 * Hi, I recently moved my wordPress over to my own hosting with surpass. Once I
   imported all my XML data to the new host, none of my embedded players worked.
   It only showed the HTML script. I tried to go back and edit the post and even
   start a new post with the HTML code from my Bandcamp, Soundcloud, youtube and
   still nothing. Only the script. Please help!

 * 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:

 * 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](http://www.theare.wordpress.com)(
   My free WP acct) the link below has the usual bandcamp player [bandcamp track

 * 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

 * 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!
