Last week, when Google launched Video Units as part of AdSense, I was excited to try them out. Then I attempted to post the code on my WordPress blog and the video did not display.

I later found out that the reason here was that WordPress applies a JavaScript remover filter to posts. So AdSense, which uses JavaScript, does not display correctly. This can be fixed by using a plugin called Script Enabler.

I’m sure there are plenty of others, but I mention this one, because it’s the one I’m using.

Thanks to loxly for sharing the plugin on Twitter.

Personally, I think Google ought to explain this fix in their AdSense FAQ or blog, or provide their own plugin for the WordPress bloggers out there.
