 * I followed your instructions for posting videos but I really can’t make it work…
 * When I use the video format and something like this:
 *     ```
       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtzv1YvdfsR0
   
       <!–more–>
       ```
   
 * there is no video displaying at homepage or single post.
    And when switching 
   to the standard post format I get the video at single post page but not at homepage….
 * Any clues?

 * Hi [@dsl225](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsl225/),
 * There’s a separate thread about this here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-post-formatting-problems/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-post-formatting-problems/)

 * Thanks Anders but my issue doesn’t seem to be similar and also I really don’t
   use (and never will) Gutenberg at all – always Classic Editor.
 * I don’t have text formatting issues and the other poster gets his video loading
   at homepage while I don’t.
 * Do you mean that the root of the problem is the same?

 * In that case, the issues are probably separate.
 * If you copy the code below, create a new post with the video format, switch to
   the “Text” tab, paste it and publish it, does it display correctly?

 * No, I tested different ways yesterday and nothing works.
    I also created a free
   Sandbox site to check if the issue was with my host and the result is the same.
   The Sandbox has expired but I can still access it, maybe you also can: [http://impossible-hummingbird.w5.poopy.life/](http://impossible-hummingbird.w5.poopy.life/)

 * This is how it actually displays when using the method you suggest above.
    If
   you can’t access it, here is the capture: [https://cloudup.com/cVWposZ_fm0](https://cloudup.com/cVWposZ_fm0)
 * and here’s the same when using the same code in the visual text box:

 * Hi [@dsl225](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsl225/) ,
 * Strange – it works on the demo site for Garfunkel, which is running the latest
   version of WordPress and the theme. See the “Video test” post here: [https://andersnoren.se/themes/garfunkel/page/2/](https://andersnoren.se/themes/garfunkel/page/2/)(
   created today, but backdated to put it on the second page in the archive).
 * The post contains the text in my previous reply, added through the Classic Editor(
   with the “Text” mode).

 * You are absolutely right!
 * Here’s what happened:
    For convenience, I copied your readme file into a page
   of the site and then copied the code from the html rendering of that page instead
   of going to the HTML view of the text…
 * The result can be seen in my original post:
 * > <!–more–>
 * is not the same as:
    `<!--more-->`
 * Really sorry for that, my mistake.
    And my apologies for wasting your time.

 * [@dsl225](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsl225/) No worries! Glad you got
   it working.
