    Heres my site

    As you can see on the main page my slide show and video plug ins all work, but if you click on Amazing Moments in the category section, all I get is code.

    Any idea whats causing this? I switched skins from Vistalicious (what it is now) to the WordPress Default and everything worked, so I know it has something to do with the Vistalicious Theme.

    Thanks!

    What’s happening is that the category page that shows when you click “Amazing Moments” shows automatically-generated excerpts of the posts in those categories. WordPress generates that excerpt automatically by trying to strip out markup, but it’s doing a poor job of it in the case of that first post, because it’s leaving in some of the Flash code.

    The most direct way to address it is to create a custom excerpt for that post by putting text you want as the excerpt in the “excerpt” field.

    A longer-term solution would be to use a plugin to add the Flash code instead of just pasting it in the write field, as most such plugins will not include the Flash code in an excerpt, preventing this problem.

    thanks for the help filodofo. I think the problem is beyond my ability, so Im just going to select another theme.
