 * When I embed youtube clips into a post via adding the url or by using `wp_oembed_get('
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v='.$clip_url);` it displays the video and then 
   puts a right bracket ) straight after it. I’ve tried other videos like Vimeo 
   and they are fine. Its just YouTube. I’ve tried different YouTube videos and 
   all do the same. When I check the source code they are added outside the iframe.

    Is there any solution for this?

 * it has been a few years, but I think there was an issue with inserting videos
   on WP. I used [FitVids](http://wordpress.org/plugins/fitvids-for-wordpress/) 
   and it worked.

 * As far as I can see this is a problem on Youtube’s side. It happens if you grab
   the embed code from the YT page itself as well: YT generates an additional (useless)
   closing bracket.

 * I ended up assigning it to a variable and trimming it before echoing it.
 *  `$embed = wp_oembed_get(‘[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=&#8217](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=&#8217);.
   $clip_url);
    $embed = rtrim($embed,’)’); echo $embed;`

 * Thanks, katmac_aus, that’s what I did as well, but this is rather workaround 
   than solution.
    I use the Teris theme from wpexplorer ([http://www.wpexplorer.com/tetris-wordpress-theme/](http://www.wpexplorer.com/tetris-wordpress-theme/))–
   the strange thing is that I use few months already and until now all was OK. 
   Thanks one again for the reply!
