Steempress Bug: Youtube Videos Are Not Displayed In Steem Posts From Wordpress Video Themes
Expected behavior
Any post that Steempress mirrors from Wordpress to Steemit should retain links such as youtube videos / embeds, so that the videos are visible in the resulting Steem post - including from Wordpress sites that use popular video oriented themes such as Truemag.
Actual behavior
The Youtube video that was embedded in the post in Wordpress was missing from the resulting Steem post.
How to reproduce
Set up Steempress in an up to date version of Wordpress with the correct login credentials for Steemit. Install Truemag for Wordpress.
Create a post in Wordpress post that uses the Truemag video format for posts that includes a Youtube video.
Examine the resulting Steem post.

Hi @ura-soul! Please add a video or gif demonstrating the bug.
there is nothing to see visually, i can't really record the absence of a video.
You most certainly can record the absence of a video in a post, and ideally the process of initiating the port and the result. In the very least some images would have been helpful. Just a note for the future.
Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not follow the Utopian Rules.
This is important be because otherwise no issue on GitHub will be filed.
I tried to reproduce the bug and the default wordpress video embed works just fine. The version of the Truemag theme you are using would be interesting and maybe a brief description about how it embeds videos differently from the default, if you know any details.
Most important though, technically speaking this can't be considered as a bug as the software works as intended. Support for specific third party plugins/themes would be a dedicated new feature, that could be enriched over time.
I understand that from a user perspective this looks like a bug I'm pretty sure for the developers this is more a suggestion/feature request. So feel free to contribute in the Suggestion category.

Hi,
I did previously connect my utopian account to github and have logged many issues with it connected - I do not recall disconnecting it, so it looks like that is a bug in utopian. I have reconnected it now.
Truemag is classed as the most popular theme for wordpress for videos and magazines, so support for it should be a high priority - https://themeforest.net/item/true-mag-wordpress-theme-for-video-and-magazine/reviews/6755267
Whether or not this is a bug or a feature request comes down to the design scope and thoughts in the minds of the designers of the project, I have not seen any message from the coders that specifically states this issue would not be classed as a bug. Personally, if this were my project I would class this as a bug, but I understand why you are saying what you have said.
ah, I can see from the email sent by github that when i reauthorised utopian in github, it recognised that I had previously authorised utopian and notified me that the change was in fact to only add one additional authorisation scope 'read:org' - so it seems either github or utopian has changed it's use of permissions since I originally connected the two services.
