How to Embed a Vimeo Video on your wordpress.com blog

Wednesday January 7, 2009

This is not as simple as it seems. In the WordPress add video interface, there are no pointers on how to embed a Vimeo video specifically. Searching Vimeo support I stumbled across the solution, it’s really simple and goes as follows.

  1. Be sure to use the HTML text mode when writing your WordPress blog post
  2. Add the following text string where your video should appear: [vimeo 2073923] where the number is the ID of the video. So if the URL to the video on vimeo.com is http://vimeo.com/2740700, that is the number you would use.

Note: This works in later versions of the self-hosted WordPress blogging software as well.
