Hi all,
I am not getting any video by putting
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDYszPCf_s]
instead i get the same above shortcode text in the post diplay page.
Why is it so?
Thanks.

Have you tried just entering the video url – eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDYszPCf_s
Have you tried switching to the default theme?

As said above, just enter the URL on it’s own, WordPress will do the rest for you.. 😉
Yes, Thanks alot, simply entering
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDYszPCf_s
gets me a youtube player embedded and working.
But why
doesn’t work. any idea. should i put do_shortcode or something in my functions.php file
