    I am having a problem embedding a vimeo video into a portfolio item. I have changed settings on vimeo and repasted the embed code to no avail. I have deleted the video on vimeo and reuploaded video and repasted the embed code to no avail. What I see on my website is the iframe url link but no video. Thank you.

    Hey hollyp3!

    Can you please show us an example, so we can get a look what is visible, when you paste the vimeo video link?

    Thanks a lot

    Cheers!

    Hi Basilis,

    I thought it might be a problem that Rap another participant figured out which is his reply #423622.
    He says:

    WordPress caches the video player on the first hit, so if the access settings for the video was wrong, then it won’t display the video player even though you fix the video access settings afterwards.

    [I know that the first time I tried to embed a vimeo video, the settings were incorrectly set to password protected, so I am thinking that this is what needs to be fixed in the tables.]
    So I followed his instructions to go into the SQL database, going in through phpMyAdmin. I got as far as the SQL query and it couldn’t find the cached embedded video players. I received this answer:

    SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key like ‘%_oembed%’ LIMIT 0, 25
    MySQL said:
    #1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘%_oembed%’ LIMIT 0, 25’ at line 1

    Do you know what a correct SQL syntax would be to find the embedded player so I could fix?
    Thank you. Holly

    Hi Rikard,
    I have solved my problem. It was my mistake because I was pasting the embed code into the video url box, which did not work. When I pasted the plain vimeo url in “https://vimeo.com/#######”, not embed code, the video shows up just fine. I do want to find out how to get rid of the black borders around the video though. If you have any advice for the borders, that would be great.
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Hi,

    Glad you figured that out. We tried to access the site but we can’t get pass the maintenance mode even if we click the “Dashboard” text.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
