Thanks for looking Carolyn. This is especially interesting in view of the new Instagram widget. I will be curious to know what the answer is, so I've subscribed to this forum topic.

I went in to your most recent post and removed the width attribute from your Instagram shortcode and the images will then display in their full width of 612px, which will cause the images to wrap as you only have 940px of width in your content post area (960px minus 20px left margin).

But as far as being able to set a specific width, there seems to be only three sizes that will work: 612px (full size), 306px, and 150px. If you post below the threshold of the those three sizes, it defaults to the next smaller size - in your case, the 306px.

I'm going to have someone take a closer look to see what would be causing this and I'll get back to you once I have more information.

Thank you!

OK-understood.

I'm going to tag this for Staff help. I'm getting the same result on my test site as well. Regardless of what width I put in, when the 2 embeds are side-by-side in a shortcode, they won't be any wider than 306 pixels.

If I remove the width, the images display larger than half of the display size.... (thus one image per "line")... Which means they can be displayed at a larger size? I have no widgets in the primary sidebar... only widgets in the middle row and footer area! My widgets display at the bottom of each post as opposed to the side area, I thus have the entire width to use for posts!

From that same Support doc:

By default, the URL embeds the largest size of the image that can fit into the content area.

How are you hiding the sidebar widgets on your single posts? Did you hide them with the Custom Design Upgrade or by changing their "Visibility" on Posts?

Hi! I am having trouble with "resizing" my instagram images in my blog! I use a full page layout for my posts (960 pixel width photographs). I want to embed to instagram images next to each other (using guidelines as given in this link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/instagram/
Instead of using width=300 though, I use width=480)! However, my 2 photos does not fill the entire width. I have tried to change the width, but somehow it seems "fixed" at the same size! How do I correct this?

Thanks Pablo - I will add a link to your app in my post. But I would be happier if you improved the terms: it's not "Prezi link" and "Wordpress link", it's Prezi URL and wordpress.com shortcode.

Hey there. Unfortunately, it looks like there isn't currently a way to embed Cowbird in WordPress.

A previous post attempted to embed Cowbird via iframes, and the staff answer from csonnek was this:

Hi there!

On WordPress.com, there are certain types of code that are not allowed to be used in posts or pages - including iframe code - due to security concerns. Here's more information on the types of code allowed on WordPress.com:

I hope that clarifies things! Let me know if you have any questions.

The blog is already published and I guess I'll wait till morning and see what happens. The site has only had a few views from people I asked for opinions from, so I don't think i need to worry about that really. Thanks!

These are the locations remotely in the area, and everything is about a half hour drive. That isn't really accurate enough.

Try just leaving it in place for a few hours. Weather widgets can be tricky and it could be there's no current info for Bath. Check again in the morning; if you have a private Test blog, that's a good use for it, since nobody will see the widget.

So there isn't actually anything near Bath on wunderground, and I tried the Accuweather again, but it says New York again.

[gigya src="http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/netwx-v28.swf" height="138" width="180" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars=" </div><div style='text-align:center;font-family:arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#FFFFFF;'>Weather Forecast | <a style='color: #FFFFFF'" ]

This is the code I'm using.
As you can see, the location is right so I'm so confused :( I've been working on this for 3 or 4 hours now.
I'll try re-doing it though and I'll try the wunderground as well.

If you can get the Accuweather one to work, you just need to change your inputs at Accuweather itself to get the right location, assuming indeed that it has the correct location in its database.

There is a Bath, NY that is likely what it is pulling. My suggestion is to use the wunderground link above and choose station select. There are a couple of stations that are nearish to Bath (amherstville and amherst island).

In the sticket's html code, you'll see a line of "ForcedCity=Kingston", change that to Bath and the sticker's label will change.

It appears that there isn't a local weather observation station in Bath proper, at least that's public online.

Hope that's a little helpful. Best of luck on the site!

Cheers!

And in regards to kraftbj, it's a marina, so the weather has to be as accurate as possible.

loyalistcove on "Weather Widget"

loyalistcove — Tue, 07 May 2013 05:10:56 +0000

Alright so I figured out how to get Accuweather up but it's saying New York, not Bath. Both the original and short code says "BATH" but the sticker say New York.

kraftbj on "Weather Widget"

kraftbj — Tue, 07 May 2013 04:55:08 +0000

The best I could do for ya was wunderground.com's weather sticker for Kingston, ON. ( http://www.wunderground.com/stickers/?query=zmw:00000.1.71620 ). You can copy/paste the HTML code into a text widget.

I based that on Bath being part of Loyalist, ON and the Loyalist website having a weather badge for Kingston.

Cheers!

Hey
I know there are certain code you can and cannot use for weather widgets, but I need to find a site that is ok for WordPress and says the weather for Bath, Ontario. Underworld Weather doesn't have it, Accuweather doesn't have it, and a few other places I've tried don't have it.
Please help.

Hi all,
I'm working on a mockup page of my portfolio works in broadcast and I'm using Theme Horse's Attitude them that has no sidebars which gives me quite a lot of room to place 3 videos per line.

I've used a code that allows me to put 2 Youtube videos side by side:
<div style="float:left;width:auto;margin-right:14px;">
SHORTCODE1 HERE
</div>
<div style="float:left;width:auto;">
SHORTCODE2 HERE
</div>
<div style="clear:both;height:1em;"></div>

But I need to find the code to add a third video on the same row.

Can anyone help?
