Steve Clark asked me how to put Youtube Videos in a post, and since I haven’t done that yet, I made a little research and found out that youtube support in WordPress can be pain in the neck if done incorrectly.
I stumbled upon Shandy King’s Post and learned that the solution was simple: Simply turn off the Visual RichText Editor when posting a video, and that will do the trick.
- Go to Your Admin Panel
- Click on Users and find your profile
- Uncheck “Use The Visual Editor When Writing”
- Click on “Update Profile” to save the changes
That’s it! If you’re still having trouble, watch this embedded youtube video and learn how it is done:
Good luck!!
