Now embed your SlideShare docs on WordPress.com
Apr 16, 07:52 am PST
Ever since we introduced the new player to display presentations (and documents) that were in portrait mode (taller than they were wide) people have asked us to enable that for embeds on WordPress.com.
We’ve been working with the folks at Automattic over the last couple of weeks to ensure the new player works there too. So now you can just copy the WordPress.com shortcode from a presentation page and paste it into your post. Once you save and publish, that will automatically (see what I did there?) be replaced by the correct player displaying your presentation or document from SlideShare.
Geeky stuff for plugin authors: The only change we’ve made is adding an extra “&type=d” to the end of the shortcode. When you see this, you should use the new ssplayerd.swf instead of the regular presentation player.

Just submitted version 1.5 of my WordPress.org plugin to support the updated code and the new player! You can find it here: http://yoast.com/wordpress/slideshare/

I understand embedding just well enough to have put a link to a PPT presentation hosted on SlideShare.com into my WP.com blog. What does it mean to “copy the WordPress.com shortcode from a presentation page”? What is a presentation page — the page on SlideShare.com on which you access the document you store?

Ari,
Yes, that’s correct, the page with the presentation on SlideShare is what I meant. If you click on “More Sharing options” below the presentation you will see (among other things) a text box labeled “For WordPress.com”
If you copy that code and paste it into your blog post on WordPress.com, it will show up as the presentation when you publish your blogpost.

I’ve tried to follow the comments to understand how to embed the slideshare presentation into my blog but I’m obviously missing something. Firstly, the blog is on wordpress.org 2.7.1. I’ve downloaded the plugin, copied the embed code from the slideshare presentation, but I don’t know where to paste it. I tried pasting it on a post, on a page and on the sidebar but nothing comes up. What am I missing?

I am finding that there are possibly some incompatibilities with the latest version.
Has anyone got a fully functioning site with a slideshare plugin?
Or are there issues with certain themes?
Thanks,

I am also having problems getting this to work.
Using plug-in version 1.5, Wordpress 2.7.1 hosted by GoDaddy and have tried Wordpress Classic and Wordpress 1.6 themes.
The frame where the show should be flashes briefly but is left as a blank space once the page is loaded.
Maybe there’s an issue with the sequence in which the plug-in output is loaded into the HTML?

The wordpress plugin 1.5 doesn’t work with WP Mu 2.7.1. Well, it does work if you use google chrome but not with firefox or explorer. In fact I did not realize the malfuncion until I used a different PC tnan mine.
Reinstalling older plugin solves all.

There is a bug in the plugin ver 1.5.
Edit the plugin and replace the following line:
$content = ”;
with the following line:
$content = ”;
There are two extra quotes in the code which cause the bug.

Is there a specific reason you chose SlideShare over its competitors?

When using slideshare 1.6.3 on wordpress mu 2.8.4 I receive the following code error when using Firefox: 2192308&doc=elearning-quality-workshop-intro-slideshare-091011114039-phpapp01 ) –> that is displayed right after the slideshare presentation. On any other browser, the page just ends and will not display any remaining content.
Anyone have any ideas?
