  Hi, I cannot embed code (like Youtube videos, photos from Flicker, or other… stuff that can be embed). Does anybody know if this es because of my template https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/espied/ (in that case, why would that be?) or because WordPress.com doesn’t support embed options?
  Thanks,
  Irene

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

  Hi,
  You’re right I can embed Youtube videos (some time ago I tried and I had to have done something wrong because it didn’t work), and photos from Flickr. I tried embedding Flickr albums and nothing happened but that’s warned in the flickr-widget page.

  Yesterday, I wanted to embed a infogr.am graphic and it was impossible. I’ve pasted it in this post and, as you can see, nothing appears https://irenedelatorrearenas.wordpress.com/2015/10/08/barras-simbolicas-espanoles-en-new-england/ (it should be at the end)

  This is the code:
  

  Españoles registrados como residentes ausentes en el Consulado de Boston | Create your own infographics</div>
  Thanks!
  Irene

  We cannot post JavaScript on wordpress.COM hosted blogs, without having the software strip it out for security reasons. Go to https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ first and then read https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript
