    I have found a video on youtube that I would like to include in my blog post. I have tried copying the embed code from the video on the youtube site but when I publish the post there is no video to be seen.

    Any ideas?

    Are there some settings I should be changing?

    Hi

    Try just putting it inside <code> tags - like this post on my blog:

    i suggest that you use plugin for wordpress.
    try google it for embedded video plugin.

    Easy to use and it will fit the theme nicely

    Is there anyway around this without the use of a plugin/widget as I don't have access to the server to upload new themes/widgets?
