Video Block Not Showing in Site, but does on backend

Would you please give us a link to exactly where we should see the video?

Sure…I think I still had my coming soon up.

The page is https://www.writteninthestarz.net

The video should appear at the very bottom of the sample page, after the main text, before the search bar and footer information. However there is just a blank space where the video should be.

Also, just to be sure…I installed the health check plugin. With all plugins disable it was fine. As soon as I enabled JetPack…the video disappeared again.

Which version of Jetpack are you running?

Looking at his source code, the jetpack.css is jetpack.css?ver=7.1.1.

I also noticed that Vimeo is complaining that it’s not a Vimeo video:

<figure class="wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<!-- vimeo error: not a vimeo video -->
</div></figure>

Wonder if something is modifying the URL before sending it to Vimeo and it breaks?

What parts of Jetpack do you have enabled? I have Stats, Akismet, Sharing, and Comment Subscribing enabled and things seem fine. Although, my Jetpack Dashboard is blank.. but that could be my browser config.

Yes, double checked and it is JetPack version 7.1.1. I have whatever features come on when you first install. I haven’t changed anything. I just started building this site yesterday.

Update. I appoligize…I was wrong about one thing. I switched it to a youTube Video and the youTube works fine.

I’m still having trouble with my Vimeo videos. I tried several different ones and none of the Vimeo videos work.

Some further testing.

Here is the source code with JetPack activated.

<figure class=”wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio”><div class=”wp-block-embed__wrapper”>
<!– vimeo error: not a vimeo video –>
</div></figure>
</div><!– .entry-content –>

Then…then only thing I did was deactivate JetPack and problem was solved. Here is the code for that.

<figure class=”wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio”><div class=”wp-block-embed__wrapper”>
<iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/150464361?dnt=1&app_id=122963&#8243; width=”640″ height=”360″ frameborder=”0″ title=”Gary Powell, Certified Health Coach, Take Shape For Life” allow=”autoplay; fullscreen” allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>
</div><!– .entry-content –>

I reactivated the JetPack plugin and it still seemed to be fine. Until I setup Jetpack then the problem returned.

I had no trouble under WordPress 5.1.1 with Jetpack 7.1.1 active: https://cld.wthms.co/Rtav0r

Make sure that you are using the Vimeo block: https://cld.wthms.co/zqY0Zt

And simply pasting in the video’s URL: https://cld.wthms.co/r8uRp8

Ok..so I was using just a regular video block.

However, I put another one below the first and I made sure it was a Vimeo block. The link is directly pasted in from Vimeo. And that one is giving me the same result.

Also, I just tried removing the original, and leaving just the Vimeo block and I still get the same result.

Does it work if you deactivate _all_ plugins?

If not, does it work with all plugins deactivated under the Twenty Nineteen?

It definitely works for me, so it’s neither WordPress nor Jetpack. It has to be conflict elsewhere.

Ok…think I found a weird solution. Getting ready to post some screen shots.

So…I noticed your link in your screen shot was different than my Vimeo link when I copy the link from my video.

When I click to copy my link in my vimeo account here.

It copies this link here.

Thats the link I was using. However I noticed your’s was different, and I wasn’t sure where the one you were using was coming from. So back in my Vimeo account…I realized the link in the address bar was different than the one when you copy it directly from the video. That was the link you had. It’s here.

When I use that link for the video it works. Not sure why this would matter. Whenever you copy from the video share link it provides the other one that doesn’t work. You have to play the video and copy the link that is in the address bar I guess. That fixed my problem.

Also, I figured out if your video link is a private link through Vimeo it won’t work also. On a side note its weird that my original link that was different from yours works fine if I don’t have JetPack enabled.
