Embedding Wordfaire into Self Hosted Wordpress

I am trying to get Wordfaire live blogging embed code to work on my site and having some problems. I created a new page for my live blog feed on site site and added the embed code to the html page in wordpress. When I test it out and try a test live blog nothing runs on the page.

Is there a trick to getting it to work on wordpress??

Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist!

It sounds to me that you are using the HTML view of the WordPress editor to paste the embed code, correct?

A better way would be to make a simple plugin that will create a shortcode with the embed code, then you use that shortcode to display the embed code on your page.

Example:

embed-shortcode-plugin.php

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Plugin Name
Plugin URI: http://pluginurl.com
Description: Plugin description
Version: 1.0
Author: Author Name
Author URI: http://authorurl.com
*/

function embed_shortcode($atts,$content=null){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array('optionname'=>'defaultvalue'),$atts));
    // The extract() function above will allow you to do [shortcode optionname="defaultvalue"] in your pages and use $optionname to get the value below
    // The extract() line is optional and can be removed
    // $optionname = defaultvalue
    return 'put your embed code here';
}
add_shortcode('shortcode','embed_shortcode');
// This will add the shortcode 'shortcode': [shortcode], change to whatever

?>

Put that in your plugins folder and then activate it. Alternatively, you could remove the stuff between the /* and */ and put that code right in your theme's functions.php file and it will run the same.
