Title: Adding Video Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Adding Video * [pods2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pods2001/) * (@pods2001) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/) * I’m very new to wordpress and we are looking to embed a youtube video to our media gallery and then add it to one of our projects. I have created a new category for it, but have no idea how to embed the video to the media gallery and have it the same size as the pictures. * The link is [http://middleforkluxury.com/portfolio/](http://middleforkluxury.com/portfolio/) * please advise, any help would be much appreciated Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * (@johnna-armstrong) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186013) * There’s no need to get the video into your Media Gallery, just embed it in your post or page. Have a look here for how it works: * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds](https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds) * [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * (@johnna-armstrong) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186014) * Update: I see your website is using the Mies theme, which has built-in support for videos. There may be another way to add video content to Galleries within the theme as well. * Thread Starter [pods2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pods2001/) * (@pods2001) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186043) * Thanks for your response. I was able to embed the youtube video for the project, but would like the video to only be visible under a single category and not all of the categories. Is that possible? * thanks again * [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * (@johnna-armstrong) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186069) * Can you provide the link to the video? I’m not understanding what you mean about it showing up in all categories. * Thread Starter [pods2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pods2001/) * (@pods2001) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186081) * sure, here you go * what I mean about the categories. Is that under the portfolio page, there are 4 categories 1. All 2. Completed 3. Custom Renovations 4. Now available * I want to add a 5th category called “Home Tours” and embed the video above, but I just want it under the “Home Tours” category and not the other 4. This is for the 2015 N. Clifton house. * Hopefully that makes sense * thanks again * [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * (@johnna-armstrong) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186090) * I guess I don’t see how your video could show up in “Home Tours” and not in “ All”. Since this is a premium theme, I’m not able to test out what you’re trying to do, but if I’m understanding what you want to do, I don’t think it’s possible. To me, it sounds like the best place for this video is on the 2015 N. Clifton house post, not as a portfolio piece in a separate category. Is the goal of creating a separate category intended to signal to visitors that video is available to view? You might query the theme creators and see if they have a solution for you. I’m sorry I don’t have a good answer. * Thread Starter [pods2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pods2001/) * (@pods2001) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186128) * ok, yeah I figured that might be the case. I think I will just have to embed the video and have it show up in all categories or just create a media/video page * I do have another question on social icons. I’m trying to get the youtube icon inserted into the footer, but the icon does not show up. I can add the link to our youtube channel and click it, but there is no icon present. * I added the youtube code below to the stylesheet(css) and still nothing. I do have the social media feather plug in installed. Any help would be much appreciated.

I can see your twitter icon here: * [http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/themes/mies-child/images/icon-twitter.png](http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/themes/mies-child/images/icon-twitter.png) * but I don’t see the youtube icon: * [http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/themes/mies-child/images/icon-youtube.png](http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/themes/mies-child/images/icon-youtube.png) * Is it somewhere else? * Thread Starter [pods2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pods2001/) * (@pods2001) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186143) * I have uploaded that image to the media library, link is below. Not sure how to get it in the /mies-child/theme/images directory. * [http://middleforkluxury.com/youtube/](http://middleforkluxury.com/youtube/) * still can’t see it when I add the link to the footer section, so something is off. Not sure where to look next. * thanks again for your help * [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * (@johnna-armstrong) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186144) * Oh okay, so your youtube image is here: * [http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/youtube.png](http://middleforkluxury.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/youtube.png) * You can either use FTP to upload the image into the same directory as the other images, or you can change the url path in your css to: * /wp-content/uploads/2016/03/youtube.png * Having all of your images in one place is probably optimal. * [https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Adding Video’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [embed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/embed/) * [media](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/media/) * [Pictures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/pictures/) * [video](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/video/) * [Youtube](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/youtube/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Johnna Armstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnna-armstrong/) * Last activity: [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-video-11/#post-7186144) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
