  I’m trying to get VideoPress for a self hosted WordPress site. Jetpack takes me here but the Get VideoPress buttons on this page do nothing https://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/videopress/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I found the issue. The page should redirect to http://videopress.com/

  It looks like we actually setup a WordPress.com blog and that VideoPress was purchased for that blog. How do we delete the blog – https://flynnvideo.wordpress.com/ – and get VideoPress to work on flynncrew.com?

  DO NOT DELETE THE BLOG. Staff will sort this out. When you delete it, all the upgrades go poof too.

  Hi there,

  Did you follow the instructions found here:

  Home

  Please note that you’ll need to set up a new WordPress.com blog as this is where your videos will be hosted.

  Once you add the VideoPress plugin to your self-hosted blog you should be set.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  yes we did that – that’s how we ended up with https://flynnvideo.wordpress.com/

  We have Jetpack do we need the videopress plugin too? I thought the jetpack feature replaced the videopress plugin as it hasn’t been updated in over two years. Is it still maintained?

  We have Jetpack do we need the videopress plugin too?

  It is step 3 as seen here:

  Home

  It states:

  You’ll add the VideoPress plugin to your blog.

  Try that and let me know if you still have issues with this.

  The steps ask to create a new wordpress account. What if we have one already?

  Since you have a WordPress.com account already, you don’t have to create a new one. :)

  Since you already have the WordPress.com account and purchased the VideoPress plugin, you can skip straight to step 3, which is installing the VideoPress plugin on your self hosted site:
