Whole of my blog’s template broke when i tried to insert a you tube video.
Do we need any additional plugin?

Well my template broke as well with the new editor, but after I switched to the old WordPress editor as described above it worked OK, no specific plug-ins required. It also won’t work with other editors like Flog.

[…] Thanks to Matthias for his post helping me get the video to embed Tags:No Tags   « IBM Open Source Strategy is “Beyond Linux” |   […]

good site!

[…] As of late I’ve been somewhat frustrated with the lack of Youtube support with WordPress. There didnt seem to be an easy way to do it. People were creating complicated plugins and other work arounds. However I found this simple solution which I recommend. […]

I’ve been using YouTube on all my WP versions .. with the 2+ versions, the first thing I always do is go to the Users/Your Profile and turn off that visual Rich editor option. Maybe that’s why it’s been worry free for me. As long as my template is 450px wide that is .. otherwise the template pushes the entry below the sidebar

I have been having problems trying to get a Youtube video to be blogged by email. The codex claims that blogging by email will strip the HTML code, but if you email H2, H3, FONT etc type of html codes – they show up in the blog. The OBJECT and PARAM of the YouTube code just shows up as empty space. If you tumble on a solution .. please pass it on!

It worked perfect. Thanks fo rthe help. I even kept my template formatting.

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been searching for the answer for over an hour, and installing a plugin seemed a little daunting since I’m very new to WordPress.

[…] I was searching online for an answer of how to embed a YouTube video in WordPress, because my previous post would just show up with a red X where the video would have been. Plugins are still over my head and I had better things to do than figure it out today. Upon browing, I came upon the answer, and found myself staring at Steve Wozniak’s (co-founder of Apple) business card. […]

Thanks for that, helped a lot.

thanks….hours of frustration solved.

Can’t thank you enough! Your suggestion worked. Wasted more than an hour or so trying to figure out what to do. So thanks again!

I have been having problems with Youtube , but thanks to this post all is fixed

[…] Klein probleempje met mijn vorig post om de Youtube video ook zichtbaar te krijgen in Internet Explorer. Alle andere browsers (Opera, Firefox, Konqueror…) werkten prima maar IE niet. Oplossing was een wijziging in de instellingen van WordPress die blijkbaar de code net voldoende om zeep hielp om IE te foppen. Met dank aan voor de oplossing. AL heb ik nu mopeite om mijn post op te maken want de editor is niet meer wysiwyg…. Argh… Trackback · […]

[…] Coming to Number 1… Recently Shel Israel gave a number of tips on how to improve Blogs to make them more interesting. He states “It is better to be useful then boring”. While it seems obvious, it is easier said then done. My post on “How to embed YouTube videos into a WordPress blog” clearly hit a nerve with many people out there and based on the comments proved to be very useful. So maybe it is not a surprise after all that it received the most visits in 2006. […]

Well its been quite easy for me coz there have always been the plugins and rich editors.

[…] Today Charlie Beckett was asking how to do this for his POLIS blog so I’ve been looking into it. If you look at my earlier post you’ll see that it is now working but it’s a bit fiddly. I followed instructions posted by Matthias Zeller Memento which involves turning off the visual rich editor while you make the post that includes an embedded YouTube video. I’ve found you only need to worry about your personal settings so a revision of the instructions would be: […]

[…] (Sorry for the 8 million edits to this page. Took a while to figure out how to get WordPress to play nicely with YouTube. Finally found the steps here: Challenges with Embedding YouTube video into WordPress blog.) […]

Thanks a lot for those tips! Really helped me out a lot! Was getting frustrated seeing others being able to do it and me not even getting the hang of it! Thanks again!

[…] UPDATE: Found useful tips here and hence the video is up! […]

this really helped a lot – simple and easy to follow. thanks!

THANK YOU, thank you for posting this, and thank you for having it come up in a google search… it was driving me crazy that it wasn’t working, but with your instructions, my youtube video was up and running in no time.

if you put a tag before the video and at the end it may help. This is what worked for me.

THANKYOU. I totally owe you a beer
