Did you embed the code? Not sure what you mean by showing up "properly."

Be sure the link to the video is good. Hope you know how to use the HTML editor to do it.

I had problems with something just last week that would not load.

Need to use the embed code or iframe code from youtube and paste it into the blog while in code mode. Look for the "<>" button for that.

If you are properly embedding the code and you just get a white box, go ahead and save and publish. It WILL probably show up properly when published.

I tried embedding the code. That did not save or work at all. I had to put it in the source url but that is only making a blank box pop up once it’s posted.

Embed it, save the post then preview. It should be okay then you can close that and tidy up any loose ends in the post. Always save before hitting that publish button.

The only way I know to do it and make it work is to do as many others have stated. Use the embed code - make sure you are in the html editor when you add it.

Hi Virginia,

It all depends on where are you posting. Sometimes you just have to copy the youtube link and it's fine. On other websites you have to embed the video. Instead of copying the link, copy the embed code. That should solve your problem.

best,

Steve

Use the embed code and when you look at it in editor, it won't show up. Once you preview it, the video should show up.
