Troubleshooting

• Make sure the Dailymotion link is not hyperlinked. If the URL is shown in your theme’s link color (as the second line in the screenshot below), then it is hyperlinked. Simply click URL and click the “Remove” icon.
  
  Once the URL is unlinked, you will see the link text in black.
• Make sure to place the Dailymotion URL or shortcode on its own line. This means there should be no character or whitespace before or after the URL/shortcode.
