Vimeo Page Builder

One field, one button. A member of staff pastes a Vimeo ID, clicks BUILD, and a new page goes live: cloned from your master Elementor page, named after the video ID, sitting on /{video-id}/, with the video inside the page swapped to the new one.

How it works, and why it is built this way

The plugin never rebuilds your layout. Elementor stores a whole page as one JSON blob in the database. This copies that blob verbatim and changes only the video reference inside it.

That matters. The usual way one of these breaks is that it recreates widgets in code — which means it encodes assumptions about Elementor's internal widget format, and an Elementor update eventually invalidates them. Copying the blob makes the plugin indifferent to what is in your layout: sections, columns, custom widgets, third-party add-ons, whatever. It does not need to understand them.

What gets changed

Two passes, because a video reaches a page by more than one route:

1. Elementor video widgets set to Vimeo have their URL rewritten.
2. Everything else — hand-pasted `
