iframe works on a page, but not a single, why?

Question

I am trying to load a vimeo video into a single page, but it is telling me:

Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.

but on other pages the same iframe, copied and pasted into a page template, works fine.

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/4426465" width="400" height="230" frameborder="0"></iframe>

When you say "single page", you mean when you view a blog post page? And when you say "page template", you mean when you view a blog "page", like About Us? — Dan Gayle, Commented Sep 20, 2010 at 17:09
Please add a link that is demonstrating the problem otherwise this is too hard to answer. — hakre, Commented Dec 25, 2010 at 14:09

I assume this is message given by Vimeo? In that case it's probably better to ask them.

I know that WP likes to strip out iframes completely, but if it did get to display nothing more WP can break.

Not by default, but it's common if you switch between HTML and visual editor for example.

this code is going straight into the theme files.

In that case it's extremely unlikely for WP to do anything to it.

It's not. Definitely. The iframe is launching, it's just not rendering.

Then it's hardly a WP question... Time to call Vimeo support.
