Problem with Youtube Links

[Rob222]

I have a couple of Youtube Links within my article but when clicked upon, I don’t get taken directly to Youtube, Instead I get this pop up thing which shows that something is trying to load but doesn’t. I honestly don’t understand why my Youtube links aren’t working. I should be directed to youtube with no hassles.

Can you fix this for me please?

Hi,

It seems any plugin issue. Please deactivate all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

Thanks 🙂
With Best Regards
Mohammad

I’m getting the same problem. ‘An error occurred. Please try again later.’

I tried deactivating all the plug-ins, but then everything is switched off, including the video player. The only other way is to switch them off one-by-one to see if that resolves the problem, but that seems very laborious. I’ve also followed the help on the ‘error’ link and tried it on different browsers, including emptying cache, restarting etc.

Just to confirm – I’m using the Video Player in Elements on the Swift Page Builder, and the YouTube link https://youtu.be/aIOoDR2IQ3A,
which works fine on another platform (Weebly).

It worked the other day on another test video, but then suddenly seemed to stop.

Hi,

You should use this link format instead youtu.be

Great, thanks once again, Rui.

I got the link from YouTube.

I couldn’t see that format anywhere, unless I missed it?

You should grab the link that is playing but only with the watch parameter and the id.
Glad it’s sorted.
