Best bug fix for Youtube player incompatibility with Blog
In the latest version of WordPress, and, I suspect, other blog platforms, there is an incompatibility between the Youtube embed code and the visual editor.
To work around this bug, here is how to embed video into your blog posts and pages:
I had to fix the videos in code view, here are instructions for now, to work around the incompatibility of the Youtube player with the visual editor:
1. Build the rest of the page forst
2. In the editor, click HTML tab, now you are looking at code, but the text is still text so you can see where you are
3. Insert the embed code from Youtube: example:
<object width=”640″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></object><br />
4. Remove everything but this:
<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed>
5. Surround the embed code like this with
<div><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></div>
6. Save without going back to visual editor.
