Again in 2017, I printed an article explaining how Vimeography (a free & paid plugin for WordPress) was overcoming two main deficiencies in Vimeo Professional’s Portfolios. Flash ahead eight years to 2025; Vimeo nonetheless has the identical admitted deficiencies, and Vimeography continues to be a superb resolution to alleviate the 2 deficiencies whereas embedding your Vimeo Professional video Portfolios in your personal WordPress web site, both on TecnoTur.LLC or elsewhere. About three weeks in the past, we acquired fairly a scare by way of an automated message from WordPress stating that a few of Vimeography’s add-on (paid) plugins had been «deserted». Nonetheless, we have been alleviated after listening to excellent news from the Vimeography builders.
Recap of Vimeo Professional Portfolio deficiencies
As indicated in my 2017 article, the Portfolio supplied by Vimeo Professional has essential deficiencies when with your personal area or subdomain. To recap:
- Vimeo Professional doesn’t provide SSL for HTTPS when utilizing your personal area or subdomain, which is one thing we require since 2014 (11 years in the past). Not having HTTPS is horrible for web optimization and locations an embarrassing warning in most trendy browsers.
- Vimeo Professional doesn’t enable us to add our personal favicon, as an alternative displaying the Vimeo favicon.
These two deficiencies nonetheless exist in 2025. Happily, Vimeography (a free and paid plugin for WordPress) continues to unravel this drawback and is thankfully nonetheless a viable resolution, regardless of a current false alarm which I’ll cowl later on this article.
