  I tried both the mixcloud embed code and the wordpress shortcode, to embed an upload onto my wordpress.com post. No success. Any ideas?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  if these instructions do not work for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/mixcloud-audio-player/ then we need you to provide the exact code you are using here between code tags.

  Thank you for your kind help!

  I didn’t think that it was so spimple…. Before I have been trying to use the wordpress shortcode, but it just didn’t work. I was trying the embed code, which did not work either. Than I googled this gyga code, and manually replaced the line between the words “feed” and “standard” with whatever there was in the items embed code. That did work.
  Now I just tried to just copy paste the item’s link, and itworked like a charm…. Interesting…
  Thanks again for tour kind reply!

  Kind regards,

  Attila

  NEWS!

  I’ve just realized that, I could not embed a post because the title contained Hungarian characters (Belső Háború http://www.mixcloud.com/szabadgondolat/bels%C5%91-h%C3%A1bor%C3%BA/) which automatically was used in the item’s address… So the characters ő, á, ú got replaced with those codes, which somehow was not recognized in wordpress…

  This was the code, that worked:
  [gigya src="http://www.mixcloud.com/media/swf/player/mixcloudLoader.swf" flashvars="feed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2Fszabadgondolat%2Fbels%25C5%2591-h%25C3%25A1bor%25C3%25BA%2F&embed_uuid=a7460d3e-b454-4327-bca3-d1274fe913b6&replace=0&embed_type=widget_standard" wmode="opaque" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="280"]

  So Whenever I have an Item with Hungarian characters in it’s title, which is automatically used in the address, it is not possible to embed the post.
  It is only possible by using that certain gigya code mentioned above.

  Hope this helps….

  Since I found out that the upload’s title can only contain english (latin) characters, when I upload a file, I don’t use hungarian characters anymore. Later the title can be changed without any problems. And I don’t use the gigya code anymore. I just copy paste the upload’s address from the address bar, and it works like charm….
  To be honest, I don’t even know what the gigya code is all about…. I only used it, when my upload’s title contained hungarian characters, an I could not embed it into my wordpress post.

  Regards,
