UPDATE: After publishing the training I've received a few comments, and it seems that this method won't work for WA hosted sites. Still, it can be a good choice for Wordpress sites hosted elswhere :)

With that having said ...

As we all know, adding a YouTube video in WordPress is extremely simple.

But it requires you to manually log in, to create a post in order to embed the video.

But there is another way ...

A free and easy-to-use method that will allow you to automatically generate a new Wordpress post from your newly uploaded YouTube videos.

So I've decided to create this short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to automatically create new WordPress posts from YouTube videos.

Interested?

I'm setting up my account, but having problems connecting to my WordPress blog. No matter what format I put in, it says "Blog URL is not a valid Wordpress url".

I tried using the IFTTT password and the WA password that connects me to my website in case that's the problem, but still no go. What part of this could I have wrong?

Based on your imput you are using an incorrect/invalid url for your site.

Have you used the www. part too?

I've used every input that I can think of--www, https://, making sure there's a / at the end, but no go.

What is the user name and password that I should be using--the WordPress one or the IFTTT one? The IFTTT ones automatically populated in the boxes, so I tried again with the WordPress login that I use in WA.

When you set yours up, which set of username/password combo did you use?

Honestly, I don't know what to say Janelle ...

I'm starting to consider a possible WA-related security block?

Is your site a WA hosted site?

If so is siterubix or owned domain?

It is a WA hosted site, I'm thinking that you are onto it and maybe that's why I can't connect.

Thanks!

Now, I have to say this is awesome and looks like a very smart way of combing YouTube with IFTTT

I have bookmarked the IFTTT link to look further at, but thanks for sharing as a YouTuber, this is of real interest to me

What can I say - you have so many brilliant ideas Zed :)
You say that IFTTT is a fee-paying app, please could you tell me how much it costs?
Many thanks
Chrissie :)
