Flickr Slideshows work half the time, don't the other half. Same exact link.
-
Hello! Overall, I love WordPress — beautiful, functional, enjoyable. But embedding Flickr slideshows is integral to what I do, and for months now there is a continual bug in this: half the time, my Flickr slideshow/video links work, and half the time, they do not. And I am very, very, VERY sure that I am pasting them in exactly the same way each time.
Also: I have ‘automatic embedding’ enabled. Also, I have gone through the various Forum discussions of this problem, and have tried their suggestions. But these things do not resolve the problem.
Basically, it appears to be utterly random — the same exact post will show the slideshow on, say, Friday evening, but the next morning it will show naked HTML text (which makes me look sloppy and unprofessional). Please help!!
Thank you very much, -John Slaymaker

I’m not seeing any issues now.
The next time it happens, would you please take a screenshot and upload it via Media -> Add New in your Dashboard so we can take a look?

Done! My most recent post (the screenshot image) still has naked HTML showing for the slideshow, while in the preceding post the slideshow works. Thank you for your help!

Also, yesterday morning this same exact link _worked_, and the slideshow is what was visible to the public; but a few minutes later, it was naked HTML again. V.confusing.

All of your Flickr slideshows appear to be working properly for me. If you’re still seeing the HTML, would you be able to grab a screenshot to upload to your Media Library?
