I would like to execute a shortcode for responsive vimeo embeds in a custom field type. Due to wordpress stripping shortcodes outside of the body however I am unable. Does anybody know how to make this happen?

Thanks so much!

Hi jamesG-3,

I suggest you create another shortcode for it, for example your custom field is using slug my-vimeo. created with Types, in database it's meta-key is wpcf-my-vimeo,
You can try this:
1) add codes in your theme/functions.php:

function my_vimeo_func( $atts ) {
$my_vimeo = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-my-vimeo', true);
return do_shortcode($my_vimeo); 
     return "foo = {$foo}";
}
add_shortcode( 'my-vimeo', 'my_vimeo_func' );

2) use shortcode [my-vimeo] in your content

Thank you for the response. I am actually trying to use an existing shortcode that came with the skeleton theme

[vimeo id="68293434" responsive="true" center="false"] 

Because it does a fantastic job of resizing the videos in a responsive manner on tablets etc. In trying the method above I was unable to subsequently replicate the responsive video sizing.

My hope is to place this shortcode within a view and be able to have that show the video if that makes sense?

Thanks again!

I suggest try create a custom field vimeo-id to store 68293434 values
Go to Views -> Settings and simply add them under the section Third-party shortcode arguments:
add "vimeo"
Then use below shortocde within your view content
[vimeo id='[types field="app-id"][/types]' responsive="true" center="false"]
