embed new YouTube script for video within an article

Hello,

My websites (e.g., Kalikasan Philippines), is able to embed the older format YouTube videos, e.g.,. within an article)

Last night, I wanted to add a different alternative method to pig raising in the said article, using another YouTube video. To do this, I accessed the html editor in the article admin page, and inserted

Code: Select all

<div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KW8cu7HlqMs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

But, when I save the revised html format, the new video did not show up, although the older videos remain. I checked the article html script again, and the video script (see code above) I added disappeared in the revised article I made.

Am I doing it incorrectly, or am I missing a feature to make this embedding work??

Hi,
it's better for you to use YouTube plugin, than adding manually code.
OSYouTube Embedder plugin - alledia.com - and you will be happy again.

Thanks Oscar,

If possible, I want to avoid adding anymore plugins, especially those not already included in the Gavick template. I had on a number of occasions over the years, where there are really plugins, modules I really like. In number of occasions they have been the backdoor used to hack my sites or vehicles for spams.

Another issue, sometimes when Joomla upgrades and the plugin is not actively supported, there are a number of extensions that were not compatible with Joomla, so I had to settle with older versions. A good case is VirtueMart, it was only recently that a version compatible with Joomla v3.x.

I viewed the link of the extension you provided, the free version has so many things it would not allow unless you try the Professional version. I do not want my articles to be another platform for Google's intrusive ways.

So, if it is possible, all I want to do is embed it manually, as a movie image. Can that be done? Why did it work before? And not now?
