How To Post Videos To WordPress 2.5
For those of you who can’t get those darn YouTube or Viddler videos to show up in your blog, here’s how you do it:
NOTE: I have changed the < > brackets to [ ] brackets so they will show up. When you go to use this code, change them back to < > brackets.
1. You have to preface the YouTube embed link with this code:
[strong]Title of The Video[/strong]
[table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="425"]
[tr]
[td]
[object height="355" width="425">
2. And you have put this code at the END of the embed link:
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
3. As for the video embed link itself, you have to change the code from what YouTube gives you.
For example, this is the embed link of a video as copied and pasted from YouTube:
[object width="425" height="344"][param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQuODiMlUsc&hl=en&fs=1"][/param][param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"][/param]
[tr]
[td]
[object height="370" width="437"]
Otherwise, everything stays the same as I outlined for YouTube videos.
And that’s it!
Here’s what a YouTube video will look like in your blog post:

Here’s what a Viddler video will look like in your blog:

I find it easiest to copy the block of code I’ve given you above and paste it into Notepad or TextEdit while I’m writing my blog post. Then I can double-check back and forth easily to make sure I’ve got everything correct.
Hope that helps you out and saves you a wee bit of time!
