  I’m new to WordPress BUT I have already viewed many help topic threads on this issue and I’ve followed others’ instructions to no avail.

  This is what I entered into my most recent post:
  [vimeo http://vimeo.com/13504984%5D

  To embed into http://dadarren.wordpress.com

  As of tonight (october 24) nothing shows up at all when viewing my blog. When I go to edit the entry, [vimeo http://vimeo.com/13504984%5D shows up. But when I publish? Nothing.

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

  It works for me just fine.

  Delete the code, and when you enter it, make sure you are in the HTML tab. Putting it into the visual tab is sort of hit and miss.

  Working just fine for me also. Did you insert the short code while in HTML view ? via the editor

  Wonderful. Thanks thesacredpath & slikbonez. I wasn’t entering it in the “HTML” tab. Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  @dadarren, you SHOULD be able to enter it in the visual editor and the editor pick it up, but that is really hit or miss as I said. My procedure now is any short code gets entered into the HTML tab since that always seems to work.

  please could you help me too ? I’m also new to WordPress. I just have the free version, does that make a difference ?

  I’d like to post this Vimeo link http://vimeo.com/10785679 on to my blog http://heidiannemorris.wordpress.com/

  this is the embed code from the clip

  <iframe src=”http://player.vimeo.com/video/10785679″ width=”400″ height=”225″ frameborder=”0″></iframe><p>RUNNERS TEASER from Jane Hodge on Vimeo.</p>

  I’ve read all the post and still i cannot get it to work? I’m using Google Chrome and have cleared my browsing data.

  Many thanks Heidi

  Please follow the instructions for using the vimeo shortcode in the HTML editor. Do not use the embed code.

  The vimeo short code isn’t working for me. I am following the directions and inserting the code in the HTML editor. I have also tried resetting my browser (both Safari and Firefox) and all that. Nothing. Any other ideas as to what I’m missing?
