Hey Colin,

You never want to upload videos/audio directly to your website. It will slow down your website load times/performance. Any website with videos on it out there will either have independent hosting for their videos or they will upload to either Youtube or Vimeo and then embed to their websites from there (which I recommend).

So if you have a video that you want to use on your website, you will want to upload it to Youtube and then embed to your website from there. Here is some training on how to embed a Youtube video: This will also give you additional exposure to your video within the Youtube community (which can actually lead to quite a lot of traffic).

Hi Kyle. Thanks for that information. So, I uploaded my friend's YT video about a product of his. I did it as you said. It was fine. I think I didn't clearly explain the issues I'm having.

I just left a detailed post as to what is happening. I hope you or anyone will know what is going on and if the reasons I gave from my own mistakes are correct.

I got 502 and 503 bad gateways attached to my article URLs in the box on the left. I have 6 error messages under security. My screen freezes in WP, and nothing will save.

The circle just keeps spinning. I think some of it has to do with plugin I added, then deleted based on the suggetion of the security section. I'm wondering if I justs delete the site here on WA and start over if I can still keep the same site name and hosting URL I bought.

Thank you.

I am going to go back over the first seven lessons and read the stuff under the videos to get the correct way to do things embedded in my memory better.

Colin

You can embed videos at About your Wordpress spinning you can contact site support

Oh cool. Thank you so much, Brenda!

Sure, you’re welcome. Kyle said it all too. Same thing.

If you are trying to upload videos then stop doing it videos need to be uploaded to u tube and then use the embed code to embed the video on your site
If you have any site issues its best to submit a support ticket and the tech team will be able to answer all your questions and sort out any issues

Hello Barry.

If you reply to me, I'd appreciate a more professional manner. Also, no assumptions. Upload is a broad term, and whether we are embedding or using the YT block, it is still an upload just to inform you. Thank you.

My issue was not with the video, it was an error in my WP account that the service team helped find and fix for me

Thank you for your input,

Colin
