How to Properly Embed Videos and Photos in Posts
To embed videos from YouTube, use the correct iframe code and ensure your platform supports HTML embedding. Preview issues may occur if the platform blocks HTML or if the code is incomplete. Verify that embedding is enabled in your settings and that the code is accurate for successful display.
^ it doesn't show the video.
just put the the exact url you'd type into a browser, ie. the https part without all the iframe and other stuff listed

So i've tried the correct html way including embeding straight from Youtube but when I click "preview post" it doesn't show the pic/video. It just shows the html details.Can someone clarify what i'm doing wrong.
Example:
//www.youtube.com/embed/GMFewiplIbw
Wrong code.
With YouTube you just post the link you copy from the share button.
For pics it needs [img ] ones, without space

No it would be [img ] picture you want [/img ] without the spaces at the end and from sites like tiny pic, Imgur or the direct link, quote me so you can see, I just copy/pasted that.

So basically you just put the link and don't even need any html tags. Interesting.
Thanks everyone for the help 🙂
