Trouble with video HTML from Camtasia-WordPress is changing things around

  • I’ve done this a million times–taken HTML code that Camtasia provides and pasted it into the HTML tab to show a video. Starting a couple of weeks ago (maybe when I upgraded?), it isn’t working. I’m studying the code and there are a couple of differences:
    WordPress inserts a blank line break – I can delete those
    WordPress changes the order of the parameters in a tag, so

    <object id="csSWF" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="512" height="338" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0">

    becomes
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0" height="338" id="csSWF" width="512">

    I don’t see why it should make any difference, but one of 2 things is happening:
    I get code on my page
    There’s no video, just a black box.
    I know that my URLs are correct, because the video plays when I paste it into my browser window. It’s just the whole embed code that isn’t working.
    Has anything changed?
    What do I do?
    Thanks!

  • The parameter order shouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference. What happens if you try this whilst using the Twenty Eleven theme with all plugins deactivated?

    I really don’t want to try that. It would mess up too many things and I have too many people visiting. Any other ideas? It has worked for ages with the current theme and plug-ins.
