# 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 😉

 * Ok just wanted to post this link that I found; I guess this was solved 😉
 * I just wanted to make sure… check out this link I ran across:
