 * Hello,
    I recently updated to PHP 7.0 following which the embed videos/posts 
   stopped working. It happens only for desktop version, the mobile AMP theme works
   fine. In any post, some embeds work and other don’t. For instance, in this post,
 * [https://rajksite.com/roma-a-cinematic-marvel-by-alfonso-cuaron/](https://rajksite.com/roma-a-cinematic-marvel-by-alfonso-cuaron/)
 * the first Youtube video and a Twitter embed works fine but for the last Youtube
   video, I just see the URL, no embed. I first thought it was a theme problem but
   it is happening for all themes, including Twenty Ninenteen.
 * Thanks
    Rajendra

 * I see the url in your page as:
    `https://youtu.be/6BS27ngZtxg`
 * …which is Google’s way of doing a URL shortener (which is crazy). Problem is,
   it redirects to a different url, so this might be the issue (buggy). I’ve seen
   this not work 100% in WordPress.
 * But try this one instead:

 * Thanks Andre.
 * I tried the proper URL and that also does not seem to work. However, if I put
   the iframe code for the video, it works fine. Is there any way I can replace 
   all Youtube URLs with iframe codes in one go?

 * Hi Rajendra,
 * Sorry for the late response, as I am just starting my day here.
 * Replacing all youtube URLs with the iframe code, I’m not quite sure unless there
   is a plugin for that. I know there are a lot of plugins for youtube and other
   video services, so there might be one, or one to start using for new videos you
   add.
 * Best Regards,
    Andre

 * Hi Andre,
 * No problem. I will look for a suitable plugin to embed iframes.
    Thank you very
   much for your help. Best Regards, Rajendra
