 * Hello,
 * Evrytime I insert a youtube video on my pages it works well for the first time.
   But if I open the article and edit it in Visual Mode, and save again… the <iframe
   > part of the code simply disappears and I have to add and save it again in HTML
   mode.
 * What is the reason?
 * Thanks

 * I’m having a similar issue. The iframe vanishes along with the video and is replaced
   by a huge chunk of html relating to seoquake???? It’s got me puzzled I have to
   admit. I’ve videoed the process here on Jing [http://screencast.com/t/GvaKb01PxPK](http://screencast.com/t/GvaKb01PxPK)
   
   If anybody has an explanation for this behaviour, please let me know it’s driving
   me bonkers!!

 * WordPress removes iframe when you switch from “HTML” to “Visual” tab in your 
   editor because of the security reasons.
    1. You may paste Youtube or Vimeo link into post but sometimes it does not convert
       into video corectly.
    2. You may use WordPress default shortcode: `[embed width="500" height="400"]http://
       www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQL34ZiCNVA[/embed]`.
    3. If you simply want to embed iframe into post you can install **[iframe plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/iframe/)**
       and paste this shortcode into content: `[iframe width="640" height="480" src
       ="http://player.vimeo.com/video/3261363"]`

   into post content.

 * Blimey guys! Thanks for the response, I’m grateful. I’ll give wevitality’s first
   method a go and see how we get on. I’ll probably try your suggestion govpatel,
   on a different blog where I tend to experiment.
 * Thanks again for your input.

 * You can install **[iframe plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/iframe/)**
   and paste into content shortcode similar to this: `[iframe width="640" height
   ="480" src="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&spn=40.59616,107.138672&
   t=h&z=4&output=embed"]`

 * ok govpatel, I installed and activated mappress. It works fine and lets me create
   a map, but as soon as I create one, all of the content on that page goes invisible.
   if I delete the map, it all comes back. whats the deal?

 * That is bit odd as I can add any content I want in editor and create map on the
   page and works fine are you using shortcode in the content for the map
 * May be there is some other plugin that conflicting

 * Yes, I am using the short code, but it doesn’t matter whether I add the map to
   the page or not, as long as the map is created everything dissapears

 * As I said in my post you may have conflicting plugin so see if you work on finding
   the conflicting plugin as mappress works fine on few of the sites I am using 
   it on.

 * when you create a map do you save the map as you need to save the map for it 
   to display on the page.
