: can't embed youtube in Corporate Response
: robpfau November 26, 2013, 03:54:37 AM
I am using the Corporate Reponse them on a Worpress site. All working 100%, but cannot embed Youtube videos using the process reommended here http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

The vidoe does not display, just the link text. Changed to a standard Wordpress theme, and it works 100%

Also tried various Youtube plugins for Wordpress with the same result. I want to use the corporate response theme, so please advise if I am doing something incorrect.

Many thanks

What exactly is or isn't happening?  "It doesn't work" doesn't really tell me what the problem is.  Are you getting errors?  Is the video not loading?  I need details before I can even guess at an answer.

...a link would also be helpful.

Apologies for being vague.

In a Text Widget
If I paste the youtube URL as per instructions on http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ there is just a blank space where I would expect the video to display.

If I use the shortcode desribed on http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ then just shortcode text is displayed where I would expect the video to display

I have also noticed that if I use the text editor in WP then all formatting is missing, as per the post in the URL below.

This URL includes the Youtube examples in a post, and in text Widget in Wiget positions.

Hope this helps

Please check the "Advanced" tab of the theme options and make sure you have "Raw HTML Mode" disabled.  That setting disables the auto-formatting in WP so that the demo content appears exactly as I want, rather than being changed before loading.

Thanks Tristan

I disabled the Raw HTML, but this has not resolved the issue.

The support pages you linked to are for wordpress.com not standalone wordpress.  The youtube shortcode and link detection are most likely part of the additional code that wordpress.com offers their users.

Wordpress.com is not Wordpress.org, their support does not apply to standalone wordpress installs.
