Marvinpelt,

My english is not the best but I will try to explain. First, you have to catch the video URL. As an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boanuwUMNNQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The shortened URL is this: http://youtu.be/boanuwUMNNQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Using the shortened URL will not work. See below:

[youtube]http://youtu.be/boanuwUMNNQ[/youtube]

Using the URL with the prefix HTTPS does not work. See below:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boanuwUMNNQ[/youtube]

What you have to do is remove the letter "S" prefix thus leaving:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boanuwUMNNQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Then you can add the tags and the youtube video will appear in the post.



If you need to see how I left, click on the button "citar" and you'll see the code that was.
