Title: HTML changes (visual to HTML and back) Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # HTML changes (visual to HTML and back) * [jedstephen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jedstephen/) * (@jedstephen) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-changes-visual-to-html-and-back/) * Hello. * I’m trying to embed a video from a website and it works fine on my other website, but on WordPress it does not. What happens, when I flip back to visual then back to HTML, my code changes and when I view it live, it won’t work. How do I avoid WordPress from changing my code? * This is the code I type: * * * * Some posts suggested I don’t flip to the ‘visual’ tab, but that didn’t work either. If I just stay on the ‘HTML’ tab, the press ‘preview’ or go to my site, I just get a link to my video. * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did a quick search to come up with a few which can be viewed by clicking the link below: [https://wordpress.org/search/video+embedding+plugin](https://wordpress.org/search/video+embedding+plugin) * Do let me know if that is helpful. * ~Tanveer * Thread Starter [jedstephen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jedstephen/) * (@jedstephen) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-changes-visual-to-html-and-back/#post-7716967) * Hi Tanveer, * Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. Your reply brings me to another problem I’m having, I can’t add plugins to my site. It says, “Uploading your own plugins is not available on WordPress.com.” * If you or anybody could help me with that, it would be great. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-changes-visual-to-html-and-back/#post-7716968) * I’m sorry but you are in the wrong place.
