    Hi. I just installed Wordpress and am new to it. I read on the Wordpress website as well as a couple other places that in order to post dailymotion video, I should just type in something like:

    [dailymotion id=some number]

    I tried that and all I see is the exact text I typed. I tried it in both the visual and code parts of the write new post and it did not work. I saw you could also do something similar to embed google video and youtube video. I copied and pasted the examples from people's website and I just get text again. Is there an enable video I am missing or a plugin that I need to install? I could not find any information if there was a video enable or plugin needed for v2.2 that I am using. I tried looking through the different menus that Wordpress gives the admin and I could not find anything. Thanks!

    You read that on the wordpress.com site. Those instructions are for those blogs hosted at wp.com only. The *.org is the support site for the software.

    Kind of like trying to use a Mcdonalds coupon over at Pizza Hut.

    Try adding in the embed codes and see if that works.
