Issue embedding Youtube videos in posts

Hi

When I try embedding Youtube videos into my posts, I am having some major issues. When I use the youtu.be type links into the post, they don’t show up. When I use the iframe embed code, the video shows up but then there’s a huge gap between the video and the text that is supposed to show up right beneath it. Instead, you have to scroll far down the page to see the text.

An example: http://thecatchandshoot.com/mvc-fight-song-rankings/

Hello,

Wordpress embeds any link into the post without the theme interference. When checking your site, I cannot see any gap between videos: http://screencast.com/t/5Lol5UrUZ
Please provide an example page where I can see the gap as the page you posted does not show any gap you describe.

Thank you!

Hello,

I think some youtube.be type of videos are blocked for embeds. Try a different video. The embed is the same for all videos. If one video works and the other does not, then there is something on the video preventing embeds. The embed is part of wordpress and if a video cannot be embedded, it means the video author did not want the video to be embedded.

Thank you!

HI @PacificTrek,

Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme please deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.

Thank you!

Hi,

Please try this custom css ->
.wp-block-embed{
height: -webkit-fill-available;
}

Thank you!
