  Hello there,

  I would like to add a dailymotion video with the widget text as following :

  <iframe frameborder=”0″ width=”480″ height=”270″ src=”http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1594bz”></iframe>
  Rueda de prensa de Ancelotti previa al Real… <i>par realmadridplay</i>

  Unfortunately the video does not appear, only a text.
  I’m using wordpress.com

  Anyone know why?

  Thank you!

  I’m using wordpress.com.

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

  Thank you. But this is to publish a dailymotion video in a post. It Works correcty.

  My question is to do it in a “text widget” published in the home page.

  Did you try using the shortcode in a text widget and is your sidebar wide enough to display a video?

  It’s working for me in my test blog.
