Disable Vimeo auto embedd or change it's parameters

Make sure that you’re using the embed shortcode correctly:

[embed width="250" height="92"]https://vimeo.com/140767141[/embed]

There really is no way to disable the oEmbed system, besides just sidestepping it with an iframe embed from Vimeo.

This is how Im using it:

[embed width="750" height="500"]https://vimeo.com/72437208[/embed]

Thanks for your attention!!

Ah, it’s because you’re aligning it.

Don’t add any alignment to the embed, add the embed in the Text editor tab just to be sure.

Here’s the same embed with no alignment: https://delta.jhuff.me/2016/02/04/vimeo-embed-shortcode/

Removed align, still getting the same size ??

Did it in the text editor tab,

Oh, it’s inside the div above it, which is all centered.

The embed shortcode needs to stand on its own, it won’t work properly if it’s inside of any other HTML elements.

No div :S

Well, that’s odd. I wonder if your theme is imposing its own styling in this case.

Do you still have the same problem if you temporarily switch to Twenty Sixteen?

Yes, did the test and still same.

I have to say then, I’m stumped.

I have your same exact embed shortcode, posted by itself, not inside any other HTML tags at https://delta.jhuff.me/2016/02/04/vimeo-embed-shortcode/

The content of that post is as follows:

Vivamus fermentum semper porta. Nunc diam velit, adipiscing ut tristique vitae, sagittis vel odio. Maecenas convallis ullamcorper ultricies. Curabitur ornare, ligula semper consectetur sagittis, nisi diam iaculis velit, id fringilla sem nunc vel mi. Nam dictum, odio nec pretium volutpat, arcu ante placerat erat, non tristique elit urna et turpis. Quisque mi metus, ornare sit amet fermentum et, tincidunt et orci. Fusce eget orci a orci congue vestibulum. Ut dolor diam, elementum et vestibulum eu, porttitor vel elit. Curabitur venenatis pulvinar tellus gravida ornare. Sed et erat faucibus nunc euismod ultricies ut id justo. Nullam cursus suscipit nisi, et ultrices justo sodales nec. Fusce venenatis facilisis lectus ac semper. Aliquam at massa ipsum. Quisque bibendum purus convallis nulla ultrices ultricies. Nullam aliquam, mi eu aliquam tincidunt, purus velit laoreet tortor, viverra pretium nisi quam vitae mi. Fusce vel volutpat elit. Nam sagittis nisi dui.

Can you try that on a test page in both your theme and Twenty Sixteen?

Well, the thing is I get this small sized look, EVEN in the text editor where posts are written :-S

So does not matter the theme I use, it looks like that even in the editor.

??

They I’ll just have to say I don’t know what’s happening, sorry.

This:

Works just fine for me in Twenty Sixteen: https://d.pr/i/1bCon/5SrARtQ6

If it’s not working for you in Twenty Sixteen, perhaps a plugin is conflicting. Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, then I’m afraid I’m out of ideas, since I can’t reproduce the issue myself.

James,

thank you very much for your kind attention.

I will try the plugins option and see what happens.

BEst regards and thanks ??

You’re welcome!
