Use a shortcode instead. For example:
[slideshare id=270352617&doc=test-lorem-ipsum-file-this-is-a-test&w=500]
Steps to reproduce
What you expected to happen
The content should be embedded.
What actually happened
This error message appeared instead:
Sorry, this content could not be embedded.
Impact
All
Available workarounds?
Yes, easy to implement
Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)
Simple, Atomic
Logs or notes
In simple sites, the error message doesn't appear, but the content also fails to embed. The Slideshare URL is simply added as text in a paragraph, with no error messages. The shortcode workaround works for both Atomic and simple sites.
