Video Won't Show On Wordpress Homepage

by Tim Fuhrman

Can anyone help with this problem? I cannot get the videos to show up when they are just on the root home page of my blog. If you click on the specific article link then everything shows up and works fine. I've been looking around and can't seem to find a simple solution to this problem. I've tried several WP themes and they all have the same problem so I don't think its theme related.

    You should upload your videos to youtube, you can make them private or public!

    Then add them to your wordpress using the embed code:
    example:
    Code:
    <iframe width="325" height="249" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-ZBc0hkliVw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Another way is to use a video plugin that will allow you to add the video to widgets and pages!

    This may seem obvious, but do you have your home page set to show the full post or just the excerpt?

    Oh, I see now. It seems for whatever reason the plugin you are using is not picking up the shortcode on the home page. Dunno...
