Hi Im do-what-i-need-to-get-by when it comes to updating my wordpress site with very little time and limited coding knowledge. If just LOST the youtube video I previously had embedded in my page header - I tried to replace it with a different video and it wont work. When i try and replace it with the original one that one now doesnt work either!
The code I had in the GeneratePress Hooks section (id selected "before header content" fromt he dropdown) is/was:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe width="420" height="345"
src="http://youtu.be/8AEH-u24vWg">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Ive tried using embed tag or just [] and neither work in this section and the reason I used your theme was so I could get the same header with a video on every page of the site
Please can someone help me?
Thank you
Julie
You don't need anything but the <iframe> - everything else needs to go.
When watching the YouTube video, you can click on the "Share" option, and "Embed", which will give you the necessary code to place into your website.
Thanks, got it working now
