Hi @jennifernewbold
To add a video to a blog post in WordPress, you can use the “Add Media” button in the editor to upload the video to your media library and then insert it into your post. Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Open the post editor and click the “Add Media” button.
2. On the “Add Media” screen, click the “Upload Files” tab and then click the “Select Files” button to select the video file from your computer.
3. Once the video file has been selected, it will be uploaded to your media library. You can edit the title and description of the video if you want and then click the “Insert into post” button to add the video to your post.
4. The video will be added to your post as an embedded video player. You can resize the video player by clicking and dragging the edges of the player, or you can remove the video from the post by clicking the “Remove” button.
If you are having trouble adding the video to your post, there are a few things you can check:
– Make sure that the video file is in a format that WordPress supports. WordPress supports various video file formats, including MP4, MOV, and OGV.
– Check the size of the video file. If the file is too large, it may take a long time to upload or fail to upload altogether. If the file is too large, you can try compressing it or resizing it to a smaller size before uploading it to WordPress.
– Make sure that you have enough storage space in your media library. If your media library is full, you may be unable to upload any new media files.
I hope this helps! Give it a try, and let me know how that goes! 😄
