New Youtube Adsense Video Units Not Working Wordpress

“Help! You Tube Adsense Video Units don’t work in Wordpress!”

The new Youtube Adsense Video Unit will not automatically load in Wordpress posts without a plugin. This is because Wordpress doesn’t really like javascript. These new Adsense Video Units use javascript, and not the usual embed tag that everyone is already familiar with when embedding code.

If all you are seeing in your Wordpress post after you generate the code and copy it into your Wordpress post is:

Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com

Then you need to download and install this Wordpress plugin to allow javascript in your post. (I would advise using these “script enabler”-type plugins with caution).

    I want my videos on a Wordpress Page … not in a post. However, I have the same problem as noted here so I installed the script and activated it. I still get the exact same result.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m having the same problem as Tim and can’t seem to find any solutions. Have you found out anything new about this since May?
