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.
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.
