  I used to be able to paste a video URL from Vimeo to my wordpress blog. Now it doesn’t work. I tried unlinking the URL, still doesn’t work. I tried embedding, but that doesn’t work either… some of the embed code shows up onscreen along with the video.

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

  Hi there,

  Were you able to figure this out? I see that you were able to embed a Vimeo video in this post:

  I was looking at your recent draft post and I see that there are p tags surrounding your Vimeo video link. In order for it to embed, please remove those tags in the Text Editor.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hi! I didn’t see any p tags in my text, but I added some tags and then deleted them and then it worked! So… thanks!
