I’m having a problem with Twitter oEmbeds not converting to embedded tweets. I’ve got the “allow embeds” checked in Forum settings, and it works for both YouTube and Flickr (the only other two URL types I’ve tested so far). But twitter URLS are not converting — instead they show up as a plain URL.

I tried posting this earlier with more details and links, but I think the post must have been flagged as spam (maybe because of the links)?

So this time I’m just posting the overview. If you need a URL to look at or test, let me know.

What happens if you do the same inside a WP Blog Post ?

Do you have the right Twitter link?

Edit:

Looks like it doesn’t work here at bbPress.org as well so maybe a core problem 🙁

Yeah, I tested oEmbeds in a regular post with the same results– works for Flickr & Youtube but not Twitter. Hmm….

UPDATE: Apparently it’s broken for everyone due to a change in the Twitter API: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26844
