 * Right, I’m a complete newbie to wordpress and have no programming skills at all.
   
   I have used a theme WP Opulus theme to create a video sharing site. I have saved
   a static page, added posts and categories. I have put the video links from you
   tube into the posts and have added post names to the menu, home, DJ & Soundsystem,
   poetry, etc I cannot seem to be able to get the videos (installed in the posts)
   to play when I go into that item on the homepage menu eg I press on the menu 
   link, such as DJ& Soundsystem, and get ‘sorry no posts matches your criteria’.
   Please help this novice getting the video site online. Thank you.

 * What is your site URL? Did you set up the custom menu using categories for those
   menu items?

 * Hello,
    Thank you for your reply. OK my site URL is rastafaritvuk.com/wp. I have
   set up home page and categories for menu items (such as poetry, reasoning, etc)
   on rastafaritvuk menu and same on WP Opulous main mene. The posts in my dashboard
   have the u-tube URLs where the videos will play from. If I preview post and press
   video I can see the videos run I have uploaded, but this will not happen when
   I press menu item from home page preview. I need this to work before I can publish
   site. As I am a total novice when it comes to doing all this stuff, need the 
   helping hand! I have added home page to the menu and all other menu items are
   categories as I have posts and categories where the videos are shown. I have 
   therefore not followed instructions in 1st link above and have added categories
   as the 2nd link above says. Thank you. MO
