  Greetings, I am trying to use a Vimeo widget on a page, and when I cut and past the HTML from Vimeo into the text editor, and switch to the visual tab I am not getting the widget. When I go back to the text tab, the HTML has been sort of reformatted? What gives, am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Dave Berry

  Here is the HTML widget:
  <style id=”badge-styles”>
  /* You can modify these CSS styles */
  .vimeoBadge { margin: 0; padding: 0; font: normal 11px verdana,sans-serif; }
  .vimeoBadge img { border: 0; }
  .vimeoBadge a, .vimeoBadge a:link, .vimeoBadge a:visited, .vimeoBadge a:active { color: #3A75C4; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; }
  .vimeoBadge a:hover { color:#00CCFF; }
  .vimeoBadge #vimeo_badge_logo { margin-top:10px; width: 57px; height: 16px; }
  .vimeoBadge .credit { font: normal 11px verdana,sans-serif; }
  .vimeoBadge .clip { padding:0; float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0; line-height:0; }
  .vimeoBadge.vertical .clip { float: none; }
  .vimeoBadge .caption { font: normal 11px verdana,sans-serif; overflow:hidden; width: auto; height: 30px; }
  .vimeoBadge .clear { display: block; clear: both; visibility: hidden; }
  .vimeoBadge .s160 { width: 160px; } .vimeoBadge .s80 { width: 80px; } .vimeoBadge .s100 { width: 100px; } .vimeoBadge .s200 { width: 200px; }
  </style><div id=”badge”>
  <div class=”vimeoBadge horizontal”>
  <script src=”https://vimeo.com/dberry/badgeo/?script=1&badge_layout=horizontal&badge_quantity=9&badge_size=160&badge_stream=album&show_titles=no&badge_album=2582241&badge_channel=162606&badge_group=6083″></script>
  </div>
  </div>

  Hi Dave,

  Some code is stripped out of WordPress.com for security reasons:
  Code

  As a workaround, you can use an Image Widget or Text Widget to display an image in your sidebar and link it to your Vimeo profile.

  Also, these badges that they offer should work just fine in a text widget:

  Thanks for the reply!
  Hmmm, actually the Vimeo widget was “Montage” which displays a group of thumbnail movies on a page:
  https://vimeo.com/tools/widget/montage

  So, I guess I can assume that the HTML used in this widget isn’t allowable by WordPress? Darn!
  Thanks, Dave B

  Hi Dave – Yep, that won’t work with our system. :(
