  Hi, I am not able to upload video’s to my wordpress library. I have enough space (also asked my host about it) so I tried it with Filezilla and the upload was succesfull but I don’t see the video in my library in WordPress. Transip (my host) gave me all the rights so that can not be the case. Hopefully you can help me out?

  Hi,

  Excellent question. When a file is uploaded via FTP the WordPress media library won’t automatically pick up the file for you. There is a plugin called Media from FTP (https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-from-ftp/) that will allow you to add files that have been uploaded via FTP to the media library.

  On a side note, this forum is for users of WordPress.com. For sites hosted elsewhere you’ll want to use the forum for those at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ to get help.

  Hi there,

  As @3sonsdevelopment already mentioned, since your site isn’t hosted with us (WordPress.com) you need to ask for help in the WordPress.org forums:
