* I’d like to add a [VoiceThread](http://voicethread.com/) presentation to my WordPress
blog, but right now it is not working.
* I paste in code that looks like this:
*
* . . . but nothing comes up.
* I’ve had similar problems with YouTube videos and got them working with the help
of a plugin. Is there something I can change so I get this to show up too?

* Everything should work even without plugins if:
– you don’t use the dumb wysiwyg
editor – search for correct examples in the forum

* I just copied the code from here and pasted into a test blog (wysiwyg is always
killed on my blogs!) and it works perfectly.

* That code works but won’t validate. Try this code:
* ```
```
* Your main problem though is the visual editor, as stated above. Use the code
editor, or disable “rich text” editing entirely.

* (Ok, I didn’t try to validate it, just pasted into a local xampp install 🙂

* Well, I didn’t actually validate it either, I just know that `embed` won’t ever
validate in anything, anywhere. embed is not a valid tag in any flavor of HTML
or XHTML.

* I want to thank both of you for taking the time to try to help me out . . . unfortunately
it’s still not working.
* I have the Visual Editor off, I tried it in two different browsers, I tried it
an external application (MarsEdit). I tried them all with the original version
and the version Otto42 provided. Each time nothing comes up and, when I go back
to edit it, the code I pasted in isn’t there anymore.
* I’ve searched for the answer, and I’ve seen this problem mentioned. However if
a solution was provided, I didn’t understand. So I apologize in advance for my
ignorance, but if anyone knows how I can fix it, I would appreciate it.

* I’ve tried installing the “Disable wpautop Plugin” but that didn’t work. It still
strips out all the code I pasted in.
* I also found this:

* The “correct invalid XHTML” in the options area is turned off, but it did mention
something about editing the formatting.php file. Except that was 5 months ago
and is referring to something in 2.1. I’m running 2.2.1, do you think that this
applies? Isn’t that going to do what the “Disable wpautop Plugin” was supposed
to do?

* Then you are doing something wrong.
Without editing any core files and other
tricks it should work if the wysiwyg is turned off. NOT switching between Code
and Visual but completely turned off!

* Just to be sure we’re talking about the same thing, when you say “the wysiwyg
is turned off,” do you mean the box in front of “Use the visual editor when writing”
in the Profile is unchecked? Or do you mean something else?

* Okay, I figured out the problem. My blog is on a WordPress MU install which has
tighter restrictions than a regular WordPress install. There’s a hack [here](http://dev.robertmao.com/2007/07/18/get-rid-of-boring-wpmus-post-htmljavascript-filtering/).
After I followed those directions, it worked. Although WPMU developers will tell
you you’re opening yourself up to problems if you do that, so use at your own
risk.
