    This JS file you have is overriding the YouTube IFrame API functions:

    http://saleswonder.biz/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/shortcodes.js?ver=3

    Specifically, this part of that file is basically taking over the YouTube Iframe API functions:

    window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = function(){ $('body').trigger('av-youtube-iframe-api-loaded'); };
    Code (JavaScript):
    Not sure why it's doing that... you would want to talk to the developer to ask them why they are taking over the YouTube API there (maybe they are doing their own stuff with YouTube events).

    You just use the normal embed code from YouTube. The HTML isn't the issue. The issue is that script is taking over control of YouTube API for some reason.

    That site has the exact same issue. It has a shortcodes.js file that is taking over the YouTube API.
