Hi,

I wanted my animation to show up in a Wordpress post. So I published the animation and uploaded all the files onto my Wordpress.

I used HTML embed code to view the animation within the post. Now, the preview works perfectly, but when I publish the post, I see an empty white space instead of the animation. Can you please tell me what it is that I am doing wrong? Or if not then, what I need to do to make it work?

Thanks,

RC

Can you send a link to the post with your embedded animation?
Also, can you send us your orginial GWD file which had the animation too.
thanks

Hi Naresh,

I can't publish the file as yet as it is a part of a company project. I am sending you the published folder along with the HTML project file in this zipped archive.

The project file is titled Dussehra Finale.html

Also, I found that I can't use HTML embed code (flash) to display the animation because then it won't dynamically resize itself.

So finally, here's what I want to do: I want to display this animation in a blog post. The canvas size is 590x594px. And I don't want to use flash or any such related plugin or embed code for it.

Thanks!

Revant,

First off, that is One.Cool.Animation!
The GWD team likes it.

Second, we are not sure about why this content is not working within Wordpress.

A sample Googling tells us that there are techniques to get custom HTML into wordpress.
It does seem that embedding custom JS into wordpress requires a plugin.

Do any of these techniques mentioned in the links help?

Hi,

Thanks! Glad you guys liked it! :)

I used <iframe></iframe> to publish the animation on the site. It will be up tomorrow. However, when I tested it out today, I found that while the animation ran perfectly on a computer, it did not dynamically resize itself on an iPhone.

Any leads?

Best,
RC

Is it possible to track metrics from the iFrame (ie Click Throughs, Exits etc)?

Hi Mark,

Big thanks for the add! Looks great!

Just one favour though. Could you edit the post to say 'Blueant Digital Intelligence' instead of 'Revant Chopra' and tag them (url: https://www.facebook.com/BlueAntDigital)?

Thanks,

Revant
