YouTube Embedding
10 replies · Started by Stephen Moon on January 13, 2020
I’ve tried embedding a YouTube video for the first time. First WP block for the title. Insert second block directly below and put in the video url.
When published, there’s a huge gap between the title and the video, doesn’t work at all.
Any ideas? I’m assuming it’s something with the theme. I’m using the latest premium version of GeneratePress and Wordpress is up to date as well. See here for the problem - https://stephenmoon.com/vlog-introduction-to-2020/
Thank you!
Hi there,
That's weird. I just tested here and it worked without any issues:

Can you make sure you've added the direct URL like this and not the <iframe> link?

I’ve looked at it on four devices and I get this large gap between the text and video, can’t attach the photo here, but they are all the same regardless of device.
Here’s the url I pasted into the Wordpress block - https://youtu.be/715W0UI58ns
Hi there,
can you clear and disable your cache plugin so i can take a look at whats causing the issue.
OK, I have deactivated that. Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you have any YouTube related plugins installed ? If so can you try disabling that.
Yes, I have something called EmbedPlus and I have disabled it. Thinking about it, I may not even need a plugin?
Oh yes, and that's fixed the problem I believe!
Looks good to me - one less plugin required.
Thanks guys, very quick and effective support.
Glad we could be of help
