WordPress 3 Tutorial Part 5: Embedding YouTube Video into Blog Posts

[deltinahay]

@dmana3172 Sometimes you need to look in preview to see the video. Another issue may be that you need to use the old embed code.

I tried and it doesn't work. I have wordpress 3.0 and I'm using hostgator. I'm at the wordpress theme. I copy the embedded video from Youtube and posted it in the html code of the wordpress, but when I clicked on the Visual, no video there. :-(

@AVixensGuide the Embed button is under the video on YouTube, not in WordPress. If you look under this video, for instance, you will see it next to the "share" button. Also, a video must be public to have an embed button

I keep scrolling down but don't see a button that says "embed". Can you help? Where is this "embed" button?

Glad this has been helpful to y'all!

Thanks Deltina, good info and helped me figure out how to get the video embedded into my blog. I'll be back.

Thanks Deltina, this has been a valuable video to provide instructions that I haven't found in the Wordpress book I purchased and also haven't found on the official wordpress site! I'll check your videos first next time around !!
