# How to Create WordPress Vimeo Video Gallery?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Media Listing block creates a Vimeo video gallery in WordPress by selecting Videos in the Type section and choosing a listing style and layout from the Layout tab.
- Vimeo Id field accepts the Vimeo video id, and Upload Image adds an overlay image so the thumbnail becomes clickable.
- Box Link toggle under the Extra Options tab makes the entire thumbnail clickable, while Force Custom URL stays off and +Add content adds multiple Vimeo videos to create a gallery.

Vimeo is where a lot of client and showreel work lives, and one embed per page buries it.

The Media Listing block collects those videos into a single gallery, each item identified by its Vimeo video ID.

*For every Media Listing setting in one place, see the [Media Listing block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-media-listing-in-wordpress/).*

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — the Media Listing block is part of Nexter Blocks Pro.- **Block to enable:** Media Listing, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard.- **Your video IDs:** the number at the end of a Vimeo URL, for example *87591302* in *vimeo.com/87591302*.

## Steps

- Add the **Media Listing** block to your page and click **Design from Scratch**.

- In the **Layout** panel, set **Type** to **Videos**.

- Open the **Content** panel and click **+ Add Item** for each video.

- Set **Source** to **Vimeo**.

- Paste the number from the Vimeo URL into **Vimeo ID**.

- Add a **Title** and a thumbnail **Image**, set your **Layout** and **Columns**, then publish.

## Finding the Video ID

| Vimeo URL | The ID to paste |
| --------- | --------------- |
| vimeo.com/87591302 | 87591302 |
| player.vimeo.com/video/87591302 | 87591302 |
| vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/87591302 | 87591302 |

## How It Behaves

- Each item becomes a Vimeo address built from the number you paste.- Nothing loads from Vimeo until a visitor plays a video.- Source is per item, so Vimeo, YouTube and self hosted videos can sit in the same gallery.- The tile uses the thumbnail image you choose rather than the one stored on Vimeo.

## Limitations

- **Pro only.**- Videos are added one at a time, with no way to import a whole Vimeo showcase.- Only the numeric ID works. A full URL in the field gives a broken embed.- Videos set to private or restricted by domain on Vimeo will not play in the gallery.

## Troubleshooting

### The video does not play

Check that **Vimeo ID** holds only the number. Also open the video on Vimeo and check its privacy settings allow embedding on other sites.

### The tile is blank

Set a thumbnail **Image** on the item. Vimeo thumbnails are not pulled in automatically.
