Embedding YouTube video in a Wordpress post or page

To embed a YouTube video on a blog post or page you will need the URL for the video that you want to embed. The process of embedding the video is as simple as pasting the video URL into the HTML of the post or page.

First grab the URL for the video you want to embed from YouTube.



Prepare your post or page for the adding of the video by creating the title and text.



You simply need to copy the URL into the post where you want it to appear. It is important that you copy the URL on the HTML view of the editor. If you paste the URL in the visual view, Wordpress will treat the URL as part of the text content. You can switch to the HTML view by clicking on 'HTML' in the top right of the editor.



When you preview or publish your post or page you should see the video embedded in the content.
