Unfortunately it did not work. It seems no matter how simple an expression I write, the “to_image_src” filter is not outputting anything. I can swap out the filter to “raw” and get a post ID, but that is as far as the forward progress seems to go.

Any other thoughts on what might be causing the filter to not work?

Thanks for the quick response. The embed code will work in the main content field using the wrapper class example you provided.

I plugged in both the suggestions you gave with the same results – using the standard vimeo video URL, a placeholder will load on the page at the specified size, but the browser will automatically launch a new window or redirect the current window to the link specified in the embed code (the video never loads on the wordpress page in the placeholder).

One note that may be relevant: Vimeo provides html to embed an iframe in the page for any video. The src="" URL contained within their embed chunk is formatted like so: player.vimeo.com/video/theVideoNumber. Using the second of your suggestions, I can get a video to load in Safari using this URL rather than the standard video URL (e.g. vimeo.com/TheVideoNumber) but FF does not display anything.

I was under the impression that the [embed] shortcode for WP would be able to embed the video content from the standard video URL from any number of services, which is why I was attempting to use it.

Thoughts?

Thanks again.
