What specific way are you doing this? Are you using the shortcode? Are you checking to see that the link isn't active when you put it in?

It doesn't work anywhere but Twitter, I've no idea why they introduced it.

Look at the URL bar in the browser when you're on the video's page on YouTube. It'll be something like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMsKHKqUydM&feature=related

What you use is all the URL up to but NOT including the &. Drop it and everything after it, and use that code, the

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMsKHKqUydM

in the standard shortcode format of [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMsKHKqUydM] and make sure the link isn't "live" ie underlined and active. Use the Link Breaker icon to make sure it's not active.

I just got it to work by using the embed code that youtube gives. When you paste the code into the post and publish wordpress reorganized it. It removes the = that was in previous instructions. I then deleted the dimensions or you can change the dimensions for the width of your blog.

Youtube gave me this:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vVFasyCvEOg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

when you publish wordpress reorganizes to this:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVFasyCvEOg&w=640&h=390%5D

change the height / width to fit your blog or delete

See here:

I have entered the quick embed code as you stated in your documentation, yet it fails to transition it to a youtube embed. Is this because I am using the free downloadable installed version of WordPress?

Do not use the embed code provided by YouTube.

1: embed code =

2: shortlink option =

only a link to view on youtube, not in my wordpress site.

The only option working for me now is to use the youtube link which directs my traffic to youtube. That's cool and all but defeats the purpose of having a wordpress blog. If i wanted to my traffic at youtube i woould just use my youtube acct only. I tried the support examples but keep coming up with the same result. I am sure this is user error. Someone please help.
