Hello,
I can’t embed any YouTube videos to my site. When I copy and paste the URL into a YouTube Block it says to try again or it simply shows the URL of the YouTube video when previewing it instead of the video.
How can I fix this?
Thank you,
Leo

Hi there,
Any chance you can link us to the site in question?
You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field.
Let me know 🙂
Dear Leo,
Thank you for your time.
I haven’t hired a Web Hosting service, the website isn’t public yet.
I log in to my site on WordPress.org using Bitnami and edit it from there. How can I have you take a look at the issue?
I’m not sure if that’s possible unfortunately.
Do you get the same issue with a twenty series WP theme?
The YouTube block is from WordPress core.
The videos also show up as URLs when I preview the site with the twenty twenty theme.
No actual video are showing yet.
I don’t understand why this is happening since I was able to embed videos when I downloaded GeneratePress on June 1st.
Videos not embedding yet. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Hi there,
Any chance you share/take a screenshot of the exact error you’re facing?
Hi Tom,
Let me show you with the screenshots.
This is what it looks like when I embed the videos on the edit page:
Sometimes these same videos look like this:
BUT, This is what it looks like when published or previewed:

Hi there,
it looks like your local server is having difficulty reaching the video server.
Right Click > Inspect the page and see if there are any red errors in the console.Dear David,
After inspecting the page, the YouTube Home Page shows 3 red signs and 1 yellow sign:
When opening the video I am trying to embed, 6 red signs show up, sometimes 3 additional yellow signs:
How do I fix these errors so I can embed the videos into my GeneratePress Site?
Thank you for taking the time to help me
Hi there,
Those errors are specific to YouTube – their developers will need to fix those. However, they shouldn’t be the cause of the issue you’re facing.
Without seeing the site, it’s hard to debug. Do you have a live server you can test on? It could be a limitation of your local server preventing it from happening.
If you have a live test sever and can get it to happen, it would help us figure out what’s going on, as we could dig into the code a bit.
Tom,
I am using Bitnami to edit my WordPress site
I put the website URL on the first edit of this forum post so you can take a look at the code!
Let me know if you can access it, otherwise, where do I get a live test server? Is Bitnami not one?
I’m not able to access that link, as it looks like it’s local to your computer. Is there a way to take it live? (I’m not familiar with Bitnami).
How do I get it live? I am new to the tech world so any tips would be appreciated.
I would recommend checking with Bitnami’s support to see if there is way to generate a live link.
