 * How can such a simple plug-in screw up what it’s supposed to do:
 * I installed the plugin and added the short code:
 * [youtube_sc url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gca-bD4gOec]
 * and what I see is You Tube explaining how to run their browser window.
 * What a joke…………..

 * Mmmm…I hardly doubt that is the plugin’s fault. Hundreds of websites are using
   it flawlessly.
 * I’ve pasted the shortcode you complain about in a post of the plugin’s documentation
   website and everything works as expected, take a look:
 * [http://www.margenn.com/tubal/youtube_shortcode/261/perrymyk-test/](http://www.margenn.com/tubal/youtube_shortcode/261/perrymyk-test/)
 * If you cannot see your video in that website properly, I’m sure you have a big
   issue caused by your browser or a browser plugin or another application in your
   system.
 * You should also disable any other wordpress plugins you may have installed to
   test if one of those is causing your issue.
 * What I can guarantee you is the plugin works as expected and it’s not a joke.
 * Think before you rate a plugin with one star.
