    I looked at the docs and I looked in the forums, but I can not find how to get a video to play. I used the video media element and loaded the video. But all that shows is a link and when you click the link it downloads the video to the computer… Any suggestions??

    Thanks..

    Hi,

    Thanks for that, I can see a video element on the second URL though it seems not to be playing. I tried the direct URL of the video as well but it doesn’t seem to be playing there either. Could you try uploading it to Youtube or Vimeo instead maybe to see if that works better?

    Hi,

    As Rikard said, the best way to be followed is uploading your video to the Youtube or Vimeo. You can check this article: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-you-should-never-upload-a-video-to-wordpress/
