post: [http://screencast.com/t/k4mQP3S0jC](http://screencast.com/t/k4mQP3S0jC)
 * So it’s just a link…
 * Any ideas?

 * What happens if you use the provided embed code or the shortlink?

 * Are you able to switch to Twenty Fifteen to test?
 * Is it _just_ that particular video that it happens to?
