JetPack 4.6.2 breaking SoundCloud is Gold embeds

    Hello,

    Just verified and resolved a problem with JetPack 4.6.2 and the SoundCloud is Gold plugin.

    With JetPack 4.6.2 activated, the short code for SoundCloud is broken. With JetPack 4.6, the problem does not happen.

    The error displayed in the live page is “You have not provided a valid SoundCloud URL”.

    Commenting out the add shortcode line in soundcloud.php does resolve the issue, until the next update to JetPack. 

    /**
 * Register SoundCloud shortcode
 */

// add_shortcode( 'soundcloud', 'soundcloud_shortcode' );

    Hey there, @fusionx22!

    Thank you for reaching out to us about this, and for publicly posting a fix for others to find. This is happening because both Jetpack and SoundCloud is Gold use the soundcloud embed shortcode, but use it in different ways.

    With Jetpack enabled, it looks like it’s implementation is taking priority, and it stops working – because SoundCloud is Gold’s format is different. Your edit removes Jetpack’s soundcloud shortcode, and eliminates this conflict.

    If you aren’t using Jetpack’s other Shortcodes, you can also disable that module entirely.

    Please let us know if we can help with anything else! ??

    The Jetpack plugin is also breaking vimeo embeds in 6.5, for example <div style="text-align: center;">[embed height=262 width=423 ]https://vimeo.com/album/3107955[/embed]</div>

    I see that the feature is listed here: https://jetpack.com/support/shortcode-embeds/
    but the link to where you can turn on/off this odd type of embed is not listed anymore, the link shows a module picker screen but I saw no way to disable requiring the different embed shortcodes.
