This tutorial assumes you successfully installed Vimeotheque PRO and entered the Vimeo API credentials (Client identifier and Client secret) in plugin settings page.
Next step would be to authorize the plugin to query your Vimeo account so that you can import your private Vimeo videos as WordPress posts. This can be done by clicking the button labeled “Authorize the plugin on Vimeo” in plugin settings.
Next, you will be taken to Vimeo and asked for your consent. In case your Vimeo App doesn’t have the correct return URL set in its settings, you will see this error:
Uh oh, something went wrong!
An error has occurred. You won’t be able to connect to Vimeo until it is fixed by the developer.Dear app owner, your redirect URL appears to be misconfigured. Check your application settings and make sure it matches the redirect_uri parameter of your authorization code request.
