SoMePoster can publish videos to WordPress.com through the Create Video Post tool. Make sure your WordPress.com account is already connected in SoMePoster and that your site supports video uploads. Important: video posting only works with paid WordPress.com plans that allow video uploads — free WordPress.com sites may reject the upload.
Go to Create Video Post
Open SoMePoster and click Create Video Post from the left menu.
Select WordPress.com
At the top of the Create Video Post page, select WordPress.com as one of the platforms.
Select the Correct WordPress.com Account
Choose the WordPress.com account you want to publish to.
Select the Correct WordPress.com Site
If that account has more than one WordPress.com site, choose the specific site where the video post should be published.
Upload Your Video
Click the video upload area and select a video from your computer. Wait until the upload reaches 100%. WordPress.com free plans usually don't allow video uploads — choose a paid, video-enabled site or the publish may fail.
Add a Title
Enter the post title. This will be used as the WordPress.com post title.
Write Your Post Content
Write the post content in the editor. You can add normal text, paragraphs, links, and hashtags if needed. SoMePoster will include the video in the WordPress.com post when publishing.
Optional: Edit Content Per Platform
If you're posting to multiple platforms, turn on Edit Content Per Platform and write a WordPress.com-specific title or post body.
Choose Post Now or Schedule
Post Now publishes immediately. Schedule lets you choose a future date and time.
Publish the Post
Click Post Now or Queue. SoMePoster will upload the video and create the post on the selected WordPress.com site.
Check the Result in My Posts
Go to My Posts to see the WordPress.com delivery status.
Statuses may include:
- Published
- Processing
- Failed
- Scheduled
If WordPress.com publishes the post successfully, SoMePoster will show the final post URL when WordPress.com returns it. If it fails, common causes include a free WordPress.com plan, missing permissions, a disconnected account, an unsupported video file, a file that's too large, or WordPress.com rejecting the media upload.
