# WordPress Video Plugin Not Working

 * I have the [WordPress Video plugin](http://www.daburna.de/dokuwiki/doku.php/instruction)
   installed on my site, and it’s still activated, but it’s no longer working. The
   code shows up now in posts, instead of the embedded video.
 * [Here’s an example of one of my posts](http://www.get2theleague.com/money/how-players-with-the-fastest-nfl-combine-40-times-fared-in-the-draft)
   where this is happening. If you scroll all the way down in the post, you’ll see
   the [youtube id] code that you’re supposed to use with this plugin.
 * Any idea how to fix this?

 * That is an unsolved problem. But I do not know why sometimes this failure occurs
   and most times not. Any suggestions?

 * Is this problem still unresolved? I’m having the same issue and it seems more
   or less random. Please help. Thanks!

 * I am very sorry, but there is still no solution. I can not reproduce this failure,
   so I can not find any solution.

 * That’s too bad. The plugin doesn’t seem to be working at all now. Thanks for 
   your work on the plug in. Let me know if you have any troubleshooting tips as
   those would be very appreciated. As you know, embed codes can be a bit tempermental
   so that plug saved me a lot of time before this.

 * Shoot, I was really hoping this was resolved. It happened to me the first time
   I tried to use it, and I have no idea how to fix it…

 * You have to enter the shortcode when you’re on the HTML tab. Have you tried that?
   Apparently if it gets wrapped in a <p> tag it won’t work.

 * I think I figured out the connection. It doesn’t work in Internet Explorer. I
   switched to Firefox and works again. Knock on wood. See if that works for you
   guys.

 * So does it work at everybodys blog with Firefox and without the <p>-Tag?

 * I don’t know if anyone has gotten back to you elsewhere about this, daburna, 
   but I was having the same problem in Chrome. Very frustrating. However, when 
   I went into the html mode of my editor in WP, and deleted the p tags around the[
   site id], it worked like a charm!!! YAY!!!!!
 * So I say .. this is resolved 😉 Woot!!!
