  When I link videos from Dailymotion in my posts, no image appears on my blog. For example I put these kinds of link : http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1103bj?logo=0&quality=720 or http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1103bj_uburundi-butamba_shortfilms and the link itself appears instead of an image. When I add it using “Ajouter un média”, the link doesn’t appear but there is an empty space instead of the video.
  It used to work perfectly but since a few months I have this problem.
  Thank you for your help

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

  Hi! I just tried the following code on my site and it worked for me. It might work for you as well. It worked in the new Beep Beep Boop editor as well as the Classic editor. Copy & paste…

  [dailymotion id=x1103bj]

  I followed these instructions to figure this out: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/dailymotion/

  It looks like you do this all the time, but just in case, here’s more video type embed instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  Hi Dean, thank you for your answer!
  It’s working using your method but the only problem is that I was trying to put the videos in the best quality so in Dailymotion you can force the default quality and export a special link (finishing like this : “&quality=1080”), but that link isn’t working on wordpress…
  Any idea to resolve that?

  Thank you again!
