  Hello,
  I’m trying to embed a video from vimeo.com.
  When I look at a preview of the post the video is there, but it shows a link when I publish it

  I’ve followed these guidelines exactly and as I said it’s working fine in the ‘preview’ screen, but the video isn’t visible once I publish.

  Which post should have the video on it?

  Hi there,

  It should appear just fine now.

  If this occurs again, try adding an extra line before and after the URL, or just send us a note.

  Thanks for that.
  I’ve just tried adding a new video to It’s Arts Week (Again!) and I’m having the same problem.

  You set the URL to align left, which broke the embed.

  The URL needs to be pasted directly into the post, with no alterations made to it.

  I fixed it up, so it should be working fine now.
