So ...
The THAT part of your recipe is where you define the action to perform when the recipe is triggered.
You need to click the blue "that" link to continue"
And this time you need to search for Wordpress:
And of course, you will be asked to activate the Wordpress channel. You'll have to provide your WordPress site URL, your username and your password:
UPDATE: unfortunatelly - as I found out after publishing this tutorial -, you won't be able to connect IFTTT with WA-hosted sites. But will work for sites hosted elswhere ...
Once you've connected your site, IFTTT will show you actions you can choose to perform on your WordPress site.
This time you want to select "Create a post" ...
In the next step, you need to choose the "ingredients" from your YouTube channel to add into your WordPress post.
As you can see in the screenshot below, I've chosen to add the YouTube video title as the WordPress post title, and the embed code in the post area:
But of course, you can add and configure the ingredients according to your needs.
At the bottom of the page you can choose whether you want to publish the post immediately, publish privately, or save as a draft.
Finally, click the "Create action" button.
IFTTT will now display your recipe details. You can save it by clicking the "Finish" button:
And that's it!
Your IFTTT recipe is ready now. It will automatically check YouTube for new videos every 15 minutes. If it finds a new video, then IFTTT will automatically create a new WordPress post from that YouTube video.
One final, important note ...
By default IFTTT has URL shortening turned on which means that your YouTube URL will be shortened by IFTTT and WordPress will not be able to embed your video!
To solve this issue, you need to disable URL shortening in IFTTT.
Start by clicking on your username on top right corner of the IFTTT dashboard and then click on Settings.
Next, scroll down to the URL shortening section and disable it:
And that's it my friends!

Thanks for your time!
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?
Here's to a successful 2019!
