You should actually post this question in the plugins subforum. That’s where plugin authors and community members will check for support questions about their plugins, so you’ll have a lot better luck with finding someone who knows the answer to your question there. Make sure to select the specific plugin you’re asking about, so people can find it easily. And good luck!

Looks like this got moved so now I look like an idiot XD

It sounds like some of the stuff you want to do is supported by WordPress multisite (which I have very little experience with). It definitely supports different themes, and different menus, and I believe that they can share the same userbase. However, I don’t know whether or not multisite blogs can show posts from other blogs.

You might want to check out the Multisite subforum and ask some people who are knowledgeable about multisite whether it is the ideal solution for you.

Here’s the markup I used which seems to work great:

<div style="text-align:center;">
https://vimeo.com/28501488
</div>

Putting the URL by itself on its own line is what makes oEmbed work its magic. This: <div style="text-align:center;">https://vimeo.com/28501488</div> doesn’t work.

First of all, you can’t echo PHP code and then expect PHP to parse it again after it’s been echoed ?? Also, it’s not a good idea to edit plugins. The next time the plugin updates, it will overwrite your changes, and you’ll be back to square one.

I usually just hard-code these meta tags into the header, rather than using a plug-in. The code you posted should work just fine if you put it in the header of your theme, rather than trying to echo it out.

Like I said earlier, oEmbed support will automatically embed the video provided you do not surround it in any markup (<p> or <b> or whatever). If you take a look at the HTML source, it looks like all of those links are surrounded by <p style="text-align: center;"> and </p> tags. If you want to center the videos, consider wrapping them in a <div> instead. You could even use a plugin like this one: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/oembed-styling/.

To make the grid 4 wide, you can just change the width of your .wrapper class on line 63 of your CSS file to 880px. However, changing the width of everything else in that theme is going to require a pretty thorough rewrite. The page and post templates especially are going to require a lot of tweaking, repositioning and possible removing content. Basically, you probably want to go with a different theme unless you’re willing to spend several hours modifying this one.

Andy, the very first thing that you’re doing is failing. You’ll notice that your page doesn’t even have a title. This means that the PHP interpreter is getting hung up on something before you define <title>Testing</title>. Because this is a production server, PHP is failing silently rather than showing you any errors. I would suggest that you set up a local mirror of your site so that you can do testing and view any errors that PHP might be throwing. If you’ve got a Windows PC, check out this guide. If you’re on a Mac, go here.

Yep, you just need to remove those [vimeo] tags completely and embedding should work like a charm. Here’s a very comprehensive article about doing find and replace directly in SQL. The entire “Dig Into WordPress” blog is a great resource for getting more out of WordPress.

Take a look at the wp_options table in your database at the entries under option_name for “siteurl” and “home”, and see whether they reflect the changes you made. If they don’t, you can change those manually to the desired root address.

Nope, you don’t need to worry about dependencies when you’re creating a theme. WordPress updates and plugins will never change the files inside your theme directory.

Can you please copy and paste the exact errors that you are getting when you try to access your site? This isn’t behavior that I would ever expect from a WordPress installation, even in a GoDaddy shared hosting environment. Do you have other scripts that you are running besides WordPress?

Have you run out of space so quickly because you have very limited hard drive space with the hosting company you’re with? If that’s the case, you can get very, very cheap hosting with high amounts of disk space from companies like bluehost. If you’re really running out of disk space trying to upload photos, your hosting provider is about 15 years behind the times, and you need to switch asap.

Those vimeo shortcodes aren’t actually necessary at all. I assume they’re a remnant from some old plug-in the site administrator was using that doesn’t function in the latest version of WordPress.

All you need to do to make the embed work is to remove the shortcodes. WordPress’ oEmbed support will automatically embed the video provided you do not surround it in any markup (<p> or <b> or whatever). The quickest way to do this would be a database query, if you’re comfortable with that. If you’re not, I can walk you through it.
