  A link consistently shows up at a different video. I checked and rechecked the link and the details. The link in question is:
  vimeo.com/315070476

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy,

  All you need to do is change where the link is pointing, as there seems to be a typo.

  The link points to: 31507076
  instead of 315070476.

  If you click on the link in the editor, click the little pencil icon to edit the url, and add in the missing “4”, that should fix the problem.

  I checked the typo. It has been corrected much before but shows the same issue. Wish could upload the screen shots. Thanks for your reply. Kind of you. :-)

  Hello,

  You can use the LightShot Chrome or Firefox extension so you can post the screenshots.

  Thanks. Using Firefox now Beta version. Should I post it to Facebook and try and get the link to that here? Unable to find other routes. Although I am on a free version of WordPress. Started today!

  Is it possible you forgot to hit update after correcting the typo (it occurs to me because I do this sometimes)?

  So is the typo reverting back after you fix it? In other words, what happens after you hit update and then reload?

  Hi! Thank you so much. I just deleted that post because my phone must have saved it in some way and possibly did not recognize the change!
  Thank you so very much for your kind help though.

  Hello there, Firefox has a built in screenshot utility and you can choose to upload your screenshot directly to Firefox and then share the link.

  However, it seems you’ve since deleted the post where you were having the issue with the vimeo link /2019/03/05/where-to-go/ as well as the connected FB link. When I checked the vimeo links earlier, I also saw the typo that @metaman0 described in his first reply to you. If you’d like our help to further troubleshoot this issue, we’d need you to publish the post again.

  FWIW – Once a post has been published and the email notification sent to users, it’s not possible to resend the email. Now that you’ve deleted that post, when your subscribers click on the email, they’ll end up on a 404 – Not Found page on your site.

  Yes, I guess it’s my day to hang a big “REFRESH FIRST BEFORE HITTING REPLY” notice on my monitor. :)

  But thank you for clarifying that you used your phone to create the post. For future reference, here’s how you can embed vimeo videos in your posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vimeo/

  Cheers!
