  Tim,
  
  Thanks for the editor link, but you what...I wouldn't know what to do with it. I looked at the screenshots and read about it, its just too much for to setup. Even if there was some already basic setup, I still wouldn't know how i am suppose to make my post with the video on the homepage.
  
  Here is site, so you or anyone else who may be able to help can see what I mean.

  Scroll down to see post, video does not appear but click on the post and the video is there, this may be something stupid on my part. Someone on the authors help thread did figure it out, so it can be done. Author has still not replied to me on this matter.
  
  Thanks

  Hi, there are a lot of different options, the install is just one click and it is drag and drop for the rest of the options.
  
  But it sounds like you need to modify your theme code.
  
  Are you trying to show a video on your home page, or as a comment on a post?
  
  Thanks

  You have put the video on another post (not the homepage) that why its only showing when you click the link to the other post as its a different URL.video test 2 in post &lsaquo; Palm Beach County Painting

  This is your homepage
  
  Just paste the code below the existing content on the post/page that your using for your homepage.
  
  Paste the code into the html and save it ion the html before switching to visual editor.
  
  Another important issue. Your permalink structure is no good for Search engine optimisation. You are using the default permalink
  
  I suggest you change it to /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postaname%/
  
  Warning! install a redirection plugin and/or deans permalink plugin before you change the permalink structure or a redirection plugin as your links will change.
  
  Your site looks good there's just a lot of little things can make it a whole lot better
  
  Thanks

You can also deactivate the Visual view or use the Raw-HTML plugin, which will get you around the WordPress HTML filters (and that will help in any other situations you need to use HTML). I reviewed Raw-HTML here:

Thanks for the post, but I did downlaod the plug in , activated it included the video code in between <!–start_raw–> <!–end_raw–> tags, but I still get the same thing.

Again, video does show on actual page, but not homepage.

Thanks

Frankly i would have a look for a better theme and more importantly, the best wordpress framework

I have many videos in my blog posts and an entire library of wordpress video tutorials on my site.

Not sure your theme and framework are up to scratch

I only use the best wordpress framework which is regarded as ultra premium and highly flexible.

Thanks

This is a well known bug and or issue with the editor, likely it has nothing to do with your theme, Visual editor is stripping out html line break and paragraph tags « WordPress.com Forums

There are a couple of good alternatives, meaning you should get a new editor, if your interested pm me and I will give you a link to pick up a good editor, (free)

I received the following response from the author of the theme

"..Basically the blog page strips out all HTML to prevent unclosed HTML tags that why your video won't show up..."

What suggestions can you warriors give me?

Thank you for your time.

Yes that is a problem with Wordpress. Here are 2 tips that may work out for you:-

Try out both iFrame code of a Youtube video and the older version code. See if any of them works
Leave the video to add it in the last. When you're done writing the content. Switch to HTML mode and paste the code. DO NOT Switch back to Visual again as it will strip out the code again.

Do tell me if any of it works?

Thanks

I want to make video posts that show on the homepage, they will testimonials and videos of completed jobs, etc.

Author just replied to me that I need to find someone to modify my blog.php code

This is your homepage

Your site looks good there's just a lot of little things can make it a whole lot better

There is not really your typical homepage, the theme has a custom menu where you drag the pages you want together and it populates a homepage from your selections. I want to use the homepage as your typical website but with an incorporated video blog all on the same homepage. I believe what your suggesting is just add to the bottom of lets say the columns page with the all the paint roller icons? Not sure if that would display either, but would like better as individual posts as that would create a bigger site with more seo optimized pages/posts. If I add it to the exsisting page that is displaying the current content, all I am doing is continuously changing one page. Forgive me if I didn't understand what you meant.

As for any on page SEO, I haven't started anything on that yet, just trying to get the structure of the site put together, not letting robots even enter yet.
