How To Insert Videos With One URL In WordPress 2.9

07.01.10 by Jerome in Tutorials

In WordPress 2.9 there is no more need to embed the full source code of your videos into your post thanks to the support of oEmbed. Now you just simply need to drop the video URL in your WordPress blog post.  It’s that simple!

As an example we are going to show you how to embed a YouTube video. The same rule can be applied for any other supported oEmbed providers ( Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Revision3, Google Video and DailyMotion).

Step 1

Go to YouTube, pick a video and copy the URL of the video you want to include in your post.

Step 2

Paste the URL of the video directly into your text editor. Save it.

Step 3

Preview it and voila!

Thanks to the WordPress Dev Team for this big improvement.
