Using the Vimeo stack, I enter the user ID from the URL of my Vimeo videos, and it takes me to an evangelical preacher, not my videos! Any ideas?

Not sure what stack you’re using… but perhaps you need to use the **ID of the video,** you want, not the ID of your account.

Hope that helps!

I tried this but sadly no joy, I have tried all the joeworkman Vimeo stacks (they go blank)) and the add on Vimeo stack I purchased (this is the one that goes to the preacher!).

Can we see some screenshots, along with the URL of the vimeo video you want to use? Having a few more details would help diagnose the issue for you 😊

Thank you, I have sort of resolved it by adjusting the privacy settings. This brings up another question however.

I had in Vimeo privacy to set viewable to anyone and then I restricted the domain it can be seen from, so if I publish it that works ok. However if I try to preview it RW it so I cannot due to privacy reasons, so when RW previews what domain does it claim to be so I can add this to the allowed domains?

Not sure you can, RapidWeaver uses localhost ([http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1)) to preview the site, don’t think it would work adding that to your allowed domain’s list in Vimeo, give it a try though. 🤷‍♂️
