  Hello!
  For the last few months I’ve stopped being able to embed Vimeo videos on my blog. I paste the code in and then it disappears when I preview-will not post?
  Thanks :)
  Best,
  Danielle

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

  Please paste the video url (not the code) on your post. I did that, and magically WordPress display the video embedded (without code).

  From the support docs:

  Make sure the Vimeo link is not hyperlinked. If the URL is shown in your theme’s link color (as the second line in the screenshot below), then it is hyperlinked. Simply select the whole URL and click the “Unlink” icon on your Visual Editor toolbar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vimeo/#troubleshooting
