I have also read the instructions on the youtube plugin (provided above) but I do not know how to use it after I installed it.

So I surfed around to hunt for some other ways people do it and I got this.

Refer to: Cannot display youtube video in wordpress 2 « WordPress Support

The code is:


< embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PspAeMdnQ-g" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350">


where PspAeMdnQ-g is the specific youtube video you want.

Delete the " " single space after the "<" and before the "embed"


Note: The WYSIWYG text editor needs to be off.
To do this, go to Options / Writing and uncheck these 2 boxes:
- Users should use the visual rich editor by default and
- WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically.

Problem is that when you switch on the WYSIWYG editor even after you published your post, you lose the embedded video feature - i.e. when a reader goes to your blog and click on the snapshot of the video, the reader will be directed to the youtube site rather than play the video in your blog.

I have not yet figured out how to overcome this. If anyone knows, please share.

So far I have left the WYSIWYG editor in the off mode, and the embeded video looks good.

Now we all should know how to peel a potato, I mean, insert a youtube video.
