  Hi,

  I believe I answered your question here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embed-video-9?replies=2#post-1899914

  Did that not work for you?

  No. I tried about a thousand times and nothing happened. I have no idea what to do now. Trying to search for answers but nothing’s working. Thanks. Stacey

  did you try clicking on the “text” tab at the top right of the update window and adding the link from there (rather than the default visual tab)? That will make a difference.

  @staceylynn411
  May we please just have the kickstarter video code and then we can supply the correct shortcode for you.

  <iframe width=”480″ height=”360″ src=”https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ftapon/the-unseen-africa-tv-series-the-pilot-episode-moro/widget/video.html” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”> </iframe>

  I tried clicking on the text tab instead of visual and nothing happened. Each time I add in the video preview or the widget code to its own line in the edit post box it disappears and nothing is in its place.

  Thanks for taking the time.
  Cheers, Stacey

  I think the big difference is you were trying to link to the video’s url and the key was you needed to link to the project’s url. Seems insignificant, but turns out to be important :)

  Thanks. It’s possible. I tried using the project’s url as well but didn’t have the embed stuff on either side. That’s what made the difference for me this time. I really appreciate it! Cheers.
