my video tags keep getting stripped away

    I am having LOT of trouble inserting video.

    When I use an embed code from a site like vimeo it can get stripped away after I have published it and viewed it.

    I tried using viper video tag plugin which ended up giving a smaller tag which sometimes is OK but sometimes the html code shows up on the display.

    In either case the video tends to show up OK on the single post but when that post is combined with others on the HOME page – the video NEVER shows up!

    I’m at a loss. Every time I do this it works out differently.

    the home page template (index.php ?) is probably using the_excerpt() instead of the_content() (as in single.php)

    the excerpt is stripping all html from the content.

    edit the home page template and replace the_excerpt() with the_content()

    to keep your post short on the home page, consider using the ‘more tag’ while writing the posts.

    thanks a lot!

    I have read your instruction several times plus the link

    Can you explain HOW DO I edit the home page template and replace the_excerpt() with the_content()

    I just tried embedding my video code in another of my word press sites and it works fine.

    Could this be caused by the template of my original word press ? I use artisteer templates for both sites. We have had trouble with a few items.

    could the trouble be with plug-ins? I have more plug ins installed in the problem site. I uninstalled anything to do with video.

    What do you suggest?
