 * Hi,
 * The WP embed shortcode [pipe recorder 1] is not working anymore.
 * I can embed using the emed code from account page but this does not add the video
   to the list of videos in my wp admin area.
 * Look forward to hearing from you.
 * Thanks

 * Hi
    Did you resolve your shortcode problem? I’m having the same.

 * This what i did.
 * 1 – Deactivated all plugins except Pipe. Tested Pipe (still didn’t work)
    2 –
   Deactivated and uninstalled Pipe 3 – Re–installed first version of Pipe wp plugin&
   connected it to my Pipe account (still did not work) 4 – Updated Pipe plugin 
   to latest version (via WordPress update) 5 – Changed shortcode to include _ underscore(
   Pipe embedded player now visible) 6 – Did a test recording (worked) 7 – Re–activated
   all other plugins (Pipe still worked)
 * I also cleared all cahces (on website and browser) and (depending on your setup)
   purged Varnish.
 * I then tested in different browsers logged out to make sure it worked.
 * I have found that if you de-activate the plugin – then re-activate it doesn’t
   save my account hash.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Thanks.
 * I got it to work.
 * Until you can categorise/add tags to the videos it’s fairly useless to me right
   now. I need to be able to differentiate different videos, not simply the times
   they were taken.
 * That’s in the pipeline apparently.
