  Hi all,

  Today I tried to uplaod a youtube video on my blog and it seems error showing up.

  I had no problem in the past but today, tried different types of solutions but it aint getting straight up. Any tips would be appreciated to curb my problem.
  Iam using a MAC. Tried it in Safari, Max n Chrome. 

  This is the error iam getting after uploading on my blog. I had seen this problem before in the forums n solutions were made, but having said that, it didn't help either.

  Hi Carl,

  The reason your video won't post is because of a flaw in WGT's video embedding code. If the video's ID...

  ...begins with any of the following characters, w,a,t,c,h,v (upper or lowercase), then it will throw up an error when posted. Posting a link to the video is one way around this or, as the video is your own, you could try uploading it to YouTube again to get a different video ID, and hope that it doesn't begin with one of the aforementioned characters.

  ⇩ EDIT : Thank you Carl.  ; ) ⇩

  @ScottHope
  
  Thanks for posting that information. I had run into that error a few times and had given up trying to embed YouTube videos. I was absolutely mystified as to why they wouldn't display properly. At least, now I know. :-)

  Cheers Robert. There's a link on my profile to my original post about this, so if you or anyone else need to refer to it again, that's the place to start.

  Scott, 
  
  You are one of the best people on here. WGT is better because of people like you.
