WordPress Mu by default does not allow ‘embed’ tags in a post. This was done supposedly to mitigate possible security risks of allowing random blog users to embed code into the system.
However, this makes it annoying for admins running multiple WordPress sites with WordPress Mu, as opposed to running a open blog network like WordPress.com.
The following code added to wp-include/kses.php will allow the embed codes to work again:
Insert after the lines:
if (!CUSTOM_TAGS) {
$allowedposttags = array (
‘embed’ => array (
‘style’ => array (),
‘type’ => array (),
‘id’ => array (),
‘height’ => array (),
‘width’ => array (),
‘src’ => array ()),
‘object’ => array (
‘height’ => array (),
‘width’ => array ()),
‘param’ => array (
‘name’ => array (),
‘value’ => array ()),
