I have a YouTube video embedded in my wordpress blog. How do I disable the title and also perhaps the YouTube button.

Essentially I want to prevent the user for clicking through to YouTube from my blog.

This is the code. I have tried adding variables but when I save it just deletes the extra variables:

  1. Using the Youtube embed options, you can easily hide the title bar and change some other things too.

    Or just add &showinfo=0 to the end of your video url.

    To access your video’s embed options, go the the video page on Youtube, select the share button > select the Embed tab > select the Show More button. You should then see all options.

    An example with your video that you can paste in to WordPress:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MzLxLKLErCM?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    However, WordPress now has a built in facility to turn any Youtube URL in to an [embed]. The advantage of WordPress’ function is that the video will be scaled to fit your page provided that the theme has $content_width set.

    Unfortunately I have not yet found a way to remove the title bar when using WordPress’ built in function, so might be better to go with Youtube’s emded code.

  2. Just adding &showinfo=0 within the quotations doesn’t work, neither dies ?showinfo=0

    CSS also doesn’t seem to be able to touch it.

    What I found out is that the issue is with YouTube, not with WordPress.

    Currently, as of 2021, there is no solution for removing just the title from embedded YouTube video.
