youtube url posts wrong youtube

[Rhonda]

Every time I try to post a youtube clip the wrong url pulls up in my post.

Hi Rhonda. Our plugins don’t use YouTube. Did you mean to post this question here?

If yes, please provide additional context (links, annotated screenshots, system information, etc).

Thank you.

The url links are working with standard posts on my website, but not on Event posts. When I click Media and add the url, a different url appears than the one I added. It is only happening on the Events Calendar posts.

Thanks for those screenshots. That is odd.

If you manually enter [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJdzky63BA[/embed] into your post editor, does it work as expected?

I tried it and it displays the Ben Hur trailer, as expected since visiting that link directly goes to that video on YouTube’s website. It did the same in both Events and Posts editors.

If you’re expecting it to go to a different video, it should not because that’s the video ID for the Ben Hur trailer.

Let me know…
