I’ve published a post that includes several links to short youtube videos. When I look at the post, sometimes images of the youtube videos are displayed, but sometimes only the URLs appear.

The post is: https://theworldelsewhere.com/2020/04/25/london-thursday-23-april-2020-one-month-after-the-coronavirus-lockdown/

How can I ensure that the images are displayed and not just the URLs?

Thank you!

Oliver

You entered those YouTube links as weblinks `<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNyfjt4dzSI</p>’
You must enter the URL of the desired YouTube video in the YouTube block, https://wordpress.com/support/videos/youtube/

Thank you for your reply.

I think this is how I entered the YouTube links – as weblinks. They worked as images when the post was first published and then later just showed as URLs. Now they’re seen as images again. Although puzzling, but hopefully the post again displays as I had intended.

I’m following up on the Modlook tag but it looks like you’ve got this figured out now. Thanks for your help, as always, staartmees.
