    Helloo

    This works for you on your WordPress, right ?

    When I try it, it just comes up as a hyperlink and not an embedded video :(

      Yeah it works for me. You have to copy the code in HTML mode.

      • Eden

        Yeah I did that !
        Just the HTML tab at the top when youre posting, right ?
        It works when I try it in blogger, but when I try it with wordpress, everytime I click preview it converts the code to an ‘a href’

        Do you have a regular wordpress account with wordpress.com ?

        • http://www.yourdigitalspace.com/ Swamykant

          Yes. I do have a wordpress.com account. This my wordpress blog http://swamykant.wordpress.com/

          But WordPress.com doesn’t allow to embed Facebook. You can however add Google videos, Daily Motion and Youtube.
