  Is there a problem with loading videos through Vimeo onto the website. I have loaded them in the past but have been working on the last 6 days to load them both through Vimeo (all I end up with is a link) and through WordPress where the videos don’t work after they are loaded. I have been working with Vimeo on this but so far with no luck. Help

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

  Can you show me the URL for a post where you are seeing this issue? I’ll be happy to look into it.

  I have posted a test site at
  http://pondblog2011.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=11721&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2
  that contains Vimeo code but is not showing up except for the links which work and take you back to Vimeo

  So what you need to do is just to copy/paste the URL of the video you wish to post. Here’s a screenshot of what I am talking about:

  

  That will give you this (another screenshot):

  

  Does that make sense?

  I was working with both you (WordPress) and Vimeo at the same time in case it was one or the other and you both came up with the same solution. The only difference was that Jennifer added an http:// into the actual code and that also did the trick but it was more or less what you had suggested. I’m very grateful for the help and the solution to the problem. Once again, WordPress has come through for me.
  Thanks.

  Great to hear!

  Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. Otherwise, thanks for using WordPress.
