Hey this Youtube video is absolutelly easy included into this wordpress blog post. As I found Claus’ Blog posting about
Wordpress YouTube Plugin 🔗
,I thougt about giving it a try. It works really perfect and the most important: It’s easy - perfect for dummies.
And this is how it works:
Download the file youtube_v1.1.zip and extract youtube.php to the plugin-folder: /wp-content/plugins/. Activate the plugin “Youtube” on the Wordpress admin screen. Finished!
Download it at the author’s page. When writing a simple post or page, just write [y-outube ID] and your complete! And replace “y-outube” with “youtube”. Sorry for that, this is just to show you the code. The ID must be replaced with the video (case sensitive) id out of youtube…
Sample http://youtube.com/watch?v=NopuJ_OYjsk In this case the ID number is: NopuJ_OYjsk So just write: [y-outube NopuJ_OYjsk**]** And replace “y-outube” with “youtube”. Sorry for that, this is just to show you the code.
Easy, isn’t it? Thanks to Claus!
Update on Youtube video integration in Wordpress 🔗
In the year 2024, integrating Youtube videos into Wordpress websites is still a common practice, but there have been some changes and updates since 2011.
While the basic concept of using a plugin to simplify the process remains the same, there are now even more advanced plugins available that offer additional features and customization options for Youtube video embedding.
One popular plugin that has gained traction since 2011 is the “WP Youtube Lyte” plugin, which not only allows for easy embedding of Youtube videos but also optimizes them for faster loading times and better performance on Wordpress sites.
Another notable development is the rise of Gutenberg, the new Wordpress block editor introduced in 2021. Gutenberg makes it even easier to embed Youtube videos directly into Wordpress posts and pages without the need for plugins, simply by adding a Youtube block and pasting the video URL.
Furthermore, Youtube itself has introduced new embedding options and API features over the years, allowing for more interactive and engaging Youtube video integrations on Wordpress websites. For example, content creators can now easily embed Youtube live streams, playlists, and VR videos into their Wordpress sites with just a few clicks.
In 2024, security and GDPR compliance have become top priorities for Wordpress site owners, including those who embed Youtube videos. It is important to use plugins and methods that ensure GDPR compliance when embedding Youtube videos, such as obtaining user consent before loading Youtube embeds or using GDPR consent management tools.
In conclusion, while the basic process of including Youtube videos in Wordpress may still be “absolutely easy” as mentioned in the 2011 text, there have been significant updates and advancements in Wordpress plugins, Gutenberg, GDPR compliance, and Youtube embedding options since then. Site owners in 2024 have more choices and tools at their disposal to create engaging Youtube video integrations on their Wordpress sites.
For the latest and most updated information on Youtube video integration in Wordpress, it is recommended to refer to the most recent Wordpress documentation and Youtube API guidelines.
Enjoy embedding Youtube videos on your Wordpress site in 2024!
