Update on Iframe and embed code stripping

    Ok, I know this was a problem some years ago, but back then I wasn’t doing this so never knew of the issue…now I am and I would like someone to bring me up to date on how this is NOW, with the latest and current versions of WordPress, like 4.1.

    Is there still something in WordPress that strips out the Iframe or embed code of say for instance a YouTube video? I’ve been testing it here for the last few days and don’t seem to be having any trouble, but I kept running across these posts from like I said a while ago where people were adding embed / iframe codes into a scheduled post containing a YouTube video but when the posts were published then the code was stripped out and a blank post was published…can someone just give me a CURRENT rundown on this situation.

    FYI: I am only using the text editor, and not the visual editor because I noticed there was some mention of that.. AND I have administrative rights to edit the site.

    Maybe now it’s a non-issue? I just don’t want to be using it under false pretenses and then later find out that this issue might resurface and I accidentally post blank posts…

    THANKS ALL!

    Ok, yep thanks I have already read that before posting…I don’t think it answers my question…

    This, from the link in your reply to me, about half way down the page it says:

    YouTube – only public and “unlisted” videos and playlists – “private” videos will not embed.

    I’m specifically talking about SCHEDULED posts that contain SCHEDULED YouTube videos; therefore these videos are still considered private until their scheduled release time so you cannot use just the URL to do the embedding like the link/Codex says; you have to use the embed code…which brings me back to …will I start running into the embed / iframe code being stripped out?

    I’ve done 3 more tests since I asked that this morning and so far it’s working great, with no stripping of any code. I’m sure hoping that like you said maybe I’m worrying about something that won’t even happen since a lot has changed (as you said) from back them 😉

    I sure do appreciate your help…any other thoughts? It does seem to be working just fine.

    I’m just very paranoid and very soon I will having to schedule 1 for every week to be released on a specific week day, all year long and I don’t want to be getting into a situation where it works great …at first lol 😉
