I embed using the vimeo embed code...now, here's the thing. I've done this on several other pages, same set up. they work fine....just this one page, no videos...(but they show up on the wishlist page where they originate- so it must be simplepress doing something?..)R

nothing what??

simplepress doesnt handle video embedding...  wp does...   and I asked how you embedded?  standard url?  dont know what an embed code is...  do you mean a short code?  some command betwee [ and ]?

if so, did you tell simple press to allow that shortcode on forum - options - content?

sorry... I use this (took out brackets since it would not allow iframe in this post:

iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/39223456?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe

 

Which was an issue when I first started using SP, but you guys helped out by doing something to fix it. Which it is fixed, just not on this one page. but no worries....I don't need it fixed....I was thinking about this last night, and decided to simply kill the links from wishlist pages that automatically loads whatever content is on those pagew into the forum (there is an option to do that) and simply direct those members to those pages to watch the videos on the WL page...the forum is now only used for posts and images....no videos...keep is simple, works for me....Rob

well, you cannot post an iframe... its a security risk if you allowed a user to put an iframe on your site - they could all sorts of cross scripting...

so we helped you to allow iframes?  was that Brandon?  if so, maybe he can remember what he did...

but if you are all set, then may not matter.... ;)

still, can you not just drop the url in?

http :// vimeo.com/39223456 (no spaces of course)

of course, its a warning here, but should work on your domain...

I suppose I could...I'd have to remove all the code, re- enter every post. Plus, they could send said link outside....You know, I went back in the forum, and voila! the videos are up...weird....very weird...I may just use the URL....while I have your attention, is there a way to get a post to "stick" to the top? Watch this short vid would ya? I need help....R
