Shortcodes Do Not Work

  • Adding a TED shortcode, all I get is text

    [ted id=2046]

    Other shortcodes seem to work ..

    Anybody have a theory / quick checklist of what this could be?

    Or even better want to take a look?

  • Where have you added it? Widget? Post Content? Page Content?

    What theme are you using?

    I’m also fairly certain WordPress.com shortcodes do not work on .org self hosted sites:

    I’m not 100% but fairly certain I tried a YouTube short code the other day to no avail, so I ended up writing my own.

    I’d like to know where this particular shortcode came from?

    It’s a WordPress.com shortcode, that link I posted above has them all.

    I only know because I was trying the YouTube one in a plugin I was developing a few days ago , lol.

    Ah! I missed your reply! That’s a useful list.

    Ahh, ok. This is starting to make sense.

    I didn’t realize this was going on with shortcodes ..

    The embed code is from TED’s site …

    Check out the video too, seriously cool – if icky!

    THCB is here – in case you can tell anything by taking a quick look under the hood

    Addendum: added to post ..

    I’m guessing the guys at TED / Medium don’t realize that their embed won’t work for people who aren’t hosted on wordpress.com. Is there a workaround?

    It’s not really to do with the people over at TED. It’s more that the folks over at wordpress.com have added this shortcode feature into all of their themes/sites.

    That’s true, but wonder if the guys at TED know about it …

    Is there a recommended fix?

    Not that I have com across. Do you know if TED is an oEmbed-Enabled site? If it is, then you could embed videos just using the url by adding support for an oEmbed-Enabled site
