* I’m trying to embed a YouTube or an MP4 video on the landing page, but it’s not
working on the Coming Soon page. I’ve testing the video on the blog’s pages and
it works there, so I’m assuming I’m running into a problem with this plugin.
* I tried embedding it using source codes, the YouTube embed, and the WordPress
uploader and nothing’s working. Please help!

* URL is stillwaterproject.com in case that’s helpful. I’ve tried it with Vimeo
now too and it’s still not working.

* Hi,
* You have to manually embed video, shortcodes are not support in the free version.
* Please let me know if you have any more questions.
* Thanks

* I’m manually entering this code:
The Video screen appears small. Adjust
manually and is always the same size.

* Hey John,
Sorry to open up this thread again, but I’m having the same problem
as the other two posters. When I try to manually embed code on the “Text” tab(
in the “Description” area) it just shows a white box with no video.
* The embed code I enter is:
* And when I hit live preview, it shows a blank white box and changes the code
as follows:
* Would I need to add the css code you posted above as well? If so, forgive my
ignorance, but exactly where would I post it?
* Thank you!
