 * Hello,
 * Before the plugin updated today, the Embed Code was displaying under the share
   icon (top right corner). I noticed after the update, the Embed Code is missing.
   I only see Facebook and twitter icons.

 * Can you post a link to a page on your site demonstrating the problem so I can
   troubleshoot it? Also, please verify that the embed code setting is still turned
   on in the plugin settings page.

 * It looks a lot like the embed code option is turned off. If the checkbox is on
   in the plugin settings page, try turning it off then on again.

 * I turned it off and on but the results is the same.
    Maybe having visuals of 
   my settings can help you troubleshoot better: [https://www.dru.com/hair-surgery/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-1a.png](https://www.dru.com/hair-surgery/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-1a.png)

 * It’s strange that the embed code shows up in the sample video on the settings
   page but not the video at [https://www.dru.com/hair-surgery/african-american-fue-hair-transplant-using-ugraft/](https://www.dru.com/hair-surgery/african-american-fue-hair-transplant-using-ugraft/)
 * What is the full text of the `[KGVID]` shortcode you’re using to embed that video?

 * Is this video not in the WordPress database? The plugin seems to think it isn’t.
   That would explain why you can’t embed it. Because of the way the embedding system
   works, only videos that are in the database can be embedded. You can use the 
   [Add From Server](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/) plugin to add
   it to the database.

 * Yes that explains it! The video was not in the WordPress database. Thank you 
   for your help!

 * Great! Glad I could help. Sorry I didn’t think of that right away. I was looking
   for things I had changed since the last update.
