Why can I embed with Youtube and Vimeo, but not Dailymotion?
-
All I have to use are the address links for Youtube and Vimeo for [ embed]. But that doesn’t work for Dailymotion. Why is that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Because something went sideways at Dailymotion a few weeks ago. Unfortunately you can’t use Dailymotion at the moment at all. They changed the way their embeds work, and WP.com has not yet gotten a way back to compatibility.
-
WordPress changed their embed coding to the [ embed] [ / embed ] style too. So you are saying that Dailymotion changed one way and WordPress changed in another way.
Is there a list of video websites that allow embedding that you know of? Or is it a crapshoot?
