Are you pasting the code in the HTML tab or the Visual tab?
I’ve tried both. When I upload in the HTML tab, I get just the HTML script in the post. When I upload in the visual, I can see a yellow box with F in it but when I look at the post, there’s nothing there. Could I possibly need a certain flash plugin after I upload using my own host?
If you’re uploading the videos, you’ll need a plugin to play them. Try this one:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/
It’s not just videos. I have songs on my bandcamp acct. My soundcloud acct and I can’t get the embedded player to show up using the HTML code generated for wordpress on those sites. for example:
on http://www.theare.wordpress.com(My free WP acct) the link below has the usual bandcamp player
[bandcamp track=1473320414 size=venti bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB]
One my new wordpress which is hosted through surpass, all I get it that script. I also tried the HTML embed link for wordpress.org and still the same results
[bandcamp track=1473320414 size=venti bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB]
That’s shortcode, which wordpress.com uses quite frequently. A regular WordPress blog can’t process it without a plugin.
Regular HTML embed codes, like the ones you get from youtube.com, should work properly if pasted into the HTML tab. If you’re still having trouble, try the plugin I recommended.
Ok, thanks!! Things are working now. I’m using the other HTML code given for WP.org and actually publishing it and it works. The tricky part for me is that I always hit “preview” to make sure things are right and by doing this, the HTML embedded doesn’t show up. It only shows up after publishing it. Thanks for your help!
