Trouble with embed video from vimeo

  • Hi, I tried checking for earlier posts on this, but all I’m getting is people who don’t know about using the “text” space instead of “visual” to paste their embed video links.
    So basically yesterday I managed to post a video on my front page (https://thais-breton.com) but had to delete it. Now I’m doing the exact same thing as when it worked earlier, but it isn’t showing up on the page! You can see there is a post there (“posted on 16 Dec”, but no video despite the embed link having been pasted in my post’s text.

    As a side note, I’m also trying to get rid of “posted on…/date” whenever I want to add something to my pages.
    And trying to get rid of the names of my pages also appearing on the pages themselves. Eg: on the contact page, the word CONTACT re-appears at the top of the page under the menu.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Hi there!

    To be clear: pasting the link directly in the visual editor is not working? There are troubleshooting tips at the bottom of this page on embedding content from Vimeo that might help you out.

    On to your second and third question:

    Adding this bit of CSS to your child theme will hide the post entry meta data for you (Posted On):

    .entry-meta {
display:none;
}

    And this would hide the page titles:

    .entry-header {
display:none
}

    Alternately, there are plugins that you can use to easily add custom CSS. ??

    Best of luck!

    Hi Melissa,

    Thank you so much! Your codes worked when I pasted them in a simple custom CSS plugin.

    None of the troubleshoots from your link corresponded to my problem, but I went on Godaddy chat support and the guy made me post my link directly on my page rather than in a post, and this worked!
    Still curious as to why it’s not appearing in posts, but since I won’t be needing to “post” anything other than my pages’ contents, it’s not a problem for me.

    Thank you again
    Have a nice day!
