Hi,
I want to insert a flash logo into the header. That’s what I did:
In widgets >> Header I wrote this text:
<embed src="https://sites.google.com/site/cookinghive/Logo.swf"
quality="high" scale="exactfit" menu="false"
width="1000" height="350" swLiveConnect="false"
I also tried Kimili flash plugin.
The problem is, that I can’t see the animated swf logo, which should look like this:
https://sites.google.com/site/cookinghive/Logo.swf
What should I do?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Melina
This seems to work ok in a Text widget once the file is hosted in your media library. To make this happen you’ll need to first install the following child theme from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme:
https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/vantage-child-allow-flash-uploads.zip
Once activated you can then go to Media > Add New and upload your flash file. Once uploaded view the file in the library and grab it’s url from the right column url field.
Once that’s done use your embed code in a Text widget but with your own local url for the file:
You’d replace my url that starts with localhost, with your own location for the file.
Keep in mind that activating a child theme causes Appearance > Customizer and Appearance > Menu settings to reset. Test this all out before re-doing all those settings.

It worked. Thank you so much :)
Super, glad you were able to work through all that. Nicely done!
