And it has worked. I hope this means Lockerz has seen the light.

Although it's a bit clumsy, the GIGYA short code worked well for me. Until that breaks, that will be my first approach to embedding video.

Meanwhile i found a workaround...

i used an image widget linking to my lockerz video gallery...

yes its a tad primitive and does not allow to see videos online on the blog itself...

but at least if someone its interested he can get to my video gallery

with just a single click...O_O

the WordPress crew probably has a new strategy they have yet to unveil. Hopefully it is sooner than later, as my affected blog is less sticky without the VodPod feature.

Hi there,

We apologize for the length of time involving this matter and truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you would like to add the wordpress shortcode to your wordpress blog, visit the video decal detail page of the video you want to publish and scroll down underneath the "Loved By" section on the right and click the "Wordpress Shortcode" button. Copy this code and you can publish it on wordpress!

Note: If youtube/vimeo is not working properly for you, please copy the iframe code from the original source, as iframe code does work with wordpress. Any youtube/vimeo issues should be resolved shortly!

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Best, Mason

Hi there,
We apologize for the length of time involving this matter and truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Our development team is still looking into making the widget work properly for Lockerz and it will hopefully be back in the settings page soon (http://lockerz.com/settings).
If you currently have a blog hosted on wordpress.com and would like to change collections or even place the widget on your site, I have a special workaround for you in the time being, however it is limited to one type of widget style:
1) From the WordPress admin page, go to the widgets panel and open the options for the Vodpod Widget
2) Paste this code in the box: [theme=social lcid=###### widgetType=standard]
3) Replace the ###### with your collection ID. You can find this number by going to a collection detail page and copying the number after the /c/ in the url. For example, my "A Capella" collection is located here: http://lockerz.com/c/3597765 -- the number you would paste in the box is 3597765
If you currently have a widget on your page and would like to change the order of your videos, please view this FAQ to do so: http://support.lockerz.com/entries/21261217-where-are-my-videos-and-how-do-i-organize-them
If you have a self-hosted wordpress account, or any other blog/website and you wish to have the widget, unfortunately you will have to wait until we get the widget back in the settings page. Keep your eyes peeled!
Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
Best,
Mason

to the lockerz account

the rest of the videos cant be seen online onm the sidebar and of you click the links
for visitors to follow my account or see the rest of the videos it goes to a wordpress "whoops what your looking for its not here" page

if i go to my widget control panel to edit the widget code to try to cahnge it for the old one..any vodpod link now goes to a shiny spaceman lockerz 404 error page like

The so-called WordPress shortcode it gives me just creates a big white space. That's assuming, of course, that (a) it recognizes and picks up the video I want and (b) gives me a WordPress shortcode. What a shame. Vodpod was a great tool.

I was wondering the same thing. Lockerz has done a terrible job of transitioning, and a terrible job of even explaining what the heck it is. Oh, by the way (in case you're wondering) -- those of you who built of Vodpod followers (I had over 1,500) -- lockerz did inform me that they will not transfer over. They must follow you again over at lockerz. Good luck with that. The site doesn't even work, so why would followers follow anyone there. Lockerz is a disaster right out of the block.

The Vodpod widget will still display and videos will play. However, you won't be able to add or remove any videos until the Lockerz widget is launched (coming soon!).
-----------------------------------------------------
...6 months and counting. I guess VodPod widget users may be awaiting a post from WordPress on the "new" Lockerz video widget that replaces the-now-static VodPod widget.
