  Hi there, I’ve been trying to embed my mixcloud mixes into my wordpress for a while now.

  I understand that I need to use the code [gigya src="URL" flashvars="VARIABLES"]

  However I’m having trouble. When I post my code like this “[gigya src="//www.mixcloud.com/media/swf/player/mixcloudLoader.swf" flashvars=feed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2Fe1anator%2Fdreamscape%2F&mini=&stylecolor=&hide_artwork=&embed_type=widget_standard&embed_uuid=e3991635-f09e-4104-976b-b7117b442b1b&hide_tracklist=&hide_cover=1&autoplay=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="360"]

  I get the error message: embed_shortcode: //www.mixcloud.com/media/swf/player/mixcloudLoader.swf is not a valid URL

  What am I doing wrong? Please help!

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

  You’re missing the http before the rest of the URL, and you’re missing the opening quotation mark for the flashvars.
