    This is an issue that comes up when you use the custom home page feature of Page Builder and you don’t have any posts. Strange I know, but this is just a side effect of the WordPress oEmbed class that Page Builder uses.

    There are 3 possible solutions.

    1) Create a single blog post.
    2) Convert your custom home page into a standard page https://siteorigin.com/thread/can-convert-themes-custom-home-page-regular-page/
    3) Use a standard text widget and use the video embed code from YouTube or Vimeo.

    Hi There

    I have had a similar problem to the above and don’t really understand No 2 solution. I have a video on a post but when I used the URL link to that post, as above it just appears as a text link, no embedded video.

    So I used option 3 here:-

    However my client wants the video to open in a window like the one on this site does:-

    http://www.iseh.co.uk/

    Do you know how I can achieve that?

    The string I have to show the video is:-

    <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/101600792?title=1&byline=1&portrait=1&autoplay=0" width="270" height="175" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

    Cheers

    Steve B
