    I am trying to add some vimeo videos as featured videos.

    The video neither shows on the post edit screen nor on the frontend? Please post one of the not-working vimeo video URLs so I can give it a try. The ones I try work just fine.

    Yeah, neither work :/ Sure, one of the links is this: https://vimeo.com/125809748

    And the strange thing is that their were working.
    I’ll try reinstall it again as well.

    Video works fine for me.. Do you get the video when you simply paste the url in the post content area and press enter?

    I don’t. Should I get something?

    Yeah, when I try with some youtube video it shows the video.

    Yes, you certainly should get a Vimeo instantly as soon as you paste the URL in the post area. If it does not work there some plugin is breaking the functionality. Try disabling the plugins and re-enabling them one by one to see which breaks this.

    It should work smoothly like this: https://goo.gl/n587CC

    I uploaded the older version, the one that was working in the past, and neither the old one is not working anymore.

    I see the point about the different plugins but the thing is, I was running it in a server. I had to do some changes in the site so we changed to another server to keep the original live. In the end, everything was working properly so I decided to put the new version live and when I brought it to the original server it stop working. What means I just uploaded the backup that was working, same plugins, same content, same everything.

    Any ideias about what this might be when I explain this way?

    YouTube and other video providers work fine you say? Does Vimeo work when you remove the FVP plugin? Does Vimeo work when using a fresh WordPress installation on the same server?

    Exactly, this damm’ vimeo is the only one who is pissing me off and it’s the one I need most.

    Do you mean embedding the video without the fvp? If you do, it’s not actually working as well. Actually it doesn’t work with vimeo or any other platform like youtube or whatever.

    So this is certainly no problem triggered by the FVP plugin. If no video provider at all is working and the problem just started after moving to a different server I would suspect it to be a bad PHP configuration which disallows requests to foreign servers. Pasting the URL results in a request to the Vimeo server which then return the video embed code – the request to Vimeo is probably what is forbidden.

    Thats it for me. You should probably contact your hosting provider or ask for help regarding video embeds in the general WordPress support forum.

    I know. Actually your plugin make it possible to run other videos, like youtube videos.
    And everything was working. In this very same server actually.

    Just so you know, what I had to do was only create a few more pages, so I haven’t even touched the main code. And the videos were working in this server before restoring the new backup.

    No other ideas what it could be?

    PS – I really appreciate the support you are giving to a free plugin.
