Wordpress web design issue/help!

I have a wordpress site and on some of the pages, I have links to some of my Youtube videos.

When you click on these links, it opens up the youtube vid in a seperate tab.

However I want it so when you click the link, it directs you to a new page within my site with my youtube video embedded in.

Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?

  • many ways, you can either make it as a Post in a certain category(videos for example) or a custom post type. Give it a thumbnail and use it to display a video screenshot then when the user click on it, redirect them to the single-page.
  • Remove target attribute from your links

    • Make the new page. Grab the embed code from the Youtube page (click on 'share' to find it).
      Add the embed code to your new page in text view and publish it. Now change the original link to your new page.

      Redirects take a huge performance hit in page load time. It is not the way to go. The other person who replied didn't read carefully what you wanted to do.

  • Create a post, then create a category for that post...
  • Thank you guys for your responses, i'll try it out tonight and if I get stuck i'll reply here again.

    Thank you again!
  • see that link in your browser bar up top,when you are in youtube, use that..

    WordPress have updated their system to allow that

    don't use embed code in wordpress, not required
  • Check source of the links, remove "target=_blank", that will solve it.
