Background of the issue:
I am using the Divi Theme for my website and have embedded a YouTube video with specific parameters through the shortcode module. The video displays correctly on the Greek version of the website, but in the English version, all I see is empty space where the video should be.
Symptoms:

Questions:
How can I get the YouTube video to display correctly on the English version of my site?

2. Select "WP Editor" in the language options in the sidebar;
3. Click to edit the translation;
This way, you'll be able to use Divi to create the translations. Please save your translated content before hand, so you don't lose it. You can copy the content from the original and replace the texts. This way, you should have no issue with the video. In case you need, here are more details:
