Why embed codes don't work?
-
Embed features (like Pinterest boards and Skype Call button) are not working. I paste the code but only some characters show up (like “//”). How can I solve this?

Hi there. Chances are you’re using embed codes that are only available on WordPress.org sites, rather than WordPress.com.
Here is the information for embedding from Pinterest here at WordPress.com:

For a list of available shortcodes you can use on WordPress.com sites, please look at the following:

I hope this helps! Take care.

Hi thatrobyn. Thanks for your explanation, it was very helpful.
I’ll probably self-host my website in the future. Can you tell me if I can simply migrate it to WordPress.org or do I have to build a whole different site?
Regarding the codes I’d like to use, the point was to build a portfolio page. But I found out about the Portfolio feature and I’m trying to set it up now.
Thanks again,

Filipa,
Glad to help!

If you decide to self-host, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if itâs right for you:

Great. Let me know how that works out for you, or I can help further. I thought you might also like to see our very photo-friendly themes:
