apu, changing the thumbnail size in WP settings should be ok two. Thanks for answering others questions
You said you would like to have video titles. The problem with video titles is that they are not the same length and it ends up looking a big mess. That’s why I chose to have settings featuring either thumbs or titles.
13 December 2010 at 4:57 pm
Hi Fairweb,
well if i set thumnailsize to 200 , the thumbnail icons become blurry. Changing the code as mentioned will call a larger thumbnail from vimeo.
E.g:
gets a thumb with 100px width:
http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/603/389/60338916_100.jpg
gets a thumb with 200 px width:
http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/603/389/60338916_200.jpg
My questions about the titles was actually i would like to display them on top of the shadowbox / extra window – title lengh wouldn´t matter, i can adjust that with css.
tiltles in thumnails do works fine already. i just cant get the title value somehow …..
5 December 2011 at 4:27 pm
I had the same issue with the thumbnails being blurry. I searched the widget to see where it defines it.
In the fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 168 (though this might change in the future) there is pulls the small version of the thumbnail. “thumbnail_small” I changed it to “thumbnail_medium” and it pulled in a higher resolution thumbnail.
You may want to consider adding a code that checks the widget dimensions and if it’s >100 then use medium else use small etc.

Same msg on 2 websites at the same time this morning
hosted by ovh, running WordPress Version 3.0.2 / PHP Version 5.2.14
any idea ?
21 December 2010 at 12:47 pm
Maybe a change on Vimeo ?
30 December 2010 at 12:13 pm
Guillaume, I do not have this on my website using the plugin. Are you sure the account you are using has videos in it ?
4 January 2011 at 5:52 am
Love the plugin you’ve created. Very useful. Is there a way to include the videos description under each full video popup?
6 January 2011 at 5:08 pm
Great plugin.
Is there is a way to control the number of videos that appear per page?
1 February 2011 at 6:47 pm
Has anyone created a slider that would essentially allow a user to select a link that would scroll to a vimeo short tag? So, imagine a row of logos. You would click on a logo and three video thumbnails would show up? It doesn’t need to be a slider. I just want to refresh a short tag to display videos associated with logo selected…
THANKS in advance
1 February 2011 at 10:44 pm
Hello,
Great plugin, but how about disable the portrait attribute, please ?
5 February 2011 at 3:06 pm
Hello
I am using your fantastic plugin on my website – http://www.permutations.net/
I have a small problem – the videos appear sometimes, but sometimes they don’t appear. Is there anything I can do, say call a function in my code, that would make sure they always appear?
Thankyou!
6 February 2011 at 1:26 pm
I changed from displaying 4 video thumbnails, to 5… Now it seems to appear every time!
Cheers
9 February 2011 at 11:17 pm
Nice plugin, thanks. Is it possible to get the videos by user and tag, rather than by group? We’re organizing our videos by project, and we don’t really need to create a group for each one, but a tag is pretty natural (and then we can easily add “featured” and “in-progress”, etc.).
Thx.
9 February 2011 at 11:30 pm
Actually, you can ignore that previous request, “album” will work just fine, instead of tag.
10 February 2011 at 10:25 pm
Two issues: can we get rid of the logo that shows up on the thumbnail? It looks awkward on our page.
Also, any chance you could add title and/or description, either on the video itself or above / below the video.
Thanks, really love the plugin!

Is there a way to reverse the sort so that most recent videos show first?
21 March 2011 at 8:24 pm
Would it be possible to add the functionality of having both the Thumbnail AND Title on the wall. And maybe the date uploaded.

Once I came over to fw-vimeo-videowall Fairweb I can only look at portion of it, is this my internet web browser or the internet web site? Should I restart? Cheers Robert Spence
19 May 2011 at 6:47 am
Hi, I love this plugin. I only have one quick question.
Where in the code, can I change the default video size to be let’s say 640px wide by 480px height?
Thank you
4 August 2011 at 12:00 pm
Hello, I tried your plug-in while creating my website localy, and it worked like a charm, but after publishing it on my webserver, when clicking a thumbnail it opens the ‘lightbox’ but no video appaers. It’s black and I have to refresh the page to get out. Is this a common bug? I hope I can get it to work because i really love your plugin; nice and clean!
cheers!
5 August 2011 at 6:32 am
@Mike, thanks for your comment. This is not a common bug. I do not have this issue on the website where I use it which has WP latest version. There may be anotherplugin blocking it. Another idea, are you sure your videos are public ?
15 September 2011 at 11:29 am
Bonjour,
Votre plugin est super mais j’ai un souci avec la lightbox qui contient la vidéo, elle passe sous ma barre de menu et pas par dessus.
Avez vous une solution ?
Merci
Anne

