We have recently prepared a WordPress plugin which will make it easier to embed a presentation on your WordPress blogs.
After you install and activate this plugin, you won’t have to copy and and paste the embed code. The only thing required will be putting the link to the presentation in your post. This will automatically fetch the slideshow player from SlideShare and show it on your blog.
The plugin uses oEmbed protocol to fetch the embed content from SlideShare.
The plugin is hosted on WordPress Plugin Repository: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshare-oembed-for-wordpress/
How to install the plugin :
Using WordPress Backend
- Search for ‘SlideShare Embeds’
- Install the plugin and activate it.
Manually
- Download the plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshare-oembed-for-wordpress/
- Extract the zipped file
- Upload oembed-slideshare.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- It will enable you to post a SlideShare slideshow link to your blog and automatically replace it with the slideshow.
