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!

Help getting a Wordpress.com site to rank
Hi all, I have a blog for my site, but it hasn't been integrated into our site yet (that will happen in the next few months when we do some site changes). For now, it sits on a Wordpress.com site, and links from my website. I post a couple times a week, have social media linked to it, and feed posts to aggregators regularly. I also comment and like other Wordpress.com sites, but it just isn't ranking. Do I just need to stay persistent? It's been up for a month now, but still only getting a few hits a day. Any advice?

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!

WordPress Guest Post Admin Access?
Is there a plugin or function in WordPress for a guest poster to just get admin access to control comments? Example: Big Brand X writes a guest post on www.yoursite.com. Big Brand X wants admin access to approve or delete comments on their guest on www.yoursite.com. Big Brand X doesn't want access to edit their guest post or any other post on www.yoursite.com, they just want admin access to manage the comments on their guest post. Is this possible? Thanks for the help!
