CUNY Academic Commons

Hi Boone,

I'm trying to embed this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR1wvZmZ864) on this page on the Segal website (http://thesegalcenter.org/event/contemporary-theatre-from-argentina-matias-umpierrez/). When I try YouTube's embed code it gets stripped from the post when I hit publish. I've tried the WordPress shortcode [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR1wvZmZ864] and that hasn't worked either. For the Prelude website, I was able to embed a Scribd viewer using the plugin Jetpack's shortcode feature. After activating Jetpack on the Segal website I went to connect it to my personal WordPress account so that I could use its features and I saw this message:

Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible
Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 500]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: http://jetpack.me/support/

I've attached a screenshot.

Do you have any ideas how I might be able to connect Jetpack? Or, any tips on how to embed YouTube videos on commons sites?

Thanks,
Alex
