Do you need to delete a YouTube video but need instructions? I recently found that I had a video that had not aged well. If found lots of what claimed to be easy steps to delete youtube video, however none of them looked like the 2018 YouTube pages.
Before you delete YouTube video look back to your blog. Have you used the video in any WordPress posts? Once you delete the video it will no longer be accessible to someone who finds and reads your post. You can either delete the post or remove the video embed code from the post. Another reminder is to search your website pages for the use of the video.
So here are the steps relevant to 2018…
How to Delete YouTube Video

2. Click your round profile image in the upper right, this opens a dropdown menu
3. Click on MY CHANNEL in the dropdown menu

7. Click the word DELETE in the dropdown menu

WordPress Privacy: Check For Unsupported Form Plugins
I’ve reviewed several websites for new clients to assist with their Privacy Policy. Form Plugins seem to be a consistent issue that pops up in the review.
A form usually appears on a WordPress site by using a plugin. Its important to keep these plugins updated. Updates may contain privacy or security patches that protect you and your users.
I’m recommending to clients to go beyond looking at their WordPress dashboard for plugin update alerts. Why? — because if a plugin developer has gone out of business or stopped doing updates to keep up with the latest version of WordPress you’d never know. Abandoned plugins will never show you an update alert!
I’m concerned about these abandoned plugins not because they aren’t working just fine, but because if the developer is out of business and there’s not developer website, there’s a good chance there’s no Privacy Policy to explain what data is collected by the plugin.
If a form plugin is no longer supported how will you know how it handles your privacy or your website users’ privacy?
