  I checked the WordPress FAQ for embedding Dailymotion videos in the support section, but it doesn’t tell me how to set the width using shortcode. Since the code generated by Dailymotion doesn’t work and most of my web searches turned up results that didn’t work either, I decided to see if anyone could help me out here. I know it’s a simple fix, but I just can’t seem to find it.

  Here’s the video I’m trying to embed:
  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrxjtx_lostboy-ponyman-gordonlightfoot-totoro_music

  I’m trying to set the width to 600 pixels since that the standard width I use for my website – Bhitov.com

  If someone will tell me what I need to add to this bit of code to make it happen, I would be most appreciative:

  [dailymotion id=xrxjtx]

  Thank you!

  At Settings -> Media in your Dashboard, you have a “Maximum size for auto-embeds” setting. Just leave it blank for the default.

  And then don’t use the shortcode: paste the URL of the video in the HTML editor.
