  Is embedding Slideshare no longer supported? All of my entries that had is no longer work (see https://virtualschooling.wordpress.com/2024/09/30/epit-webinar-2024-tuia-te-hononga-tangata-tuia-te-hononga-ao-taking-the-pulse-of-distance-learning-in-aotearoa-new-zealand/ as an example), and I’m in an entry now and there is no Slideshare block and all of the old codes no longer work (e.g., the Slideshare provided embed code, the [slideshare id= code, etc.).

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

  Hi, the short answer is no it doesn’t work anymore.

  WordPress 6.6.0 removed the Slideshare embed functionality because Slideshare themselves have turned off access.

  I don’t know why this wasn’t communicated or listed in the release notes. The only thing I could find about it was the developer discussion: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61349

  Hopefully this comment saves others searching for the same issue some time.
