Why won't the editor for the video link in Webflow save the changed Vimeo URL?
If you're experiencing difficulties saving a changed Vimeo URL in the video link editor in Webflow, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Below, I've outlined some common reasons and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:
Invalid URL format: Ensure that the Vimeo URL you are trying to save is in the correct format. The URL should start with "https://vimeo.com/" followed by the video ID. Double-check that you have copied the correct URL and that there are no extra characters or spaces included.
Embed code instead of URL: Webflow's video link editor supports direct Vimeo URLs, not embed codes. Make sure you are entering the URL for the video, not the entire HTML embed code. If you have copied the embed code, try obtaining the direct URL for the video from Vimeo and using that instead.
Connection or browser issues: Temporary connectivity issues or problems with your browser can sometimes interfere with saving changes in Webflow. To rule out this possibility, try refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser. Additionally, check your internet connection to ensure it is stable.
Editor limitations: Webflow's editor has some limitations when it comes to certain fields, and it's possible that there may be restrictions on editing Vimeo URLs directly within the CMS editor. It's worth double-checking this possibility by contacting Webflow support or referring to their documentation for any known limitations or specific requirements for editing video links.
System or account-specific issues: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that the problem could be specific to your system or Webflow account. In this case, it would be best to reach out to Webflow's support team directly for personalized assistance.
Overall, verifying the URL format, ensuring you're using a direct Vimeo URL, troubleshooting browser or connection issues, and considering any limitations in Webflow's editor should help you address the problem of not being able to save a changed Vimeo URL in Webflow.