I quite like your plugin – very elegant!
I notice that an earlier poster asked for the option to have both image AND title display as clickable in the gallery. Is that option still in the works?
Thank you for your hard work.
13 October 2011 at 7:14 pm
I love the plugin – but I just left a shared server and moved the site to a VPS and now the only plugin that does not work is this one. I have installed and reinstalled it about 5 times.
The video thumbnails populate the page as usual, but when you click on the thumbnail the black box pops up, but that is it. No player no way to exit the box without refreshing the page.
14 October 2011 at 6:19 am
Obviously, it has nothing to do with your site moving but with the latest WP version. I’ll see if I can fix it.
13 October 2011 at 11:01 pm
It used to work but now it doesn’t. Now it opens up a black box with no video!
14 October 2011 at 6:16 am
Ok, it seems to be broken just lately, on my test site as well, I’ll have a look. Thanks for reporting.
14 October 2011 at 2:24 pm
I have used and loved this plugin. It’s Amazing…. but now mine is broken too. Do we have any estimate on how long it will take to fix this?
14 October 2011 at 7:50 pm
hi there,
been using the vimeo videowall for over a year now with no problems. i noticed today that the videos aren’t loading when i click on the thumbnail. any suggestions?
thanks,
beth
14 October 2011 at 8:42 pm
oops, just read the previous post. i too am having the same problem–click on a thumbnail, black box pops up with no video.
15 October 2011 at 2:04 am
This seems to be very recent so it may be due to some changes in Vimeo itself. I’ll have a look at this next week.
15 October 2011 at 2:35 am
OK, I have found out what it was. Vimeo have made changes in their API. A new version of fw-vimeo-videowall is on its way and will be available very shortly.
16 October 2011 at 1:11 pm
Thanks so much for the fix! Fantastic!
18 October 2011 at 6:34 pm
Was 1.3.3 update supposed to fix the issue with a vimeo video not showing in the box? Cause i updated and it did not work for me and also i deleted and reintalled it and it did not fix the problem ether. Video gallery populates with thumbnail but when i click on it it opens the black box but no video is playing
19 October 2011 at 2:41 am
Llya the 1.3.3 update is supposed to fix this issue and it works on my test sites and obviously for others. Have you tried desactivating other plugins ? The fw-vimeo-videowall plugin uses ajax (so javascript) and some other plugins may interfere. Let us know how it goes.
19 October 2011 at 3:23 pm
I’m getting this error when I try to use my Vimeo username:
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /hermes/web06/b1322/moo.joevalley/wp-content/plugins/fw-vimeo-videowall/fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 235
When I use the default, it works okay. I don’t know why it’s kicking back the error….
3 November 2011 at 8:27 pm
we get this error as well:
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array…
when trying to use videos from a channel.
Any thoughts?
Lee.
4 November 2011 at 6:59 am
What version of PHP do you use ?
24 October 2011 at 3:10 pm
Hi,
Is there any way to display video titles above the thumbnails? I can get them to display below using the title=”true” function, but am not sure how to make them display above.
This is a BRILLIANT plugin by the way, massively helpful!!
Thanks,
Jonny
25 October 2011 at 7:23 pm
Does this plugin require PHP register_globals or asp_tags?
25 October 2011 at 7:29 pm
The plugin still does not work, I ran into the issue after moving the site to a new server, this server has the latest PHP and mySQL installed but wondering if there are some settings that are not allowing it to work test page at fr.scoan.org
25 October 2011 at 7:49 pm
I’m sorry about all the posts, but I have figured out the problem! This is a multi-domain site if anyone goes to another domain other than the one that is setup in WP setting as the domain for the site it will not work. Even if the url is missing www it will not work.
9 November 2011 at 11:46 pm
hello, I put the plugin tg in the post:
http://olhodeboidoc.com.br/w/?p=396
but when I click in the images the videos doens’t appears.
24 November 2011 at 10:11 pm
If i have already music on my page how to stop it when video start or page whit video load it .)
5 December 2011 at 6:51 am
I need a small amount of hand-holding on the short-tag arguments. I am not clear on how to ask for a display of all videos in a particular album. What do I list for source? I would be grateful for examples of code.
13 January 2012 at 10:05 pm
is there any chance to make it when you click on video to lead you on vimeo (=
24 January 2012 at 10:03 pm
using two videowalls on my home page. top one, latest public videos, is suddenly displaying the oldest four videos, not the latest. weird, huh? checked my vimeo channel and they’re in the appropriate order. appreciate any suggestions on what’s going on.
and thanks much for a great plugin.
beth
25 January 2012 at 7:58 pm
Hi Fairweb! Thx a lot for a great plug!
I was wondering if you plan to add a video ID (a single video link), the same way you have id, source, and type. This would be great for showing single videos in a jquery slider for instance.
Best regards
