Have Your YouTube Shorts Video Embedded on WordPress
Normally, pasting a YouTube Shorts video link on WordPress does not work.
However, there is a hack that can make the video appear.
Here is how to embed a YouTube shorts video on WordPress:
- Go to the YouTube shorts video, click share and copy the link
- Paste the link on WordPress. Could be through a video widget, e.g https://youtube.com/shorts/NjKcGe4KFcs?si=I2ecUN_FnaGUfhWS
- Finally, remove the phrase “shorts” from the link and replace it with the phrase “embed“
- So the link goes from https://youtube.com/shorts/NjKcGe4KFcs?si=I2ecUN_FnaGUfhWS to https://youtube.com/embed/NjKcGe4KFcs?si=I2ecUN_FnaGUfhWS
