Embedding Vimeo Error! Help a Novice!

    Am working on a heavily customized WordPress site, not of my own designing or coding/ I am Web Dev illiterate 🙁

    We have a “Videos” tab that asks for a Youtube embed code. I can embed Youtube videos just fine but am having trouble with embedding Vimeo videos. When I insert the embed link into the first box, the Vimeo video will display in the bottom right of the screen AND a blank Youtube video will appear in the center of the screen where the Vimeo video should be.

    How do I get rid of the blank Youtube video (is black, has no time on it, etc) so that the Vimeo video goes where it should?

    Thanks so, so much in advance!

    Hi dberman,

    I’m not sure as I don’t know what theme you’re using, or what plugin you may be using to enable said functionality. From the sounds of it it seems like however this embed code gets placed on the page it only supports YouTube videos.

    So when you place a vimeo link into the box, it uses that link and structures the iframe code as if it were a YouTube video.

    Examples of each embed code:

    Vimeo
    <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/82426597" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/82426597">Snakadaktal - Fall Underneath</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/dimitribasil">Dimitri Basil</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

    YouTube

    <iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" allowfullscreen frameborder="0">
</iframe>

    Again, this could all be speculation as I don’t have access to your theme or even a link to your site. But I hope this points you in the right direction.

    Evan
