How can I resolve the 404 error when adding a Vimeo URL to my video lightbox in Webflow?
To resolve the 404 error when adding a Vimeo URL to your video lightbox in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Verify the Vimeo URL: Make sure the Vimeo URL you are using is correct and points to an existing video. Check for any typos or extra characters in the URL.
Replace temporary Vimeo URL: Webflow generates a temporary Vimeo URL for preview purposes. However, this temporary URL will result in a 404 error when published. Replace the temporary URL with the permanent Vimeo URL.
Check video privacy settings: Make sure that the Vimeo video you are embedding has the appropriate privacy settings. If the video is set to private, it will result in a 404 error when accessed from your Webflow site. Change the privacy settings to public or password-protected if needed.
Use the correct embedding code: Webflow's video lightbox feature uses a specific embedding code for Vimeo videos. Make sure you're using the correct code provided by Webflow to embed your video. You can find this code in the video's settings on the Vimeo website or within the Webflow editor.
Update the lightbox settings: In the Webflow editor, select the video element or the lightbox wrapper that contains the video URL. Double-check that the Vimeo URL is correctly entered in the lightbox settings. If necessary, remove any trailing spaces or unnecessary characters that may be causing the 404 error.
Republish and retest: After making the necessary changes, save your project and publish it to the web. Open your site in a browser and test the video lightbox to ensure the 404 error is resolved.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 404 error when adding a Vimeo URL to your video lightbox in Webflow.
