I need to embed a video from this website in a post http://www.logotv.com/shows/cocktails-classics/video-guide. I tried using the embedding code that the video offers. but it doestn’t show in the post, just a black square.
code
<div style=”width: 520px; background-color: #000;”><div style=”padding: 4px;”><iframe src=”http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:arc:video:logotv.com:a6871c99-8f21-4101-8be4-4d70414f18fb” width=”512″ height=”288″ style=”border: 0;” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Here is my website
Couple things
WordPress only “auto embeds” OEMBED capable video.
Second, generally you can’t embed content from other sites without permission. In fact, they may preclude loading on other sites than their own and hence it won’t work.
If you have permission, reaching out to them for info likely best option as what you’re attempting is not related to theme in any way, but basic HTML. Some may block loading from iFrame.
Also, make sure you are putting your HTML in your post/page in the text editor mode, NOT the code editor mode as this will break your HTML.
In your example above you have no closing divs which I’m assuming is just for the example?
Check F12/console view in your browser for errors that might be causing issues.
If you “view source” for the example URL you’re trying to embed you will see it’s not actually a video file, but a script page loading separate player element via javascript. Some of that might not be allowable under an iframe in browser and so gets blocked.
Just food for thought.
Thank you.
