 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to open a Vimeo Showcase using the Fancybox iframe tag, but it doesn’t
   appear to work. I was able to make it work on another site a couple years ago.
   Is this no longer possible?

 * Hi, how does a Vimeo showcase work exactly? Do you have a specific share URL?

 * Thanks for the reply. Vimeo Showcases (formerly Albums) are custom gallery web
   pages hosted on Vimeo. I am trying to open my Showcase inside a Fancybox iframe
   to make it appear as if it is part of my site, and not an external link.
 * Here is my Showcase: [https://vimeo.com/showcase/6369949/](https://vimeo.com/showcase/6369949/)

 * OK, if you want to open the whole page (not one video or a playlist) then you
   need to use the iFrame option. Make sure to activate that type on Settings > 
   Media then make a link to your showcase page (it can be a thumbnail image linked
   to that URL or it can be a simple text link) and then give that link the class`
   fancybox-iframe`.
 * Are you using the new Gutenberg editor (WP 5+) or are you running with the Classic
   Editor plugin?

 * I’m on WP5+ using the Infinite Theme editor.
 * Enabled iframe, used the link syntax in your support document. The box shows 
   up but the content shows up as “vimeo.com is blocked – vimeo.com refused to connect.”
 * Is this an issue with Vimeo?

 * Hmm, it could be that Vimeo does not allow a showcase page to be embedded. You
   can test this by simply creating an iframe straight on the page.
 * I’m not familiar with Infinite Theme editor but if there is a HTML or CODE element
   available (or a text block with HTML tab), then use that and insert:
 *     ```
       <iframe src="https://vimeo.com/showcase/6369949/" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
       ```
   
 * Then see if that does load the Showcase content…

 * If it does, then it might be that you need to add `nofancybox` to the class of
   the fancybox-iframe link. It should look like `class="nofancybox fancybox-iframe"`
   which looks a bit silly but it is meant to prevent the auto-detection script 
   to kick in and try to convert the URL to a regular Vimeo player URL.
 * If you can share a link to your web page, I can take a look and see if that is
   indeed happening.

 * It looks like a Vimeo limitation. I tried both your suggestions, still doesn’t
   work.

 * Indeed, that means it’s just not possible :/
 * Your only other option is to create a playlist and then get the share URL to 
   that to open up in FancyBox. Don’t use iframe in that case, just let the plugin
   autodetect it…
