How to Include a Video in Wordpress
In my last post, I included a YouTube video. You do this by copying the embed video code from the main page at YouTube for the video that you are interested in. Then paste this into a Wordpress Post.
When I viewed the page, all seemed fine apart from some small typos, so I went back and fixed them, but I made the mistake of using “Save and Continue Editing”. This brought up the Visual editor which messes up the code if you embed a video. Refreshing the page of the post, it looked fine so I clicked on “Save” in the editor and I was done.
Then I checked my site today and found it all messed up.
It’s because I saved the Post from the Visual editor.
To avoid this problem, click on the “Code” tab when you go to write a post. And then “Publish”. If you then want to make changes, use the “Code” tab and click save to avoid the Visual editor messing up the embedded video code.
Alternatively, you can disable the visual editor by checking a box in your user profile.
Since using video will be an important part of our business building strategy, this should be helpful to you I hope.
