You could also use the Ultimate Tinymce plugin.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/

You can enable the text editor on your excerpts and it will give you unlimited possibilities. Simply use the excerpt section for your content.

Under WP settings go to Ultimate Tinymce. scroll down to the admin settings and check off "Enable Ultimate Tinymce in the excerpt area of Posts."

If you havent' used it before you should watch the video on it. It's got a lot of great features you'll surely love.

for this you should put your youtube video link in first 400 characters (you can choose any number in place of 400 ) . And then display that characters into category.php instead of excerpt . to use this replace these line in category.php

get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

with

$string2 = $post->post_content;
$newString2 = substr($string2, 0, 400);

echo $newString2;

Replace 400 with the number of character you want to display .

tell me if you face any difficulties

Monit Jadhav answers:

You need to locate the category.php file that is your categories template.

There are two possibilities in it either loop would be right in the categories template or its code content would be coming from some other file.

if you happen to see the code liks

get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

you will have to edit content.php

or

get_template_part( 'content', "category" );

you will have to edit content-category.php

in that find and replace <strong>the_excerpt()</strong> with <strong>the_content()</strong>.

thats it

It should resolve it.

try to use this in your functions.php

remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt' );
