Hi all, having a problem and wonder if anyone here knows the solution. I had a hosted blog on WP platform, not the latest out few days back but the previous version. It was set up about 2 weeks back. About 1 week back, I had a post and I embeded 3 Youtube videos on it. It was fine, all the videos aligned to left automatically without extra code put in. I just used the original code that copied from Youtube, it goes like this: However, today, when I wanted to have another post with Youtube video, something went wrong. The vidoe will just hang in the middle of the screen, and destroy the whole structure of the theme, even after I switched to a few other themes. I double checked the previous Youtube post, it was still good, so, it should not be the problem of the theme. This new Youtube code goes like this: < Even I copied the exact code of my previous post, changed the video ID, and post it in this new post, the code will be changed by the system into this, and the video hang in the middle. Anyone knows how I can solve this problem? Very much appreciated.
You could use one of many you tube plug ins that allow you to just put in the url of the video. Just do a google, "Wordpress, you tube plug in" and a few should come up. I have one in the sidebar. I don't know if that will work for you, but I only need one "Tube" a day. You can make you tube galleries, thumbnail posts, mini tubes...there are many you tube plug ins
finally i found out why. the original WP rich text editor will change the nesting of the code, hence destruct the formating of theme layout. i turn off the visual editor, and the exact code remains and the post goes well!!
