Shortcode: youtube not show on page

[Bas-Man]

Hi.

I have just tried to add my first youtube link using the shortcode for youtube. Unfortunately it does not appear to work. I found this reference.

https://rguske.github.io/post/youtube-hugo-shortcode-workaround-when-youtube-wont-work/ and this also https://github.com/eueung/hugo-casper-two/issues/5#

Is the youtube shortcode also broken with this theme?

Hi @Bas-Man The youtube shortcode is a Hugo internal template, not a theme thing, but it works as far as I know. I used it just a few days ago. You might have better luck on the Hugo forums. However, If you can post a link to your repo we can have a look for you.

[Bas-Man]

Ah. In that case I will test using HUGO_ENV set to production. It appears internal templates don't load if it's not built as production. I will test tomorrow morning. Thanks for the quick response. I will let you know the result tomorrow.

FYI: That's not so. The internal templates should load no matter the environment.

[Bas-Man]

Regarding templates: There is some code in this theme to prevent things like google analytics, so I probably overly generalized. My mistake.

I am running the following version: Hugo Static Site Generator v0.73.0/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

I could of course just be making a simple mistake.

I tried your video and it works for me. I published a page on the demo site with another video: https://gohugo-ananke-theme-demo.netlify.app/post/chapter-1/

I have had to use a custom short code. I will keep looking into it for a little while.

[Bas-Man]

I think I have found my issue. Related to privacy settings. I will have to test later today to confirm. I found it after looking at the actual YouTube template code.

[Bas-Man]

Sorry. This was due my over zealous attempt to provide privacy. in the config.toml I had added.

  [privacy]
    [privacy.youtube]
      disable = true

This can be closed.

[budparr]

Glad you figured it out!

I understand this is closed, however, it might happen a lot. I too was "over-zealous" in my privacy settings and had YouTube disabled. It might be of value to put it in the documentation. Thank you, Bas-man.
