I have uploaded a new post to my site marketingcontenttoday.com with a flash video added to the post.

When you click the link to the post everything is ok. However, the post shows only the coding for the video when displayed on the home page.

Please assist.

Roar

I am getting a phishing warning when I go to that site. Maybe the server you are on is compromised.

where in the post do you have the video added (beginning, middle end - after the 6th word)
What is the code for the video?
What do you have set at ato->Configure EXCERPTS->Don't strip these tags and what do you think you should have there?

The video is added after a 17 word sentence (it doesn't matter if I remove the sentence).

Code: [flv]http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FBAD-SalesDemo.flv[/flv]

At Configure EXCERPTS Don't strip these tags I've got <p>. I don't know what I should have there.

Try adding [flv] to that option

I tried that now, but no success.

What version of atahualp?
What plugin are you using for the videos?

I'm using 3.6.1 The plug-in is Viper's Video Quicktags.

the issue is with the plugin. It is using a short code to create the html. The excerpts strip the html by default, so you need to go to th efull post and look at the code. Determine what HTML is being generated and add those codes to the 'EXCERPTS Don't strip these tags'

The problem is that I don't get any other html. I upload a file to the site which automatically gives me the short code.

yes you do get html, the short code is translated t html when the code for the page is generated. This is why I told you to look at a page, then look at the source of the page. All browsers have the ability to look at the source code of the page you are viewing.

Once you have the source, you need to locate the area where the post is and then you can see what the shortcode has been translated to by the plugin.

Well, I have done like you said and looked at the source code for the post. This is what I found:

<p> http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com...-SalesDemo.flv swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com...yer.swf”, “vvq-382-flv-1″, “400″, “320″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, { “wmode”: “transparent”, “allowfullscreen”: “true”, “allowscriptaccess”: “always”, “file”: “http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com...emo.flv”, “volume”: “100″, “bufferlength”: “15″, “image”: “http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com...emo.jpg” }, vvqparams, vvqattributes); </p>

Can you please help me here? I really don't know what I am looking for. (By the way, the code looks different when I edit this post than to what it looks like in my posted comment.)

when you want to put code into a post on this forum, use the HTML button it will put a [ html ] [ /html ] around the code and it will be treated correctly.

look at the code and put the HTML types in the option. If you see

<image....>    </image>

then you need to add

<image>

to the 'EXCERPTS Don't strip these tags' and any other codes you see

I am aware of that. You didn't get my last comment right.

What I said is that when I pasted the code into the reply to this thread the code changed appearance when it got loaded to the post. (I am not talking about the post at my site, but the posted reply to this forum.)

As I said before, the only code I get when I upload the Flash file is the short url.

I copied the source code to the comment at my site and that is what I sent to you. Maybe you want to have a look? (marketingcontenttoday.com)

I should have said ' when you want to add code to a post in this forum (I have added that now) you use the forum HTML button

Sorry, I read your message wrong. My mistake.

Here's the code again:

<p> http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FBAD-SalesDemo.flv swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/player.swf”, “vvq-382-flv-1″, “400″, “320″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, { “wmode”: “transparent”, “allowfullscreen”: “true”, “allowscriptaccess”: “always”, “file”: “http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FBAD-SalesDemo.flv”, “volume”: “100″, “bufferlength”: “15″, “image”: “http://www.marketingcontenttoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FBAD-SalesDemo.jpg” }, vvqparams, vvqattributes); </p>

Are you looking at the code on the excerpt page or the full post page. On the excerpt page, the html has already been stripped. You need to look on the full post page.

I solved the problem. I had set "Only Excerpts" instead of "Full Post" at "Posts or Excerpts on Home Page?" which obviously blocked the needed code.
