I followed recent posts with the problem of embedding Vimeo videos , but it seemed that was “closed”.
I followed all the advises, e.g. trying firefox, html, vs. visual , but none of these are working.
When I copy the URL of the vimeo video: http://vimeo.com/4651674 It doesn’t want to show up in my blog.
Actually, not just this video.

Any ideas out there?

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

You can see that video on my test blog here: http://flippintestblog.wordpress.com/ .

Do not copy and paste from the support document for the basic code. Type in the basic code. I put the following in the HTML tab on a new post.

Thanks thesacredpath, this is what I’ve been doing but doesn’t show up. It should show up in the “preview” before it is “published” for public viewing right?
Are you using Safari?

Yes, I’m using Safari and it shows up in the preview for me.

If you want, do a temporary test post with the above code and publish it and then post back here so I can take a look.

I don’t see the code in the post at all. Open that post in the editor again and see if the code is still there.

Crazy, it finally showed up. I swear this I did the same thing I’ve done all morning.
Thanks so much for your help!

You’re welcome. It may remain a mystery why it worked this time and not the others.

Having trouble displaying http://vimeo.com/channels/hd#9078364 video on my blog. Is this because it’s HD or somfin’? Tried everything. Does it work for anybody else. Help.

@clockender you can’t embed channel videos from vimeo into your post you can only embed a single video link format. thats why it’s not working here is the FAQ Vimeo « Support — WordPress.com http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vimeo/

so the only way I can get vimeo to work is by going to the HTML tab on my post editor and manually typing

http://vimeo.com/VIDEONUMBER

what’s funny and actually retarded is that I can’t add centering to the text so that the video shows centered on screen.. if I do this the video will not show

also tried altering the video size so that it fits to page by using the W= & H= function and this also does not work!

any clues??
