Self Hosted Wordpress Video plugins you have had success with.
-
Does anyone know of some good plugins for wordpress for self hosted video? Thanks in advance!
-
Both FlowPlayer and JW Player will do that - they are both very nice, well used, robust players. Check out the sites, they have demos showing you what you can get.

FlowPlayer and JW Player i will check those out. Anyone ever use any good wordpress video player plugins? I want something with flexibility thats already been tested.

The easiest way to do this is to upload your video to a hosted service like youtube.com or vimeo.
**Externally Hosted Video **
1. Upload video to Youtube.com or preferred video hosting site
2. Log into your dash board
3. Use the quickpress feature on your dash
- enter a title
- paste the video URL into the content box
- couple of tags for good measure
4. Then, check your post on the front end and WP has done all the grunt work, added the embed code and essentially created a video post (damn, I love wordpress).
Adding a Hosted Video
I am pretty sure you need a plugin for this and the two ones I see mentioned a lot in wordpress circles are FlowPlayer and JW Player both of which have a free version.
I always tend to use the hosted method above but there is a tutorial on how to use these plugins here:

Hope it helps!

How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?
I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My Wordpress traffic has gone through the roof, huge referrals from wordpress.com - why?
My Wordpress traffic has hit an all time high over the last few days - in the last 48 hours I've had as many views as the last two months combined. This huge spike in traffic has coincided with a great piece of exclusive content that went up, but I wouldn't expect the traffic to be nearly as high as this. The strange thing is that all the extra traffic seems to be referred from Wordpress.com, however, I cannot drill down to a more specific URL. Also, the referrals do not seem to translate into page views of the homepage, nor a particular article. Can anyone offer any insight into this situation? Thanks
