how to install plugin to view flipbook on my blogsite

    I just set up an account and paid to have a flipbook (http://www.flipsnack.com/ressuri/fxtm639c) embedded into my blogsite (ressuri.com) however it doesn’t seem to be showing up. The support team of flipsnack has give me a link to http://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/. Before the change in theme i was able to have the flipsnack embedding work. I’m not sure if it IS the theme that’s overriding my ability to view the flipsnack or if something else is wrong with the blogsite and it has somehow NOW disabled my ability to use iframe to view my flip book.

    If it IS the theme there must be a way to override the theme to have the plugin work.
    thank you so much and im looking forward to getting some answers

    Hi there, the iframe plugin that Flipbook referred you to is for self-hosted versions of WordPress only, not sites running on WordPress.com, since iframes aren’t allowed here on WordPress.com for security reasons. You can learn more about what types of code are allowed and not allowed on WordPress.com. If you’re not clear on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress, you can have a look at our support page.

    Before the change in theme i was able to have the flipsnack embedding work.

    Could you please show me a post, page, or widget, where you had Flipsnack embedding working earlier so I can have a look? A change of theme should have had no effect.

    You could try a Gigya shortcode to embed the Flash version of Flipsnack, although it’s not something we officially support:

    You can see the results on one WordPress.com site here:
