How Do I Add a Self Hosted Video to WordPress?

Adding a self hosted video to WordPress can be a daunting task, but with the right tools it can be a simple process.

There are a few different ways to add a self hosted video to WordPress. The easiest way is to use a plugin like VideoPress.

This plugin allows you to add self hosted videos from a wide range of sources, including YouTube, Vimeo, and even Flickr.

Once you have installed the VideoPress plugin, you will need to add a few settings to your WordPress blog. First, you will need to find the VideoPress plugin settings page.

This can be found by clicking on the “VideoPress” menu item in the WordPress toolbar, and then clicking on the “Settings” link on the left side of the page.

Next, you will need to find the “VideoPress Media Library” page. This page will allow you to add and manage your videos.

On the “VideoPress Media Library” page, you will need to add a new video file. You can either add the file from your computer, or you can add the file from a URL.

After you have added the video file, you will need to add the video to your blog. To do this, you will need to click on the “VideoPress” menu item in the WordPress toolbar, and then click on the “Add Media” button.

Next, you will need to select the video file from the “Add Media” dialog box. After you have selected the video, you will need to click on the “Publish” button.

Finally, you will need to add the video to your blog’s content. To do this, you will need to click on the “Editor” tab, and then click on the “Add Media” button.

After you have added the video to your blog, you will need to add a description and a thumbnail. To do this, you will need to click on the “Editor” tab, and then click on the “Description” button.

Next, you will need to add a thumbnail for the video. To do this, you will need to click on the “Editor” tab, and then click on the “Thumbnail” button.

After you have added the description and thumbnail, you will need to click on the “Publish” button.

Congratulations, you have successfully added a self hosted video to your WordPress blog!.
