    Wordpress automatically strips the iframe code from youtube, so if you want to get a youtube to display properly you must use an iframe shortcode plugin. Go to the plugins section then search for something like: "youtube iframe shortcode"

    Hi,

    Here are the steps to embed youtube videos correctly onto your website.

    1. Right under the video that you are using for your website, there is a "SHARE" button, it is on the right of the "Like" and "Add To" button, click on it.

    2. Next, click on the "EMBED" button which is on the right of the "EMAIL" button.

    3. A window with a embedding code will appear, it goes something like this:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NShgF-vc3rM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    4. Copy the codes and paste it into your website.

    You can change some of the display attributes like width, height, etc. Just google it and I am sure you will be fine. Hope the info helps, cheers.

    Let me know if you have further enquiries.

    Chris.
