Hey could you tell me what's wrong here. I can see the youtube video fine from a PC, but it doesn't show up on my mobile devices?

I have the latest Wordpress and wpforo installed.  https://www.smokedhaze.com/fogofwar/community/rotk-games/youtube-videos/#post-2

We found some extra wrapper around youtube <iframe> . It's <a> tag added my some other plugin or function. You should find what adds this. This <a> wrapper makes youtube videos invisible. Please make sure the " Enable WordPress Shortcodes in Post Content" option is disabled in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features Tab. Try to disable other youtube plugins. Then delete wpForo cache in Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page.

Also please explain step by step how you embed these videos?

Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested and it made no difference. The only plugin I can think of that might be causing that could be Cloudflare?

I'm just copying the youtube url and putting it in the post. I did try adding the url into the shortcode box and it appears to work. That just isn't very user friendly however.

We just tested. As far as i see, the issue is fixed. you have removed the wrapper <a> tag.

I see that. Very strange, I didn't change or remove any plugins. All I did was, as you suggested above, delete the wpForo cache. Thank you.
