Wordpress stripping youtube embed tags in post

I am trying to insert this video into my Wordpress post:

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5CvLs2KCAEc" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I know Wordpress does not allow embedding of videos for security reasons, so you use the short code: [embed width="123" height="456"]...[/embed] (replacing the periods with the url) But for some reason this also is not working..

I am using the Reventon theme if that helps at all..

Solution

  • WordPress supports automatic embedding from certain sites, including YouTube. Simply add the YouTube video's URL to your post content, and WordPress will automatically create the embed for you.
