If I wan’t to embed an iframe( my iframe simply disappear after publishing it). I try to disabled all my plugins and switch to the original wordpress theme but nothing work. Firebug tell me :`{" success":false,"data":{"type":"not-embeddable","message":"http:\/\/youtu. be\/8VlLzcqAQko<\/code> failed to embed."}}` But if I test my website with the same files and database on localhost everything just work fine ? Any idea?

It needs to simply be by itself untouched: * `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlLzcqAQko` * If that fails, please leave it as is, and give us the URL of the post or page with the problem. * Thread Starter [grumo64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grumo64/) * (@grumo64) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-oembed-problems/#post-5500543) * Yes I just do that but nothing work 🙁 I can’t put the reference to the website cause of my client but you can see the code * ```

Is it still this in the editor? * `

I’m using the latest Chrome. * Note that sometimes, if you paste a link with just CTRL-V, then that text might have formatting which will prevent the embed from being instantly recognized. Chrome has a “Paste Plain Text” option with CTRL-SHIFT-V which will strip any embedded formatting, and this usually solves it for me when copy/pasting things that don’t seem to work quite how I expect them to work. * This may be a Chrome or Windows specific problem, but in case of doubt, paste it into a Notepad window and copy it back out from there again to remove any formatting. * Thread Starter [grumo64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grumo64/) * (@grumo64) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-oembed-problems/#post-5500554) * Tim: I just test with another video from vimeo… same problem. James: In both/ visual mode I just see the url without no link.

There are many possible causes for this: * – Your webserver can’t talk over SSL for whatever reason. Try using a plain http: link, not an https: one. * – Your webserver has no DNS connectivity. If this is the case, your dashboard will be really slow and not show things like the WordPress News panel and so on. * – Your webserver is behind a firewall and cannot talk to the outside world. Ask your hosting service about that. In order to embed things from YouTube or Vimeo, the server has to actually get the embed code from YouTube or Vimeo, basically, so has to be allowed to do so. * Thread Starter [grumo64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grumo64/) * (@grumo64) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-oembed-problems/#post-5500557) * I think you’re right, it seems that it’s a hosting problem because I just try to remove all my database table to force wordpress to make a new fresh install and I’ve got the same exact issue… * Thread Starter [grumo64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grumo64/) * (@grumo64) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-oembed-problems/#post-5500561) * I can see the WordPress News panel Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘youtube oEmbed problems’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [iframe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/iframe/) * [oEmbed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/oembed/) * [Youtube](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/youtube/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [grumo64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grumo64/) * Last activity: [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-oembed-problems/#post-5500561) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
